Lacking Intimacy

Lately I feel like my SO no longer wants to touch me yet alone be affectionate with me anymore. Before becoming pregnant he used to complain that we weren’t having enough sex like when we first started dating. Now it’s almost nonexistent. As my belly has gotten bigger I feel as if I’ve become less attractive to him. Lately he’s been hanging out with his friends more and less time with me.

Him cheating has never crossed my mind, but normally he would never go this long (1 month) so idk what to even think at this point. Thoughts?

ugh i feel you love. :( it’s horrible to feel this way sometimes (less attractive due to our pumpkin bellies) especially because some times i will feel sooo beautiful. now lately i haven’t had any issue with my partner/intimacy — he doesn’t seem to mind at all and actually likes the belly/proud of it in some weird way. but there was definitely periods especially in second trimester we were going through the same thing. honestly it could just be that the stress of baby being here sooo soon is making him not in the mood, which would explain him (wrongly) being more distant and spending more time out/doing dumb things with friends/etc..or it could just be baby/bump getting bigger - some men get really awkward or turned off for some reason just from pregnancy or the idea of a baby being “so close” to them during the deed (which is dumb but i kinda can get it ig) have you tried talking to him to figure out what the cause could be? there are honestly so many things that could be causing it

but please keep in mind your body is doing exactly as it should. providing a safe and healthy home for your growing baby. cherish these moments if nothing else, between you and babe cause they will be gone so soon. 🥺 i’m sure you look absolutely beautiful during this stage in your life, and shame on him for not making you feel like it. you are doing an amazing and beautiful thing. creating life. and that’s one of the most attractive things on this earth. please don’t forget this, dumb men don’t understand the complete mental, physical, and emotion change we have went through from the start of this to where we are now—so it’s easy for them to not think so deeply about it. but you are beautiful and your body is doing everything right for you and babe, sending you all the love and positivity momma💜💜

Dads app!

I have been using this app for the last 6 months ish and found it brilliant for advice and making friends. My partner though doesn’t have any male friends who are dads and I was wondering if anybody knows of anything similar to this app that he could use to find some other dads local to us, to chat to/get advice/make friends etc. anyone any ideas? ☺️
