Am I overreacting?

Question

So, my husband has this female friend that he went to school with. I'm completely fine with him having female friends, but I feel a little strange about this girl. She usually has a boyfriend when they talk but their conversations get almost a little flirty and they've sent selfies back and forth, just normal ones, nothing raunchy. 
I asked him a couple months back to stop talking with her because she makes me feel uncomfortable, to which he did.

I'm 35 weeks pregnant, and my husband loves me and the baby to pieces. He always tells me how much he loves me and wants the best for me. Well, since I've been pregnant, our sex life has been lacking (on his part). We've had arguments about why he doesnt seem interested anymore and he can't seem to tell me why. I know for a fact that he's not cheating on me, I'm a stay at home wife and he never goes anywhere but work or out with me. But it makes me feel insecure and unwanted that sex is such an issue. Then, I had a bleeding issue and am on strict 'no sex' orders by the doctor anyway.

The other night, I got out of the shower and my husband was sitting on the couch and just for some attention, I went over and sat on his lap in my towel. He gave me a hug and kiss on the head and kinda brushed me off from there. I obviously got a little frustrated, I know we're on no sex orders but he used to kiss on me and be more affectionate with me, especially if I was sitting naked on him.

So today, I saw that he had been texting that girl while he was at work yesterday. Nothing sexual, just chit chat. He told her he needed 'company', someone to talk to while he was at work, even though I was texting him the whole time. They both exchanged a picture of the other and talked a bit about what the other had been up to.

I haven't brought this up to him yet, but am I overreacting by being upset over this?
I feel like I wouldn't be so irritated if he hadn't brushed me off the other night. I just wanted an outsider opinion before talking to him about it.

Answer

I don't feel like you're overreacting. If he's reaching out to another woman for "company" that would feel borderline emotional cheating to me.

Answer

why tf are they exchanging pictures of themselves?! that doesn't make SENSE. i wouldn't like it at all and no you're not overreacting!!!

Answer

Simple answer... NO you're not overreacting.

Answer

I'd only be upset since he said he'd stop talking to her. With the sex stuff my hubby is the same way. All he can think about is our baby girl so it makes him uncomfortable.

Answer

I don't think you're overreacting at all. He should show you more attention and be more affectionate with you all the time. I think it's super inappropriate for them to send pictures back & forth regardless if they're just selfies or sexual pictures. He's your man, he should only be sending pictures to you and receiving from you.

Answer

I wouldn't say too much about this friend. But share how you feel that he has been distant. That you have been emotional especially being pregnant and that you would love if he would make an effort to connect with you and be intimate even without sex. You want to feel loved and wanted and ask him what you can do to help him through this period as well. In a few weeks you will no longer be just a couple. You will have a baby and time will be even more limited. You need to take advantage of it. Go to the movies, on walks, go in fun dates. Spend time together as a couple. You will have all of your lives to have sex. Now the baby's health comes first and you both need to support each other. You can still help me release by giving him oral or whatever he needs. I'm not sure if you can orgasm or not or if it's just intercourse that is to be avoided. But if you can orgasm, he can try to do oral on you. Or you can use a vibrator on your clit. Whatever you guys can do to bring the passion back. I would say a lonely man isn't good. Make sure he knows you know he's lonely and you want to make sure he doesn't feel that way. Best of luck!!

Answer

No you aren't.why does he need company? He can hang with the guys,but her oh heck no.he sounds like he is at the start of a bad path.

Answer

Do you think he could be avoiding sex due to the pregnancy? A lot of men (stupidly) get it in their head that they could hurt the baby so maybe it's that? Obviously coz all men are hung like horses and can reach up that far and touch the baby 😂🙈

Answer

I don't think your over at all!!! He's lied to you by saying he won't talk to her. And "I need someone to talk to" in call your wife jerk!

Answer

Yes..and you are irritating him im sure. All i did was read your post and you have irritated me.
