I'm like an elephant, apparently?

Last night I crawled in to bed, and tried to have sex with my husband. His response was to push me off, and say something along the lines of "it's like a fat elephant got in to bed and tried to have sex with me"

I immediately left the bed, and slept all night in the spare room.

I was drunk and probably very clumsy in my approach. He was sober. For context, whilst I have been as small as a size 8 and 9 stone, I am currently a size 14 and about 10.5 stone. Certainly not massive! But I definitely have a belly.

I have no idea how we can come back from this. Our sex life was fantastic for a few months a while back (no idea why, as he normally has a low sex drive), but since the middle of February it's been shit, and we've only had sex once in the past 6 weeks. I have put on some weight, but we are talking about half a stone, not masses.

He is still asleep (he doesn't start work today until 1pm). How do I deal with this when he gets up? I feel that if I let this slide, I'll have no self esteem left! Or am I over reacting?

No, a wank wouldn’t be the same, but it can provide a release and potentially reduce irritability. Orgasm has many health benefits.

I had an ex who poked my belly while I was putting my top on and told me I could feed Africa.

Like I said, ex.

OP its hard to believe you would sex pest someone you love though. If you don't care if they are actually into it or not then its hard to see why that kind of sex is superior to DIY.
