Wanting sex or needing it, are two different things. I may want it but i don't need it,

I still remember the day my husband was holding our young child in his arms and was trying to get his attention and he said
"it's not all about you anymore"

and of course, I knew our lives would change becoming parents and I wouldn't go back ever to not being a parent
but also didn't know how being deprived of sex for a long time would make me feel so unloved
but felt it was the price for becoming a parent

That's quite sad amy40.
Although becoming a parent brings changes to the life you had prior, it shouldn't leave you feeling unloved. Sex can still occur, it doesn't have to disappear because there's a child in the home.
I understand some people worry about being 'caught' by their kids .... it's a natural part of a relationship so perhaps mum and dad's room should be out of bounds after a certain time, unless there's an emergency. It may not be 'all about you' anymore because it's all about 'the family' and not any one individual but there can still be time for affection when it's wanted.

I find that to be incredibly sad also. "the price"... It seems like a punishment.
It can be managed to the benefit of you all.
