Am I the only one?

Does anyone else struggle with not wanting to have sex anymore? Like, I just don’t care about it and I feel so bad for my husband.. I’ve never felt like this ever and was the complete opposite before… I just feel like it isn’t necessary and other things are more important. I still love being affectionate and cuddly but also find it not happening as much.. I love him so much and feel like I’m being selfish because sometimes he tries but I always tell him I’m not in the mood. He then tells me,”it’s okay, I’m not in a rush” when I shut him down. It’s been almost a year since we have been sexually active.. please tell me I’m not the only one. :/

Yep I’m with you 💯 Literally no drive at all 🥲 it’s not been a year, I do try, but I honestly could leave it if he wasn’t bothered.

Breastfeeding can be a reason to not be in the mood. Due to a dip in estrogen levels. But if not, it's also okay and normal. A child can definitely put a damper on wanting to get it on 😅 Women aren't hardwired that way..

You're not the only one. I am just always too tired. It annoys me when he even tries to initiate anything as well & I move his hand away.

I have the nexplanon birth control implant and since I’ve had it I struggle with wanting to have sex. It’s definitely frustrating when I used to be so affectionate and active.

You are not the only one. I’ve been dealing with this for over a year. I have to mentally prepare myself for sex beforehand. And I dont really think about sex much if at all. I’ve been to a few doctors and am trying to find a better solution because I really just don’t want to have sex but I know my partner does.

Been dealing a little bit with this lately. I think I’ve noticed when I busy myself too much in the day, not only am I just too tired by the end of the day, but it really is adding too much on my plate for the day when my husband then wants to do it. Which I think is selfish of me and I am currently readjusting that bc I know sex is important in a healthy marriage. I definitely can’t say it’s been as long as a year, but even a week for us without it affects some areas in HIS life so it’s really not about us as women, it’s about our partners as much as it is us. I encourage you to dig deeper than yourself, truly figure out why you might be feeling this way and remember it’s not just about you!

We should have a group chat for this and discuss :))
