Tips on talking to husband about spending more time with me
Disclaimer: My husband and I are usually pretty good at communicating, but I'm feeling a bit insecure asking him to spend more time with me lately. I'm 34 weeks pregnant and we haven't been able to have sex since 21 weeks. I'm high risk. I just feel lonely, I miss sex, and am thinking maybe he has been distancing himself some because it's harder to get intimate knowing we can't have sex. We have access to each other's phones and emails and social media accounts so I know he's not cheating if that's what anyone is thinking. We are also closing on a house & planning on moving soon so maybe he's been a bit stressed about that?
After work my husband comes home, eats (either he cooks or I cook), we might watch an episode of Blue Bloods together on Netflix, and then after that he tends to stick to himself. I will admit I have been sitting farther away from him bc it's easier on my back to lay down & that has made cuddling while watching tv quite difficult. Actually cuddling on the couch in general is out of the question with this basketball for a belly. 😂 He's been playing this incredibly annoying game on his phone NONSTOP since he downloaded it. It's some stupid Clan game. Not sure on name. Either way, I just feel super distant from him. I want to ask him to spend more time with me, but I don't know how. I've been a bit more insecure and anxious since being pregnant.
So how do I talk about this with him without accusing him of being a bad husband or making him feel bad? I will appreciate any advice. Thanks!
