I'm very similar, I think it's even harder after a baby because I got so touched out in the beginning, if baby is sleeping in your room etc. I sleep in the nursery with mine so don't have that problem. But a couple weeks ago ended up talking to hubby about it as I also just do it sometimes even when I don't really want to but he can tell and then doesn't like it himself. So I've tried to not just do it for the sake of it but be more mindful of when I might be up for it and encourage those times, rather than leaving it so long I feel I have to. I've also tried to pay attention to what makes me more inclined to. For me it's actually spending quality time with him on weekends, not when he's trying it on when I haven't seen him all day and we are both tired. Communication is very important I think, even though it is very difficult. Happy to chat more if you want to DM me.
This makes me so sad. You don’t owe your partner sex in any way shape or form now matter what he’s dealing with, or how your low sex drive may make him feel. You’re putting his feelings on a pedestal and making yourself uncomfortable in a desire to please him, that is heartbreaking. I’m not surprised you dread sex if you’re doing it out of feeling like you need to for the sake of his happiness. Sex should benefit the both of you, it’s a mutual exchange, not something he’s owed.
And does anyone have any advice ? 😞
