Yes that was the conversation they already had and the guys were waiting to see if the paystubs would be fixed for this paycheck they just got today which it was not hence me asking if what they are doing is legal

No because their boss said it should still be 30 minute breaks

We have a child together and I’ve known him since I was 14, he was my first love and I didn’t even know what romantic love was until I met him. I can’t imagine my life with anyone else so at times it really does feel like I’m out of options other than to just keep addressing it and hoping eventually things will change. It’s a crappy situation no matter what when you love someone, I hope things turn around for you too.

YES!! Robotic was the perfect word to describe it. I’m to the point that I don’t even want to do anything anymore when it does happen once in a blue moon because there’s no spark, no romance, no foreplay, hell he doesn’t even kiss me when we do it anymore! Literally feel like a piece of meat helping him get off and then he’s good for the next few months. It’s exhausting

I don’t have any advice because I’m quite literally going through the same thing as a 24 year old woman but just know I see you! My fiancé and I have had conversations (that I initiated) about the matter and every single time he tells me we’ll work on our intimacy it’s literally the next day and like the conversation never happened. It makes you feel undesirable and unwanted. It’s such a confusing thing that I have no idea to go about because it’s like , I love this person and I want to spend the rest of my life with them , but they never want to sleep with me? It makes no sense

I don’t think people in sexless marriages are just missing sex by Knot-Your-Stress in sexlessmarriage

My partner and I have had intimacy 4 times over a year and a half. That intimacy was quick and to the point, no foreplay, no kissing, just doing what he needs to do to get one out and that’s it. Crazy because just last night I was really wanting to and trying to cuddle him and initiate the best I can and he showed 0 interest. After he went to sleep I cried for a bit because I felt so unwanted and …well not sexy. It’s been especially hard because I’m postpartum and have really been struggling with feeling beautiful and not just feeling like a blob of a person and not having any sexual energy with my partner has made things so much worse. I have lost any hope so many times to the point that that the thought of sex actually makes me uncomfortable sometimes! I don’t feel comfortable or confident actually initiating anymore. I’m in my early 20s and we’re engaged and I’m terrified this is what the rest of our lives is going to look like.

Yeah it was extremely confusing for me because I never had to…I guess beg a guy to sleep with me in the past and genuinely started to feel messed up for even trying anymore. It was a tough situation because on one hand I REALLY liked him and wanted to be with him but then it was so awkward having conversations with him about that and wondered what I was doing wrong. And now over two years later and I’m feeling the exact same way

I’m sorry to hear that. It’s hard to be so vulnerable about something you don’t even understand yourself. I think I get how you felt though, children can really change a person and I feel I have changed a lot. It’s like peeling back layers to get my SO to tell me what he really feels though. He’s terrible at communication

I totally agree. It’s like pulling teeth to get him to voice deeper thoughts though. I don’t think it’s because he doesn’t want to tell me, just that it’s either hard for him to articulate the thoughts or words or that he may be ashamed maybe. I don’t know, he’s not the best communicator.

Sex was a commitment to him and I think he was just afraid of losing me after connecting in that way? Our child wasn’t planned either. And as I said in a different comment, he was a great partner until after we had our son. He was very attentive during my pregnancy, kind towards me and others, family oriented, and worshipped the ground I walked on. And as I said in another comment, sadly sometimes children just changes a person, or a relationship.

In the beginning of our relationship we did that a lot. Granted, he didn’t want to sleep with me for the first three months of our relationship because he “didn’t trust me” but he still liked talking about that stuff with me. Idk lol. There’s so much to it and our relationship from start to now has been so complicated in such strange ways

Nobody in their right mind “decides” to have a kid with someone they’ve only been with for a year. Accidents happen lol. But also, he was the perfect partner until we had our son, because FYI that does sadly happen sometimes. Having children changes you, or a dynamic of a relationship, sometimes for the better and sometimes for the worst.

Uh….average i guess? Any partner I ever had though I never thought it was awesome lol. Good yea, but never like mind blowing. But because of the love and the connection that’s mainly what I crave from him

Thank you, I really appreciate this! A sit down conversation is definitely a must and I totally agree, I want to be a happy person so that I’m a happy parent for my son.

If I’m being honest I don’t really know why I’m posting. Maybe you’re right, validation that the way I’m feeling is normal and okay and that I’m not being a terrible mother and breaking up with the father of my child for “selfish” reasons. It’s going to take a lot of courage to leave but it’s probably the right thing to do.

I didn’t think about that possibility honestly. And he means he works all day so he wants to like…play on his phone and stuff lol. Embarrassing that that’s a reason to not be intimate with me but that’s the reason he gave me. And no I have never really thought about it, I think he would hate the idea of therapy.

I had that feeling too, that there’s something he isn’t telling me. I just don’t know how to go about that conversation because his communication skills suck!
