Six months without sex

8 replies

Dh and I haven't had sex for the last six months - main reason is that I'm pregnant and just not in the mood at all. Tbh I don't want him to touch me at all other than for hugs and cuddles. Dh is being very good and understanding but I do feel a little bit guilty sometimes, wondering whether I should make the effort just like he's making the effort to be understanding? I can't see me wanting any "action" until a few months after the baby is born either, so that might then add up to nearly a year without sex. Is that too much to ask of any man?

No.

another vote for no.

contrary to popular belief men aren't ruled by their penises and if their wife doesn't want sex for whatever reason they should accept that.

NO WAY! is that too much to ask of any man. Don't you worry about 'his needs'. You are the baby carrier and so your needs come first .

6 months!! oh how is the poor man coping

your feelings count as well.

so no, its not too much to ask of any man,. there is more to relationships than sex.

i'm sure he'd rather not have sex than have it with someone who doesn't want to.

try to make sure you maintain some intimacy - even if its not sexual - though. you'll regret it if you don't

No it's not too much to ask. Dh was fine with this - when not pg I don't think he'd be too understanding for 6 months (neither would I!) but during pg he was fine with whatever I wanted (or didn't!).

my dh seems to have managed for over 6 years, so I wouldn't worry too much
