Hi Ladies,

This isn’t directly pregnancy related, but our sex life has really taken a hit since we started ttc two years ago. Since then we’ve had a miscarriage and an ectopic and now I’m 33 weeks pregnant and am lucky if we have sex 1-2 times a month. We’re both perfectly healthy and the pregnancy is going great, but getting my husband to have sex is like pulling teeth. I’m constantly pining after him and it makes me feel so icky to get rejected all the time. He works long hours and I know having the baby literally between us weirds him out, but it’s certainly not going to get easier once the baby is here... he’s always tired and stressed and brushes me off. He agrees when the weekend comes around to have some fun time, but it never happens. I even waxed my lady bits, which he loved, but that was a month ago and it’s only happened twice.

I try not to be needy, to be understanding and give him space, but I just feel so sad. And i KNOW he took care of himself this weekend. I hate that i know, i wish i didn’t. We were together the whole time and he promised we’d have intimate time together. We’re affectionate to each other, we snuggle and hug and kiss often and he always tells me how beautiful I am, but i can’t help but feel so alone right now.

If we had sex more often it wouldn’t bother me so much, but I just feel so gross right now knowing that he took care of business and didn’t even try to approach me when I’ve been here, available, ready and really sweet with him all weekend.

Does anyone else ever have this or feel this way? Just feeling so sad and unwanted. Again. It’s been like this for years but just slowly gets worse as time passes and it makes me worry ... 😢
