Hi all!
Looking for some advice and if anyone else has experienced the same when they were/are pregnant. My OH and I's relationship is great, we are so close and connected and for the most part this pregnancy brings us closer and closer by the day. One thing however that is concerning me a little is my OH's desire to have sex with me has gone down. We still have sex at least once a week but I felt a little rejected this weekend. Friday we had a lovely date night. We went for a lovely meal and drinks and then when we got home I started to initiate sex. He was a little merry but as things progressed I could tell he didn't really want to. When we started talking about it he shared that he loves me so much and he never thought he could love me anymore however has this new found love for me. He says he still finds me attractive but he also can't help look at me differently and as a mother. He loves me and wants to look after me but it doesn't make him want to rip my clothes off. When talking the next day (as I got upset) he confirmed he still finds me attractive and wants to have sex with me but it can be strange at times as it seems like the baby is right there. He feels more love and nurture rather than seeing me as a sexual object if that makes sense. I do understand after speaking to him but it's still hard to not feel rejected as my desire hasn't changed for him and my sex drive is super high at the moment! I can't help but get worried and think he doesn't find me sexually attractive anymore and what if he ends up getting his sexual gratification elsewhere? (I know that's probably going over the top dramatic and I trust him but you hear so much about men wondering) Is this normal for men to feel this way about sex when pregnant? Do I have anything to worry about?
Sorry for the long rant haha!
