Anyone else struggle when sex life dips?

Myself and husband tend to have sex usually 4-5 times a week. Probably more before I had our first baby and I’m now pregnant with second so it’s gone down a bit.

we had a few weeks there of just complete madness between sport, hobbies, work and sickness and we definitely weren’t having as much sex because of it

I felt myself getting really down and yesterday my husband came home early from work as I wasn’t feeling good mentally. We cuddled for ages and ended up having sex and it was so lovely just to feel close to him and I honestly felt like a weight had been lifted after.

we said we know life gets in the way sometimes but because we gave such busy lives, I really really cherish making love because we’re just absorbed in each other in that time and I didn’t realise how much we needed that time.

this isn’t one of those ‘we have sex 16339 times a day’ threads by the way where everyone competes and dismisses lol. Just curious if other people feel like this?

It definitely does make a huge difference - you can't stay too angry with someone you've had good sex with! I have had bad experiences with guys pushing me away in the bedroom when they are cheating or considering it, so make a point of saying how much it means to me as it does really make me feel rejected if I'm turned down for more than a week with no clear reason.
