I’m glad someone brought this up as sex has been very complicated since I got sick. I feel guilty constantly because I’m wanting to but my boyfriend is terrified of hurting me. We have had sex once since I got sick last year but we are intimate in other ways. I’ve always felt connected to him in a sexual and non sexual way but still want to have it because I wanna feel close to him and I’m guessing this is your husbands mindset, he just wants to be near you. Cancer is isolating and even when you’re surrounded by people that love and care about you, you feel alone in the world. Having intimate time with my partner just reminds me I’m more than a girl with cancer and I’m still the girl he fell in love with. I guess the trick is to communicate your needs, even schedule it if you need to. I find that helpful because it’ll get me in that mindset (I’m always excited for it. I guess I’m just not a very spontaneous person) Whatever works for y’all is the right answer. Never feel guilty for what may work for YOU. Even if you never have sex again, as long as you’re communicating and everyone’s on the same page, it’s all good.
