My husband is amazing. He lets me rest, he’s considerate, he cares for our toddler when he sees me struggling to chase after him, he helps me around the house .. but I miss being touched. I miss when he’d used to pet me or rub my back or touch my hair or just give me a hello kiss. I have to remind him all the time just to kiss me after he has come home from work.

If I ask him to rub my back, it lasts maybe 10 seconds before he’s done. I have to kind of nag him to touch my belly and talk to the baby. It makes me really sad. I miss his affection. If I bring it up, he’ll just insist he does all of those things. He doesn’t see it.

I‘m ready for baby to come. I miss my marriage.
