I'm in a bit of a dry spell with my partner at the moment. And im feeling really sad that he isn't getting any action at all. Im 35 and he is 48. We have been together 11 years and have young children together. I have been having gynae issues this last year including cervical ectropion, ovarian cysts and pain and bleeding amongstother things. I just don't want to do the deed because it triggers a bleed and then I have to deal with the pads and blood etc for days afterwards. Also I think my hormones have dropped off and I'm just never in The mood. I feel so bad for him but I just really don't want to be touched down there incase of pain and bleeding. We do other things once in a blue moon and always lots of kisses and cuddles, affection. But I'm trying to explain to him that it's uncomfortable for me and I'm tired from being a toddler mum etc. AIBU for thinking of telling him i would like a sexless relationship until I can feel better and get the treatment I need for my health. Are any of you mumsnetters in a similar situation? How did you broach ot with your partners? I just really don't want him to think I don't feel attracted to him because I am. He's gorgeous and an amazing partner and father. I just don't want to have that intimate side of a relationship with him right now.
