aaarrrggghhh stop touching me!

[biddysmama]

aibu, i'm 27 weeks pg, i have a toddler who obviously likes to snuggle her mama and a dp who wants to touch me ALL THE TIME!

if i sit on the sofa he puts his hand on my belly, in bed he wants to hug me all night

i'm feeling a bit claustophobic!

aibu to want some time where no one is touching me?

cant even bath by myself because dd has decided she doesnt like to bath on her own anymore

obviously its dp not dd thats bothering me the most

YANBU. I have three DC's, am a SAHM and feel like I have been breastfeeding or pregnant for the past 6 years (there have been gaps obviously). I feel like I have lost the rights to my body and the one place I would like to have space to myself is in bed - and I can't really say - BUG OFF - I just need my own space!! If you come up with a diplomatic way of saying it without causing hurt and offence, I might just have to use it!

Bathtime is the worst. its true.
But I found a secret weapon, a weapon of mass destruction

can you squirt ? try to get him in the eye

I'm 26 weeks. For the last few weeks I have had a long thing cushion between me and dh in bed. It's not to stop dh hugging me, more to stop dd (4) irritating me if she comes into our bed.

I think the barrier helps mentally though.

My dd has cutely regressed at dinnertime wanting me to feed her. Tonight I grumped about how hard it was feeding two, NO THREE people. That made her laugh.

Oh, the official reason for the cushion is to support my back when I lying the opposite way and to stop me rolling onto my front when facing it. Does that make sense?

Totally understand. There came a point with me me I was touched out! I wanted my own space. Even the cat got turfed off when she tried to sit on my knee.

OldMac...you are seriously weird

AF - thanks. Ive had a hard life

but Im not bitter. and it does work

I am now almost term and DH has been forced decided to move to the spare room and has been there for weeks! I can't bear being snuggled, hugged , touched or anything and it has been like that for months! Poor deluded man thought hormones would make me sex crazed

I still sleep with the long pillow between me and DH even though DS is now three [blush} I just can't get comfortable without it. I feel like all of my bones are jarring against each other and I generally feel wrong without it. I love that damn pillow.

I'm with you, biddysmama, and I don't even have the excuse of being pregnant.
DH is fine with it - and actually, is a bit the same himself.

lol oops, my dp's childless single friend told him pregnant ladies are horny lol

yama... you made me realise that i'm feeding 3 people as well!! me, baby and bf dd!

I completely agree. I have a cuddly DD (2.9) and a very very cuddly DS (7m) who is breast fed. Baths aren't too bad but I'm co-sleeping with DS who wants to feed every hour through the night at the moment and cuddle the rest of the time. I long to be somewhere on my own.

DH, bless him, has got me a treat tomorrow because we've been having such rubbish nights. He's arranged a massage. Lovely and very thoughtful of him but I DON'T WANT TO BE TOUCHED . I'm sure I'll bear it though.
