My husband is literally slow when it comes to making moves in the bedroom.
He had a long term gf before me who was his ex wife. It seems he got on with her 3x a week. With me it’s less than 1x a week. It’s once a week if we are lucky. He hardly ever initiates and it’s always me on top. He barely ever goes down on me but I have gone down on him several times.
Lately, I’ve been so bored with our sex life in general. I don’t understand how someone can have a partner and not want to have sex with them. If I initiate, he’s more likely to turn me down now more than ever because I’m pregnant in the third trimester. He perhaps doesn’t feel attracted to me. I’m nearly 35 weeks pregnant.
He keeps saying he will work out more and it’s all about testosterone and the blood flow for him. Blood flow needed to get hard and maintain an erection. But he doesn’t have any issues getting himself off with his hands. He fondles me and gets himself off just fine. He does that often, and sometimes does prefer that to having sex with me. I don’t want sex to feel like a chore. When we did have sex, it was always me on top of him.
I don’t feel cared for in the bedroom. Like my needs are not being met. It’s getting really boring and frustrating really. Not that I mind. I just don’t understand why he’d want to be with someone if he doesn’t want to have sex with them. He expects me to initiate all the time I guess. This has gotten a bit much for me. I’m not the kind of woman who’d initiate 3x a week.
Don’t get me wrong, 😑 he’s an excellent husband besides this. But I’m starting to think there could be more to him than meets the eye. For instance, he may be bisexual or what if he’s gay?!
The reason why I say this, is because early on when we started dating he’s said things like he thought fisting was pleasurable for women and offered to fist me. I was so taken aback because I thought he was trying to make fun of me. I saw it being a bit of a fringe activity. I was afraid of it (tell me why wouldn’t I be afraid of being rough housed with a grown man’s fist inside me) and saw it as a bit taboo. He likely grew a bit annoyed with me at that because from his perspective, I couldn’t keep an open mind. I was used to a chauvinistic, very dominant man before him. He was so dominant that he’d just take me anytime, even without consent. So this style of being was very new to me and took me by surprise.
But anyway, I do see him as a bit asexual with me. I’m afraid he’s either not into me, or not into sex in general, or he either swings differently (could he be secretly bi?!). I’m a bit worried about that, particularly because I’m straight as nails and I don’t see myself being with someone bi. This is something I’m worried about as I gestate his child.

You guys just need a conversation of common ground for you both , I find in these situations honesty is best policy I’ve been married for a while and trust we have had to have a hard conversation like that but we both ended up way happier and needs met
I’m just gonna jump straight to the point lol. I want to find friends I can makeout with. Girl friends. I’m in a loveless marriage I don’t want to get a divorce but I’m literally dying inside without someone to pour my cuddling and kissing needs into. I guess I just want to know if there’s any other moms out there that have successfully found a deep friendship with another woman that they were able to bring to the next level without actually having sex.

I don't understand. I've done nct course, didn't click with any of the mums, im doing swimming classes with the baby for 4 months, im doing baby activity classes for the past 2 months.... LO is 8 months old. Like today, 3 new mums, plus me, all had a great chat, class was over and I went on to help to clean up just to return and see the girls exchange phone numbers but none of them asked mine. I smiled and said goodbyes but I was left with this very bitter feelings. All these activities I am the only foreign mum. Everyone else is british. My english is very good. I'm polite. Kind. Happy person. I just don't understand. Have you ever come across situation like this?

Anyone got a male partner with low sex drive? Feels very rare and lonely to navigate as men usually are these horny rabbits.
Just wondering if anyone has any experience or advise with this?
I am currently pregnant and our relationship has been on the rocks but the sex life has been poor for a few years.

Honestly feeling so alone in this season of motherhood. I don’t have a friend close enough where I can just call to have company, or to talk to about things I’m currently going through and honestly it feels really lonely. All my friends are childless travelling the world, partying etc and I’m currently pregnant with my third. I find it hard to connect with other mums tbh and I don’t know why.
