Hi everyone,
I have read some threads this evening but none quite suit my situation.
I have anxiety and OCD and a lot of my worries centre on my relationship. I have had CBT and tried lots of things which help. During lockdown last year, my sex drive became really low due to the intrusive thoughts around my relationship.
I felt really low & with GP advice started taking a lose dose anti-depressant. This actually helped my sex drive as I felt less anxious; but it isnt back to what it was.
However, I have managed to conceive our second child and currently 14 weeks pregnant. I have had a spike in sex drive at certain points in the pregnancy (which my partner has obviously enjoyed) and me too.
This week though I have felt exhausted but my partner has been really hornby. He never forces it but he will ask me multiple times if I fancy it. I get really annoyed as he will ask again even after I say no. I can feel myself getting annoyed and anxious as a result. I told him how I felt and he got a little defensive then apologised.
He is a great dad and kind but he's kind of irritated me today. Also as my anxiety causes me to avoid certain situations romantically I think he sometimes thinks it's my anxiety that's stopping me hence why he asks again. AIBU to be annoyed?
