When my husband's not in the mood.....
My husband and I haven't been preventing for over 2 years, but we really haven't been TTC very hard. We've had the mind set "if it happens, it happens". Besides my husband is scared and always has a reason why we aren't ready. Honestly, it's just because he doesn't know what to do with a kid. I am a early childhood educator and have full confidence in my abilities to raise a child, even though I know it will be hard. Anyway, I wanted to get started on this because I'm 31 and I'm terrified we are wasting time.
So I've been tracking the last few months but every time I'm ovulating I can't get him to have sex! Our sex life recently is like once or twice a week since he works so much. He's exhausted every night. So I try to drop hints all day, or start something before he gets sleepy and every damn time I get shot down. We have sex pretty regularly the rest of the month, but it's like I give off an ovulating signal and he's not in the mood. Haha
I don't really want to tell him I'm "trying trying", not that I'm trying to trick him into pregnancy, he's okay if it just happens, but he doesn't want to try.
We've had a miscarriage two years ago and part of me wonders if he's scared of that happened again.
Does anyone else deal with their husband not being in the mood? How do you handle that?
