intimate-less

So my boyfriend and i are expecting our first baby boy together in july, and im high risk for preterm labor, meaning no sex. However, i still want to be intimate with him when possible, like kissing and cuddling and such, but he seems to never be serious about either. Ill try and cuddle and he'll tickle me, or ill try and kiss him and he'll do something annoying like lick my face or start making fishy noises. It used to be cute when he only did it on occausion, but now i cant kiss or even cuddle with him without him doing this stuff! Ill ask him to kiss me seriously or to cuddle with me but he never will be serious about it, and it makes my hormonal self want to cry:( it doesnt even seem like he even likes kissing me anymore, and when ive asked him he just rolls his eyes and scoffs and tells me im being silly:( but it really bugs me..

Dont take this personally.I too was high risk&it was incredibly painful to be intimate for most of my pregnancy.My husband was like urs kind,patient etc. u should b happy he isnt being a jerk honestly.For most men the goal is to have sex so he may not want to start when he cant finish.He isnt pushing u away he is trying lighten the moment.After u have the baby u cant b intimate for6weeks after that Im sure u will get back n the swing of things.He seems like he is taking rhe nicest approach he can to not getting all worked up with no where to go.Relax.talk to him ask him whats going on

Maybe He would like/want/need more Intimacy than Hugging, Cuddling, and Kissing and He's trying to avoid those things ONLY because it would be a struggle not to take it "further". Not having that "Completeness" is probably difficult for Him as well.  I think He Loves You Very Much and He's working the best He can with a difficult situation.
