Sexually frustrated
So I have been with my husband for 2 years and I am currently 23 weeks with our first baby. My husband and I had a very good sex life in the beginning, almost everyday, but it has slowly gone downhill from there. I have a very high sex drive so this is frustrating for me. Recently we had gone well over a month with no sex... nothing, no intimacy at all. I spoke with my husband about it and he said he’s been under a lot of stress (that’s true) and that he also just doesn’t really enjoy sex, it’s not worth the effort for him. That stung like hell because of course I’m thinking it’s me... I’m not good enough, attractive enough or something ( and I have put on quite a bit of weight through this pregnancy) Im very conscious of my body right now, eating well, going to the gym but I’m still packing on pounds I feel. I told him how I feel and he swears it’s not me, that he finds me very attractive. I asked if he’s been getting satisfied elsewhere and he says no, that he doesn’t even feel the need to, and I do believe him. He’s put forth an effort and we’ve had sex 3 times since then and he seems to be enjoying it, I just still am feeling, unsexy, unwanted and just like I don’t have that power to make him want me and it hurts so bad. I just don’t know what to do anymore, I’m the one having a hard time enjoying intimacy now because I feel like he views us as a chore. Any advice or tips from someone who’s been in this position would be great, I’m at a loss.
