Halp

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.

What are your thoughts? Any fixes for this?

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

Advice

Hi everyone,I feel a bit embarrassed about this, but I’m really struggling financially at the moment and I’m not sure what options I have.

I’m currently on my own with my baby and I don’t really have any support from my baby’s dad. Things are quite tight and it’s getting quite stressful trying to manage everything.

I’m also worried that I may not be able to go back to work after my maternity leave ends because childcare is going to be really difficult to arrange and afford, which is adding to the stress.

I was just wondering if anyone has been in a similar situation and has any advice on what help is available (benefits, grants, childcare support, anything really), or even just ways you managed to make things a bit easier.

Any advice or kind words would really help right now. Thank you 🤍

Waves? Connections?

Im just curious if any one pays for ways and gets better connections? I see so many people saying they want a friend u would think there would be some pretty cool connections? Any one paying and have good connections? Any one not paying and made good friends? How did you navigate and connect with others!

MADE GOOD CONNeCTIONS
Meaning u interact frequently. Get to vent or get advice. Feel like you have a friend.

PARTIALLY
Interact ever so often. Cordial. Feel like you could potentially be friends.

MET IN PERSON
Have actually met up and tried to connect

No CONNECTIONS
Still looking. Maybe interacted and exchanged numbers but still no friendship.

PPA and leave ending

I go back to work on 4/20, I WFH but with my job I have calls all day and I can’t do baby duty and work. My step mom will be taking care of my son while I work which I am so grateful for but the anxious thoughts won’t stop.like what if they get into a car accident, what if she accidentally forgets him in the car, what if he falls or is scared or gets hurt. My brain will not shut off. I’m really struggling but I need my job and I need the help.

Having sex without closing your eyes

Tips on how to have eye contact or just look at your man while having sex I always close my eyes bc I’m just so self conscious like what if my face looks funny, what if my eye looks lazy, mind you this is the only man I’ve had sex with that ever felt like this sometimes I will peak but like I said I’ve only done this with him
