32 weeks pregnant and don't want sex

DP is harassing me. I don't want to be touched, I'm grumpy, my hips hurt, my lady bits are sore. He says that I should be able to go all the way up to birth and should be able to have sex.

AIBU?

No, you don’t have to do anything you don’t want to. He sounds pathetic.

Gladiola44 · 21/01/2018 10:47

He is abusive and revolting.

hidinginthenightgarden · 21/01/2018 10:48

Strap one of those baby suits to him for a week and kick him in the balls (for the sore lady bits not for sadistic pleasure). See if he still wants to have sex after a few hours?

Disclaimer: I am obviously joking about the balls kicking!

Nope - I was in agony at bed time with my hips and back and massive bump. He should be respectful of your wishes. You don’t have to do anything you don’t want to. We didn’t have sex from about 34 weeks till Baby was 9 weeks old.

He can bloody well wait!!

boomboomboom6 · 21/01/2018 10:48

To clarify, he says there is no 'medical reason' why I shouldn't Hmm

My reason is that I'm grumpy, in pain and uncomfortable.

What a vile man

JustDanceAddict · 21/01/2018 10:49

Vile. Tell him to have a wank!

FucksBizz · 21/01/2018 10:50

You don't even need a reason to say no. No means no. Tell him to respect that.

TheCrossKeys · 21/01/2018 10:50

You don't have to do anything you don't want to do, and I say that as someone who went right off sex for two entire pregnancies and was medically advised to avoid it for another. If your DP needs 'relief', he has hands, he can discretely take himself away for some alone time in the shower.

Have you told him that he's being a dick?

BlondeB83 · 21/01/2018 10:51

What a twat!

LouHotel · 21/01/2018 10:53

He's being vile and needs to do a bit of research on the third trimester.

Very disrespectful to me mopey about sex when your partner is nearing the birth of your child.

Me and DH went quite far into pregnancy but stopped around 36 weeks but everyone is different and when i said enough he was understanding.

MrsPicklesonSmythe · 21/01/2018 10:53

You don’t need a doctors note to get out of having sex. Wtf is wrong with him?!

boomboomboom6 · 21/01/2018 10:54

Thankyou - I have just shown him this thread and he is shocked at being called vile Grin

Urgh he sounds awful. I imagine he will be even worse when you've given birth, demanding sex again whether you feel ready or not unless you can get a doctor's note.

TheSpottedZebra · 21/01/2018 10:58

OP that smiley face is really misplaced. He should be horrified by his attitude. As should you.

He does indeed sound totally vile. Entitled, disprespectful twat.

You are carrying his child (with the resulting symptoms) and he is treating you like a wanksock.

What a fucking catch. Not.

Tw1nsetAndPearls · 21/01/2018 11:01

If this is representative of his attitude towards you I would be LTB and I don't say that often

ScipioAfricanus · 21/01/2018 11:02

What horrible, entitled, and almost abusive behaviour. I had no sex at all during my pregnancy (high risk pregnancy and infertility) and for quite some time afterwards (c section, colicky baby) and my husband was amazing about it. Maybe some people would think ‘poor him’ but I feel very grateful to have married someone who cares about me and his child more than short term sexual gratification.

AmberTopaz · 21/01/2018 11:02

I didn’t want sex when I was 32 weeks pregnant. DH would not have dreamt of pressuring me.

FissionChips · 21/01/2018 11:04

What a fine man you have there !

RochelleGoyle · 21/01/2018 11:04

What's selfish dickhead! I'm glad you've shown him this thread and I hope he's shut his cake! Brew

64BooLane · 21/01/2018 11:05

he is treating you like a wanksock

This. Grim. Why exactly does he want to have sex with an unwilling woman?

Twinkletoes2018 · 21/01/2018 11:06

He sounds selfish we only had sex 4 times the whole pregnancy due to my spd my husband never complained once x

honeylulu · 21/01/2018 11:07

"No medical reason" is not enough! You also have to be willing!
