Awkward situation just happened

I feel really sad and embarrassed?

Since Ds2 (1y1month) me and DH didn't have set. It's been a while. I breastfed DS2 for 8 months so had 0 libido anyway and we struggled so me and DH were a bit distant anyway

We had our first child free night since he was born and we've just tried to had sex. Prior to this he said he felt a bit awkward. I have too as it's been a while etc but we did foreplay and got into it then he said he wouldn't be able to c*m. I said is it me he was like no I don't know what but it must be me?

BTW no worries of him cheating he wfh fully then goes to the gym and shares his location with me on a finder app and then weekends with me and the kids so I'm not really paranoid over that?

But is he repulsed by me is it just because we've had a bad dry spell :( I don't know what to think I've come and had a bath so I can be sad alone

''If the cat being in the same room stopped me from having sex (solo or otherwise), I'd never have sex ever in my life. If the bugger decides to get involved, shoo him down.''

Oh this made me laugh!
We used to live where there was a playing field, and we's exercise the dogs on it on fine evenings sometimes...and occasionally there would be ''shaggers''.

The lurcher would spot them and go dashing over, leaping around the couple, one man, fair play, it didn't put him off his stride at all, he ignored her , but another was trying to flap her away and stopped.

I called her back to me, but she did watching humans having sex quite amusing.

Our dog just sits and watches. It used to put DH off a bit, but now we just ignore him (the dog, not the DH).

If it’s been so long since you had sex, could he have been using porn to masturbate? It’s well known for causing delayed ejaculation

If the ballsack is empty.....
Edit...I too have heard that men who look at a lot of porn have trouble with actual sex with a partner.

If you haven’t had sex for over a year, he would have been nervous. Also he has presumably been masturbating as his only means of release during that time so it may take him awhile to get used to coming from sex again. No need to feel embarrassed and don’t put him under pressure by keeping on asking about it.

I have a disability which flared up & haven't had much sex the last year. I find after a dry spell I'm awkward & can't fully relax & it stops me finishing. Husband completely understands it isn't personal to him! Just keep trying 🙂
