No sex drive

I’m 24 weeks pregnant and iv zero sex drive and my partner just doesn’t get it that I don’t want to have sex like at all. He actually huffs now when I turn him down and that’s even more of a turn off. He doesn’t get it I’m uncomfortable in my own body and that my body is changing. I also don’t feel like being touched and pawed at multiple times a day especially when our relationship isn’t in the best place right now because of a lot of other stuff going on. How can I get it into his head that I’m not going to be in the mood just because he is. This pregnancy has been extremely stressful and he’s not making it any better

I’m sorry OP but if you genuinely have to convince him you DON’T want sex then you’re best off just packing your bags now and leaving the relationship. Selfish & thoughtless men make selfish & thoughtless father’s & partners, you don’t want to be reliant on him postpartum when believe me you’ll have less than no sex drive, or energy, or time.

I honestly at this point feel I’d be better off alone. I can’t even have a conversation with him about what’s bothering me because either he doesn’t listen or he thinks I’m hormonal

You’d be better off without the stress of him then OP.

I’m 7 months pregnant with our second child and not once has my husband moaned, huffed, or pawed at me when I’ve not been in the mood. If he can’t listen to & respect your needs now then that will only get far worse when you add a newborn to the mix.

I hate to think what he'll be like after the birth when he thinks you're "available" again. I think you need an honest conversation that it's not fair on you, and you're tiring of it.

Can you just ask that he doesn’t try to initiate sex for the rest of the pregnancy. That if you want it, you’ll initiate?

Breaking up with him. Tried to talk today about some of the things that are getting to me and I could tell it was going in one ear and out the other. Nothing gets took seriously with him and I just feel he won’t grow up

Good for you OP and rather now than when you also have a baby to juggle.
