My husband is just not sexual anymore.

I’m really struggling guys. I was okay with it for a while but now I’m feeling stressy depressy. My husband is just not sexual anymore. We got married in October and have had sex maybe 5 times. I’ve cried and begged for some intimacy but continue to get nothing from him. I’m almost 19 weeks pregnant and we haven’t done it once since we conceived. (Tried once but he “got a cramp” and lost it. This was over a month ago.) wondering if anyone else has dealt with this or if I’m alone. I’ve never met a man who doesn’t jump at the chance especially after so long.

I haven’t dealt with it myself. However it’s really not uncommon for men to not want to engage in sex with their pregnant partners for a variety of reasons. Mainly due to fear of hurting baby or just finding it weird whilst a baby is inside. Is he intimate in other ways ? Do you still cuddle and kiss and spend time with each other ?

Some men are not into sex while lady is pregnant. And some women are not either. Try a different time of day. (Morning sex before lunch or afternoon sex before dinner) dress in lingerie.

It was like once a month before pregnancy. Now it’s nothing! 😭 hopefully it’ll change eventually. He’s a great husband. We spend a lot of time together but not very intimate.

I would talk to him about it. Try and be as sensitive as possible and not apportion blame. Be understanding and try not to pressure him. Try and think how you’d like the conversation to go if it was the other way around. Be intimate in other ways like hand holding, hugs on the couch, kissing just because; go out on date nights, make time for each other; send him a message when he’s not around.

I didn’t get any for the last trimester (basically as soon as I was showing). Partner said it weirded him out 😆. I can laugh about it now but struggled with feeling huge, ugly and unwanted. Have a heart to heart with him. Perhaps you can find a non sexual way to be close. Massage etc ? His libido came back 2 weeks post partum (then it was my turn to be uninterested)

I am almost positive now after some research that it is a p0rn addiction… 🫠 we’re having a talk tonight. Will update once I get the full story. He has never agreed to just be honest. He always says “it’s nothing” but he finally agreed to let me help him work through whatever issue he is having.
