[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here. Hopefully DHs now chronic stomach pain issues can be treated after his endoscopy in a few weeks. It’s not so much waiting for sex, it’s how he reacts when I express sadness that I miss intimacy. When I say that, he yells and tries to shut me down as I’m crazy for even thinking of it. If he said, “ I’m sorry baby, I miss it too.” I’d just hug him and move on.

I feel like he throws temper tantrums and emotionally abuses me and takes his frustrations out on me. [/quote]

I’m pregnant. I feel awful. I don’t want to have sex. My husband misses intimacy. You know who’s the right person to talk to about how this makes him feel? NOT ME. You’re going through something hard but I guarantee he’s going through something harder. Don’t make him medical condition about your feelings. Get your physical intimacy in ways that work for him (cuddles, kisses, whatever) and deal with being horny. [/quote]

There’s an end in sight for your husband - you will deliver soon enough and heal. Not so for OP - her husband’s issues may or may not resolve. I agree that OP needs to be patient and supportive, but disagree that the topic should be off the table in the foreseeable future. That’s how you lose your connection as partners. [/quote]
