SO Won't Have Sex 😔

Hi everyone,

I'm posting anonymously because I have a few friends who use this app. I'm currently 29+3 and my SO and I haven't had sex since the 1st trimester! He has always had a lower sex drive than me, but it's getting kind of rediculous now. I haven't even been physically super horny or anything, but I'm really missing the emotional connection that sex with someone that you love brings. I've tried to talk to him about it, and he insists that he isn't afraid of hurting the baby (I've sent him numerous articles about how it's safe), he insists that I look better than ever...So then why won't he have sex with me? I've tried to start it a few times and can't even get him hard. He says he's not taking care of it himself...Normally I wouldn't care much if he did, but I'd be kind of pissed to find out that I've been wanting to have sex and he'd rather spend time with his hand! Lol He's always been very vanilla..no porn, not interested in lingerie, not turned on by sexting, etc, so I can't figure out how to get him turned on anymore. It's been so long since we've even had a passionate kiss that I'm afraid I'm going to be rusty! 😳

I'm not sure if anyone else is going through this, or if anyone has any advice, but I'm feeling really down about it. Even at 29 weeks I haven't gained a single pound, so I know in my heart that I look fine, but I can't help but feel undesirable and unwanted, plus frustrated and hurt. Any tips or encouraging words would be appreciated! 😧
