DEAR DEIDRE: MY partner isn’t interested in sex with me any more. I am worried she is distancing herself from me because someone else has caught her eye.
We have been together for six years and are both nearly 30. We have a lovely girl a year old.

Our sex life hasn’t been good since she was born.
We have always had our ups and downs but were close sexually until now.
My partner has started a new job, bought fresh clothes and got a new hairstyle.
When she got home I said how sexy she looked and we kissed and cuddled.
But when she realised I was aroused she pushed me away.
DEIDRE SAYS: Your “rival” might be sheer exhaustion with a lacing of hormonal changes following childbirth.
It can be stressful for a new mum to go back into the workplace.
Tell her you love her and want to get your sex life back on track because it helps you feel close.
Take over care for your girl some evenings while your partner puts her feet up.
She is more likely to feel sexy then.
