Sex???

My husband and I have a 2 year old and Im 36 weeks pregnant with our second. I work remotely and my husband has a flexible/hybrid schedule. Some days he can work from home so I have some help, but other days he is gone most of the day and im left with working AND taking care of our daughter (while dealing with the insane pregnancy exhaustion and pain). Add in he has 2-3 days a week where he is gone from 6-10pm taking kung fu classes. To be honest, we aren't having a lot of sex. Its only been a handful of times. Its not that I dont want to, its just I have zero energy by the end of the day, and on the rare occasions I do, sometimes I just want some time to myself because I never get it. There have been multiple times my husband has mentioned that he misses being intimate and having sex. I just feel like that puts pressure on me but then he gets upset when I say that because he insists that's not what he's doing. I dont think he is doing it intentionally, he's not that type of person. Be let's be honest, men will really never know what its like being pregnant. And he's always exhausted after doing the bare minimum. I guess I just wish we could explore other ways to get our intimacy back rather than just talking about how much he misses having sex... anyone else experiencing anything similar? I feel defeated.

I’m in the same boat as you. I work from home full time and take care of our soon to be 2 year old full time he’s gone 6-6 every day and once a week he’s not home until after 9:30. I’m exhausted and meh all the time I’m in a lot of pain. We were having similar issues but I changed my perspective on it. Once we started at least having sex our intimacy outside the bedroom is so much better now too

Has anyone else had issues with their friends that aren't pregnant or have kids?

I have a friend at work and we've become really close over the years. But ever since I become pregnant she just doesn't understand anything I'm going through which is fine except for the fact that the past few days I have been exhausted physically and socially. We have been helping another friend out for about a month now and we've had to keep him entertained as he's going through a rough time right now and it's drained me socially . my friend at work is frustrated because I'm not talking a lot and I'm exhausted and she doesn't understand why and I'm just curious if anybody else has had issues with friends that are not going to the same thing or have gone through the same thing as you connecting with you because she's literally mad at me. She stopped talking to me at work today and I just don't understand what to do.

STD rates and body count

Saw an interesting video and I’d love to hear everyone’s thoughts on this topic!

So std rates are at an all time high as we all know. Do you think the mindset that body count doesn’t matter has contributed to the significant increase of STDs and HIV?

Secondly if someone says that body count doesn’t matter do you believe they are less likely to practice safe sex compared to people who believe in more traditional values?

I can’t put all the combinations in the poll so feel free to comment just yes/no answers

If your partner got a prostitute pregnant and then abandoned the child/ran away, what would be your response? Read…

So you were not in a relationship at the time or were about to be in a relationship, he gets the prostitute pregnant.
It’s her fault for not taking their morning after pill.
He tells her straight up that he’s not going to be involved and that she should terminate it.
She says that she won’t terminate and she hopes that he does stick around

So she deliberately gets pregnant, basically traps him

What would be your reaction?
he’s response is:
“She trapped me and it’s her fault for not taking the pill”
