Sex drive

My partner has a high sex drive and I'd say I can take it or leave it. Since falling pregnant I have had hyperemesis gravidarum for the first five months, then severe pelvic girdle which has led me to having crutches. I have not wanted any sex because of how much pain I'm in and I'm always feeling really down about how I look.

I've just got home and found a stain on the bed where he has cleared had five minutes of fun and left some of it behind. I asked him and he said sorry.

I know everyone has needs but he knows how insecure I feel and how much pain I've been in, he took an opportunity whilst I was out of the house.

It makes me wonder did he he used porn/ message other women I just don't know as my insecurities are getting the better of me. I'm his wife if anything I wish he would have text me if he was in the mood at least something between us (not full blown sex) could have happened.

I'm due in a few weeks and I don't know if I'm being sensitive but it's really upset me

I mean, I’d just outright ask him. He already admitted to it and did it as respectfully as possibly, minus the failure to clean up. I’m sure he’d reassure you.

I understand you wanting him to “sext” you.
But… at least for my husband, when it’s just a wank. It’s a quick, watch a video we’ve made, so porn, but of us? And quick done over in 5-10max
To text me and make it a whole thing would be 20+ minutes if I even want to.
As you said everyone has needs. And he tried to handle them and get over with without bugging you, buttttt got caught.

I have asked him, I don't expect an apology just a bit of respect. I wouldn't mind but he doesn't cuddle or kiss me like he used to I don't know if it's because he knows I wouldn't be up for it or because he's not interested.

Makes me sad as I've been out making something for the baby and all that is on his mind is to have a wank.

He has videos and photos of me but I doubt he used them.

I just feel sad and insecure and not good enough for him

I meant ask him what he used for the wank so your mind stops wandering irrationally since you’re pregnant. ❤️

Why do you doubt he used them?
I used to, but was impressed to find out when I asked, that’s what he preferred over just anyone porn (which I personally have no problem with, totally just a me thing)
But I’m sorry you feel that way, just trying to point in directions that show you that you shouldn’t be!

Also, I’d say 70% of men, the moment they’re alone go, “ya know what I could do right now?!” And drop their pants 🤣

I did and he didn't answer. Because I feel that insecure that I wouldn't believe him he did say he used them.

I do appreciate all your advice. It's just hurt me I feel so fucking ugly and down and I think it's just tipped me over the edge that I'm not good enough

Lost friends since being a mum

Good morning! Can anyone relate to this!

My two friends and me have always been close since our early teens. I’m the first to have a baby.

One friend has big house, career and boyfriend

Other out of a long term relationship and being single having fun etc

Before baby we would all hang at my
Apartment, chat eat and just have
Fun.

Now I don’t even get a text to ask how my baby is, how I am. I really thought they would be awesome aunties. But honestly they don’t care.

They meet up a lot to do cool things, which I can’t be upset about as I can’t as I have my baby.

I don’t know I feel sad about it.

Am I over reacting?

Work + baby?

Hi everyone I’m a struggling mom needing to go back to work but trying to avoid sending my baby to daycare I’m desperately trying to find work I can do with my baby as I won’t have any one I trust to babysit. If anyone knows anything please reach out. I just want my baby to be safe but living in this economy with one income is just impossible. Please fellow moms im begging for anything!

31 weeks pregnant and lonely

How to deal with loneliness in pregnancy when your boyfriend goes out with his friends drinking 😅🥲 I only have three friends, two are never really free and one lives back in Liverpool and has her own set of friends where she goes to raves and goes on holiday with them lol. My boyfriend is going out soon for the night as it’s sunny and I’ll just be sat here crying like every single time! When does it stop 🤣
