To not want sex when I feel like shit

DH is annoyed with me because I've not been wanting to have sex lately. We don't get much alone time, getting the kids in their own beds and asleep seems to take forever and by the end of a long day I usually have a headache and I'm exhausted. I've always gotten headaches easily and I'm currently 26 weeks pregnant and in my previous pregnancies my headaches have seemingly gotten worse and more frequent towards this time. His response is usually something along the lines of "a headache doesn't stop you from doing anything" but am i BU to not have sex if I'm not really going to enjoy it?

Yanbu. Sex isn't a right. If you arent feeling up to it thwn a simple no should be respected.

Some men can't cope with this though so either have a moan about it or act like you've insulted them.

Hes got hands, hes capable of pleasing himself surely.

Of course yanbu.

Why would he want to have sex with you if you weren't into it? That would really put me off.

Go and have a bath or a lie down. I hope your headache calms down, and your dp stops being a pest.

This.
Suggest he goes and takes a long bath/shower...

Of course yanbu no one should have sex unless they actually want to. Anything else is just wrong.

Tell him to piss off. I've not had sex with DH since about 16 weeks, not a murmur of complaint, lots of cuddles and affection with no expectation.

PipGoesPop · 04/11/2018 10:53

Disgusting attitude. Why are women expected to put up with this shit?

Whining is such a turn on. Urgh to sex with a man who is selfish and gets off on the fact that he's having sex with you even though you really don't want it.

YANBU Ask him why he wants to have sex when he knows you won't enjoy it because you feel ill.

MrsJayy · 04/11/2018 10:58

As a pp sex isn't a right or a duty just because he wants it you don't need to oblige, the fact he said you can do other things with a headache shows he thinks he is entitled would put me right off him.

Tell him a sulky husband is a bloody turn off .

Absolutely do not have sex if you’re not feeling it , he can bugger off.
