Sexless marriage

[Orangegoose]

Me and my partner haven't had sex for almost 8 months now. We have a baby and I'm co sleeping due to baby waking multiple times a night and its the only way I can get some sleep and function in the day. My partner sleeps in a seperate room due to snoring and waking the baby originally and now due to co sleeping.
Everything else in our relationship is fine, we communicate well, laugh and joke, hug and have little pecks throughout the day. But there's not been anything 'sexual' in so long and I'm stressed because its getting to the point now where it feels it would be awkward to initiate or if he tried to I would feel stressed/awkward.
I'm worried its going to build into a bigger issue in the future, but at the moment I genuinely forget that sex is a thing which sounds really bad AND unlike me! We've spoken about it a bit and he just says its fine we are tired?
I'm just worried we are setting ourselves up for failure/becoming 'roomates'.

In the grand scheme of things 8 months is not really that long- but if you are not sleeping in the same bed that a problem
rather than worrying about not having sex - try touching your partner- touch is arm - touch his back- his bum during the day- just check in that everything is still okay and don’t force the issue too much

I think I would try to reintegrate sleeping in the same bed even if to start with it’s only a couple of times a week . Having a naked cuddle is always a good start and nothing to stop you getting into bed in the day when the baby is sleeping .
I wouldn’t stress especially as you are aware the relationship needs intimacy.

Can you put the baby monitor on once baby is asleep and use a different room in the house?

Get the child out of the bed !
2 kids in and Having been the one who as the Dad was up every nite with them and working 12 hr days - it kicked the shit out of me .
Ex wife never got up . And didn’t work !!!!
So - you got husband Apnea issues and child separation issues .
Put the child in the other room.
Sounds like hubby got the free pass.
Tell him to come fuck you like he should , and sleep in the other room after with the baby .
You can’t do it all.
I learned . Lazy ass ex wife did shit .
Worries about sex are the least of your concerns right now .

The longer it drags, the more awkward it would be. My trick, when I want it but don’t want to be upfront abou it. Is to fake a back pain, ask for a “quick massage” it take 3 mins to be slipping to below my back :)- Hope this trick helps

Plus don’t forget men are simple creature, I bet he would welcome some intimacy. a bit of a tease and they will be ready.
