No interest in intimacy

@Katherine I don’t know why it makes me want to cry, but thinking about it stresses me out for some reason and I cry when I’m stressed 😅
Lol. Maybe you want to cry to bc you're so tired or overtouched or overwhelmed you can't even imagine being physical with your husband! Go slow and at your own pace. But from my experience it's one of those things that doesn't get better on its own, you have to just push through it and try...and once you get over the hump it can be nice again 😀
I didn't want sex throughout the pregnancy and this desire came back only after giving birth. I think it's normal and depends on the woman's hormonal background.
I understand completely. I’m in the same boat. I’ve had to push myself a bit and have the conversation with my husband that I’m not ready for sex but we can be intimate in other ways and to please be patient with me. But I agree with Katherine, I’ve had to push myself to be physical with my husband. Not because I don’t love him or am not attracted to him, I just have so much on my mind it’s hard to relax. Music helps a lot for us!
You have to really work for it. Limited sleep, body changes, pain, stress... all leads to reduced intimacy. I don't think these issues go away once you have children and you have to make it a point to push yourself a bit for the sake of your marriage, otherwise you just turn into glorified roommates. But it's tough. So tough. Why does it make you want to cry?
