Don’t want to have sex..

So I’m 32 weeks along, and slowly but surely, I’m sore everywhere, feeling sick ALL the time, and just not feeling very sexy.

My husband has a very high sex drive. He is always kissing me and touching me. He asks a lot for hand jobs and blow jobs (which I don’t mind doing). I came home from work just earlier and laid next to him. He started grabbing me, and kissing on me. He got over top of me, and asked if I wanted to have sex. I told him I was super sore, and feeling sick. He laid back down and said “That’s okay.” And went back to cuddling me. I felt pretty bad, just because I know we’ve been having sex less and less, and because I really did want to be intimate with him. I told him “I really wish I felt better...”

Y’all..this man responded in a way I guess took me by surprise. He said “Sweetie, we don’t need to have sex for me to enjoy you. There’s other things we can do. We don’t HAVE to have sex, if you’re not feeling up to it.”

We ended up making out and just feeling each other. He’s never made me feel bad for turning down sex, but I guess I was surprised by his response because I hear about women being put at a certain standard, quite a bit. Idk, but I just appreciate that my husband, despite having a sky high sex drive lol, can appreciate intimacy in other ways 😭
