Hi all, I'd really appreciate hearing some people's experiences and feeling a little less alone, and perhaps get some advice. I'm 21 weeks pregnant and I just feel so alone 😢 for the past month my dp and I have been so distant, there's no closeness or intimacy at all. We have existing relationship problems anyway and have stuff we really need to work on (planning to start couples counselling but just haven't gotten round to organising it). But this is the first time we've ever had such distance, I think we've kissed and had sex twice in the past 4 weeks. Previous to this I think the longest we've not had sex was maybe a week/10 days, and I don't think more than a few days without kissing each other (and only when arguing). I don't know if it's common for pregnancy to cause a divide?? It has coincided with me starting to be visibly pregnant, is this a thing? I asked him if he felt weirded out by having sex with me while I was pregnant and he said he did feel a little different about it knowing there's a baby 'with us' during, but that it wasn't a big issue. He's blamed being tired and busy, but at other times during our relationship he's been tired and busy and this distance wasn't an issue then. I've seriously considered whether he's interested in/seeing someone else, even though I really really don't think he's the cheating type (though I also strongly believe that you can't ever be 100% sure about any one!). I'm not trying to be close with him because I feel so vulnerable right now and afraid of rejection, and I need the desire for closeness to come from him iyswim? But I just feel so unhappy and alone and I don't know what to do. I've always been a really insecure person and I need affection and intimacy for reassurance so I'm struggling so much without it. I've tried taking to him but he doesn't seem to understand how much this is affecting me and he's not giving me any explanation (other than busy and tired which I just don't buy) and not making any effort to be reassuring or loving. Any support people can give would be really appreciated. Thank you x
