I feel very hurt by the lack of intimacy my partner shows towards me. We never ever have sex any more. I have an interest in him sexually but I don't believe he shares that back with myself. I've brought up the lack of sex in our relationship and has said that it's not that he doesn't find me attractive but that he doesn't know if I'm tired or in the mood for sex. I told him I was in the mood and just wanted to feel close to him and that I would like us to start having sex again.
Well that conversation has fallen flat because nothing changed, our relationship still remained sexless. I brought up the topic again and explained that after two children my body has changed and I'm going to start to tone up and lose some weight (I'm a size 14 was a 10/12) he told me to stop being silly and that he still loved my body. I then said is there anything bothering him and he explained there wasn't and that again he didn't want to put sex on me and pressure me into it as I look tired a lot of the time (thankssss 😂)
I've tried numerous times to talk with him. I've tired pretty much every thing and anything to get the sex back into our relationship but he isn't interested. We are only young 24 me and he is 30. Has anyone here been through anything similar?! If so how did you overcome it? I just feel very unattractive and hurt but it's not as though I haven't tried.
