A reader writes to celebrity advice columnist Coleen asking for help after not having sex with her husband for about a year since their child was born. In her message, she says she and her partner still “fancy each other,” but that the topic of sex has become awkward to discuss. She describes feeling increasingly uncomfortable and unsure how to restart intimacy, and notes that the situation is beginning to feel “weird.”
Coleen’s response, as reported, focuses on practical advice for how the couple can approach the issue during an upcoming weekend trip. The reader indicates there is some pressure building as they plan time away together, and she wants guidance on how to handle that atmosphere and reduce awkwardness.
Across the coverage, the central point is the same: a new parent reports a prolonged gap in sexual activity and seeks advice on how to talk about and reintroduce intimacy in a way that feels less strained.
