My boyfriend refuses to touch me at all since our daughter was born 8months ago. We have sex ONCE a month when he can't sleep, but it's just in and out. No foreplay or touch. He also doesn't touch me in any other way. Nothing. Is this normal?

We don’t have sex often, but we still hug, cuddle & stuff. Love languages are something we discuss often. Physical touch/affection sounds like your love language, but it may not be your boyfriend’s. I would recommend discussing that with him, finding out what his are & let him know what yours are. I’m sorry you’re going through this. How long have you been together? Does he show affection in other ways, like complimenting you or telling you he loves you, etc?

If you were my friend and I’m going to give you advice as if you were. Sometime we need to see the flags and RUN! If you are in a relationship with someone who you have expressed your wants and he refuses to do so, LEAVE. Yes it’s easier said than done but this is not how a loving relationship functions. We have to recognize when a man doesn’t really like us and just are with us for convenience. I relate to this same scenario and i accepted it for about 5 years and then one day i was tired of the one sided sex, being touched when he wanted sex, having see when he wanted sex. You deserve better and what made me leave the most because i didn’t want my daughter to think this is what love was. I was done being a girlfriend after 5 years and i left to find my husband. I wish you the best, but sometimes you have to be brutally honest with yourself. This is not okay and this is not love.
