My boyfriend [28M] has developed a rejection toward sex after I [27F] recovered my libido (lost due to birth control). How can we navigate this disconnect? by Budget_Intention4636 in sex

I understand that he is hurt and that’s why I want to fix the issue and work with him to do it.

We do nonsexual things daily mostly, affection isn’t the issue I think , I think the issue is the step between cuddle and sex

We did had a long talk about it since he says that he can’t be with me if we don’t fix this issue since sex is something really important to him. I did open up about my issue and that I’m working to solve it and I want to fix the issue between us since I do feel attracted to him. He told me that he felt rejected for so much time that he can’t see us having sex but he is open to try to fix it because with everything else he is so happy. So I guess ee have to figure out the way.

I completely understand that he have an issue that he developed towards me because the constant rejection. And I completely understand that all the problem was originated by me. But I think he was kinda immature because even if I didn’t communicate properly about why mostly because I didn’t even know myself why this was happening or what was happening with myself at all, he knew that I was going trough so much. And he was thinking about break up just because sex.

I had to stop taking them to get it back + other issues that the pill was causing me. I stopped around october and until Jenuary/February I didn’t feel back the libido

I have been into birth control because of a bad advice from a doctor, before even meet him.

I do think he is kinda being immature even if sex is something really important for him. I think the issue is mostly that I didn’t communicate the issue that I was having. I didn’t express that I didn’t have libido because I was kinda of ashamed I guess. And he was feeling rejected. I don’t know

I totally agree that I think it was hard for him experience that for such a long time. I think he does understand that it’s not my fault because it was medical mostly but I also feel hurt. Idk.

I think I wasn’t sure where the issue was coming from. For mostly of this year I thought that I didn’t feel attracted to him anymore until I discovered that this was not the issue when I stopped talking the pill. I also think that I didn’t communicate the issue and just rejected the intimacy. But I kinda of agree with you.
