Pregnancy is a period filled with questions, changes and discoveries for a couple, whether for the one carrying the child or for the person with whom they share their life. It was in the midst of all these changes that a young woman approaching thirty decided to seek advice from the Sun’s famous Dear Deidre column. Seven months pregnant, she shares a reaction from his companionwith whom she has been for three years, who frustrates her as much as worries her.
“I am seven months pregnant but I often feel excited. Only my partner has clearly distanced himself” begins by explaining the young woman. She specifies that the couple is very happy together, and above all that they have both looking forward to their family growing. “We’re both excited for our first child to be born, but I’m really frustrated with our lack of intimacy.” she confides.
He refuses to sleep with his pregnant partner
Only problem: as soon as the young woman approaches her companion to make him understand that she wants them to sleep together, the latter does not not at all the expected reaction. “We last slept together two months ago, and even then I felt he was a little reluctant. Now when I tell him that I really need physical contact, he’s convinced I’m joking “.
And nothing helps since the young pregnant woman has indeed tried to explain thatshe couldn’t be more serious in expressing her desires. “I tried to talk to him several times, but he doesn’t want to believe me.”. But his miseries do not end there. “I’ve caught him going on porn sites several times, I feel so stupid. I really don’t look like the women on these sites and I keep wondering if I’m disgusting him“.
The idea of sleeping with a pregnant woman is scary
Faced with this, the head of the advice section emphasizes that it is very common for the companion of a pregnant woman to have
difficulty seeing one’s partner as both a mother and a desirable woman. “In society people have a hard time admitting that it’s completely normal to sleep with a woman when she’s pregnant, so the idea scares most people“. There is also the question of the fetus and the fear of hurting it during intercourse, even if this fear is completely unfounded since the future child risks nothing. In all cases, communication remains the best solution in order to know what really bothers the partner of the pregnant woman in this situation.
