Feeling obligated to have sex...

Krysta • ✨ 30 🤟🏻 Married 💍 NICU Momma with 2 preemie baby boys 👶🏻 PCOS 💙

I’m 12 weeks pregnant, so my sex drive has been nonexistent recently because I feel nauseous all the time, and it’s hard to get in the mood when I just want to throw up.

It’s been almost 2 weeks since my husband and I have had sex, which I don’t really mind, but he keeps saying how long it’s been. He’ll say “you know, it’s been a long time since we had sex” but then he ignores me the rest of the night. He’ll talk to me if I say something, but he puts in earbuds and goes off into the other room. That doesn’t help put me in the mood either, but now I feel like it’s my fault and I have to force it, even though I just don’t want it right now. The whole thing is just making me feel guilty, irritated, and like it’s my fault and therefore my responsibility to put myself in the mood and then initiate sex. Plus, I know he’s going to expect me to do all the work... uuuuggghhh.

I guess I need to go find a good smut novel to read and hopefully that will get me in the mood and forget about how frustrated he is making me.
