Sex with my husband… HELP

My Husband and I just got married in August of last year. Our sex life was very minimal before the wedding because we made the decision to wait until marriage. We’ve been married for almost 9 months and we’ve averaged having sex about 0-2 times per month. Trust me.. I keep track!!!! I wish we had sex more often than that. Honestly, I would have sex with him everyday if I could. I feel embarrassed because it seems like most women have the opposite problem.

He works a lot and he is on medication that lowers his libido. There is some relief in the fact that his medication is the main factor to the lack of sex. But it doesn’t change the fact that it is still really difficult for me. This might be unfair for me to say… but sometimes it feels like he doesn’t even trying. He is always so quick to dismiss me when initiating sex. When we do have sex it’s always in the morning… and he’s obviously already… well you know. When we do have sex it is always so beautiful.. almost poetic! lol But sometimes I will cry after because it feels like I’m being deprived of the most beautiful gift.

We’ve had conversations about it but I know that he gets embarrassed talking about it. I know it’s not something he would feel comfortable talking to his doctor about. We’re buying a house and both agree that we want to have a baby soon. But we have to actually have sex to do that!! I feel discouraged and naturally my mind wanders into dark places. I want to support my husband and uplift him but I’m not sure how to navigate this. This feels horrible to say but my needs aren’t being met.

If anyone has any advice or has experienced a similar situation I would really appreciate your thoughts.

Thank You! ❤️
