falling apart

I put up a post recently about wanting nothing to do with my boyfriend. No sex, hugs, kisses, nothing. Which i was already told is normal. Well he was somewhat understanding before but thats over with. We have been fighting and hes been basically forcing me to show him affection which is just horrible for me. I try explaining to him how i feel but everytime i try it sounds terrible and he takes it as i dont like him and that im not attracted to him. Things just keep getting worse. I really need some good advice.

I had the same problem.with my first pregnancy my husband was not happy at all due to lack of affection I decided if I wanted our relationship to continue then I was gunna have to compromise and it ended up with more oral foreplay then sex cuz it just wasn't comfortable for us to have sex.

Your hormones are differnt so even if u have no feelings for him he still has feelings for you.  You need to show him affection even though its tough for you.  You wouldnt want him to think you are not in love with him anymore.  Just think if you werent preg and he showed you no feelings toward you how would you feel?

We have sex now about once a week. But its not enough for him. I try to be understanding but im just having such a hard time. I love him and i want to be with him. I just...havent "liked" him for the past month or so. I was never like this before.

I dont have the energy for sex. And when we do have sex Im like Oh my Gosh...This is what Ive been missing. I love hugging on my husband and showing him affection be it giving him a massage after a 15hr work day or just rubbing his feet after dinner. I feel bad that you feel this way because you should be happy right now. Is it your pregnancy and all that or are you just annoyed by him? Im not trying to be mean just asking.

Honestly I've been feeling the same way. Sex is uncomfortable and can be painful,  but it's also a two way street. I don't feel right just saying no all the time. Maybe come to a compromise and have sex once a week. My partner was feeling like that and he didn't understand either. Think about how you would feel if he didn't want u all of a sudden he  didn't want you. Either that or talk to him explain how you feel and that it's painful and maybe find other ways to be intimate.
