My son is 18 months old and post-partum only lasts for six months according to a psychiatrist. But the problem we had was first his infidelity, then him giving me permission, and then I felt guilty for doing it. That is why I divorced him because of guilt. Nowadays, we both flirt with others, and for about three months we had an open relationship while dating. He got jealous so we went back to being committed. I don’t want my son to be torn between his parents. My parents divorced when I was 4 1/2. So I know what it is like.
