How would you take this?

I’ve recently given birth to a beautiful baby girl. Throughout the pregnancy sex was actually non-existent.

Since having the baby DH has wanted it non-stop.

We were giggling and messing around today and I said “I’ve got my stallion back” he turned around and said “well yeah I’ve got nothing to release into now.”

How would you take this statement? I’m just so disgusted and told him what I thought he was implying by that statement but think I’m being gaslighted as he says I’m over reacting and it doesn’t mean what I think.

What would that statement imply to you?

You still haven't explained what he thinks he meant though!

TheGrumpyGoat · 03/10/2021 16:59

Your explanation makes no sense OP because he has got something to release into now. You.

Rosesareyellow · 03/10/2021 17:01

I’m so confused. I don’t know what he meant and I don’t get what you thought he meant.

WhatAPickledOnion · 03/10/2021 17:01

I’m not speaking to him, told him I’m disgusted, he was just like a deer in headlights after saying it.

I’m assuming he had a “rent-a-vagina” during my pregnancy because he didn’t fancy me.

Then called it off when I had given birth.

“I’ve not got anything to release into anymore” I’m implying I’ve called it off with my mistress now you’re no longer pregnant that’s why my sex drive is so high with you.

Both of your statements are gross, but I think you’re letting your insecurities from your pregnancy influence your interpretation here OP. I would assume he didn’t like the idea of his dick near the baby as PPs have said.

TheGrumpyGoat · 03/10/2021 17:03

However if you genuinely think that’s what he meant that there must be some relationship issues… either he’s cheated or you have massive trust issues (or both).

“I’ve not got anything to release into anymore” I’m implying I’ve called it off with my mistress now you’re no longer pregnant that’s why my sex drive is so high with you

No one else is seeing that implication into his words, just you. It doesn’t make any sense.

goawayalcg · 03/10/2021 17:04

I would never think what you think he means. But, I wouldn't have sex with someone who I suspect had a mistress while I was pregnant.

BordelDeMerde · 03/10/2021 17:04

Well, I'm confused. And you continuously repeating the conversation isn't really helping matters, OP.

Thatsplentyjack · 03/10/2021 17:05

It doesn't make sense. Any conclusion I try to draw from the doest really make sense. It's such a weird think to say.

smallybells · 03/10/2021 17:05

OP have you tried out for the olympics?? Because that's the biggest jump to a conclusion I've ever seen.

goawayalcg · 03/10/2021 17:05

Your take doesn't make sense as he does have "something to release it into" 🤮. You.

Nobodysempire · 03/10/2021 17:05

I don't understand Confused

SameToo · 03/10/2021 17:06

@WhatAPickledOnion ffs ask him! I think your conclusion is a bit bonkers tbh. And he’s ‘releasing’ into you so the statement doesn’t make any sense.

hippoherostandinghere · 03/10/2021 17:06

But surely he would have said now I've got something to release into not nothing to release into. None of this makes any sense. What does he say he meant? Have you any other reason to believe he'd been seeing someone else?

mynameiscalypso · 03/10/2021 17:06

The whole conversation is a bit gross but I think you're reading something into it which isn't there at all. DH didn't want sex during pregnancy - I assumed it was because he felt weird about it rather than he was having sex elsewhere. The latter wouldn't have even occurred to me.

Thatsplentyjack · 03/10/2021 17:07

Go ask him what he ment OP instead of just saying he's disgusting and not talking to him, and ce back and tell us.
You remind me of someone I know. They're stories makes no sense and are ways a bit disjointed and weird.

TheGrumpyGoat · 03/10/2021 17:07

OP….
Either he’s cheated while pregnant, or you have massive trust issues. Either way, it’s not a healthy relationship. How is your relationship normally? Does he have form for cheating? Do you have form for accusing him of cheating?

katemuff · 03/10/2021 17:07

You thought he was having an affair your entire pregnancy? Or hiring prostitutes? Why didn't you confront this?

Biscuits1 · 03/10/2021 17:08

I don't know what he meant but definitely wouldn't have thought he meant he was sleeping about. It sounds like he was having banter after your banterish comment about being a stallion. He might have meant that there is nothing in the way now. Btw I'm pregnant and DH doesn't want it, he says it feels weird with the baby being there. This happens to lots of men but I don't think for one second he is sleeping about. I think your emotions are all over the place so I would try not to look into it too much and enjoy your new family life and your great sex life.

WhatAPickledOnion · 03/10/2021 17:08

That’s what I mean he would never normally say such a derogatory statement like “I’ve got nothing to release into anymore” it’s like he’s talking derogatory about some slag and now he’s back with his wife.

Another one baffled here Confused

TheGrumpyGoat · 03/10/2021 17:09

And you say you assumed he was sleeping with someone else throughout your pregnancy… but you were happy to continue your relationship and resume your normal sex life with him once the baby was born?

LadyGAgain · 03/10/2021 17:10

To me it sounds like he's calling your vagina loose. But then your interpretation is also a weird conclusion. As was your original comment so who knows.

AccidentallyOnPurpose · 03/10/2021 17:11

I can see why you'd jump to that conclusion, it actually makes more sense than some of the things other posters came up with.

Unless he had some kind of sex aid/doll and it's gone now that you're not pregnant anymore.
