To want to feel wanted by my husband

So me and dh haven't had sex or really any kind of intimacy for over a year....
We have a 5 month old so basically not simce we conceived
Every night we go to bed and he literally put the duvet in between us so I can't even touch him. I have to ask for a cuddle. And if I'm lucky I get a few minutes then he pushes me away and rolls over.
Guess I'm just feeling a bit unloved and not sure what to do

Have you talked to him about it, asked him why?

No not really. Just says he's tired

It sounds like you need to have a proper conversation about how parenting has changed things, if indeed it has at all. I've read lots of threads here about how sex lives and intimacy have taken a nosedive following children when it turns out it was always an area of difficulty or strain in the relationship that didn't get addressed.

I would think about how it was before you conceived and try to talk again about it. Focus on how you'd like it to be, not how it is and why because that makes him clam up.

Then see if you are on the same page. If so, make a plan together. If not, I'd still suggest relationship counselling to help you figure out what to do.
