Does anyone else CRINGE at the thought of having sex with their husband?

Dont get me wrong, the sex is great. He’s an attractive guy but for whatever reason when he brings up sex, or I think about initiating it, I get the ick. I’m not sure if it’s from the lack of emotional intimacy, or not feeling well cared for? Has anyone experienced this and had any success fixing it?

Yes. I have for a few years now and recently I haven't even been enjoying the sex when we do. He's very attractive but we haven't been getting along for a while now. It's not like I even want to have sex with someone else either so idk if its me or our relationship.

Yes… but I also am a late in life lesbian now… soooo… 🤷🏻

Yes you need to connect emotionally more to fix this. And pray God changes him in Jesus name

I think it’s the lack of emotional support and connection. Intimacy is more emotional than sexual. I hate the idea of having sex with my husband because I have a lot of anger towards him because I wasn’t treated properly postpartum. I don’t think I’ll be able to have sex with him until we get some marriage counseling and sort out these issues

I’ve had that feeling. Definitely more now since being pregnant with #2. But I have acknowledged that it’s more emotional and not getting that support. It’s been a month of him actively trying to work on it. That it’s not as strong as it was. When it started.

@Mia so happy for you that your partner is trying to work on the situation 🤍 I hope it gets better for you soon

Well that’s not good at all

Yeah I get that. He’s amazing dad and husband but whenever he tries to start something I’m just like, I’m not in the mood to do anything, you’re basically kissing a rock rn 😅

I think you're guess about the lack of emotional intimacy would be the cause

Yes ! It absolutely is a lack of not getting the emotional intimacy & support you need.This is how most women are wired .Oh and Especially when the guy is pretty good looking and/or have great sex they feel like that's all you'll need in life is the bills paid,a little attention & some lackluster sex and that's it from them and that's the absolute furthest from the truth as can be! 🙅🏾‍♀️

Going through this right now. Non-sexual touch and little kisses are fine as long as I'm not feeling touched out by having our baby cling to me all day. But any sexual touch, comment, or joke makes my skin crawl. I've started drinking to get myself in the mood because I don't want him to feel totally neglected, but it's a 50/50 if that'll even work
