Partner being selfish

Hi, am I in the wrong here please? My partner has in my opinion been extremely selfish these past few weeks, I am 37 weeks pregnant on Saturday and he has been blagging my head for sex but I’m just not up to it recently, after we’ve been out tonight he has just turned around and said “so no sex again tonight” and I’ve just broken down in tears and he’s shown no consideration for my feelings at all, I try and please him as much as I can all the time but I just can’t force myself to be wanting sex at all I just have no interest in it

Definitely not in the wrong!! Does he realise you can’t have sex for at least 6 weeks after? He needs to understand your body and what you’re going through! I’d sit down and properly talk to him about it. I hope you’re ok though!

You’re not wrong, he is being incredibly selfish here. Well done for standing your ground and not allowing yourself to be coerced into it. Would he really be happy knowing you’re having sex with him purely for his enjoyment?! Men 😒

That’s very insensitive of him, your body is doing constant job of making baby safe and all he can think of is sex ? I mean consent is important, he should respect that, he can help himself, it’s not hard! Really need to mature up ! Post baby your body shouldn’t be doing anything for minimum 6 weeks anyway so I hope he has some sense again.

I completely agree with the previous comments. How would he even enjoy sex if you don't want to have sex ? That is twisted... At 37 weeks you cannot move well, your body is going through a lot and you are most probably exhausted. If he can't understand that, that's too bad for him. But you are definitely right to say no if you don't feel like it. You don't owe him intimacy, now or after your baby's born.

Extremely selfish, the way I’d of lost my sh*t if my partner said that to me WOW!! I’d say if you feel able to then have a conversation with him but in all fairness if he’s coming out with things like that I’d be concerned, like above said does he actually feel ok having sex with you if you don’t enjoy it because if so there’s definitely something not right there, not to mention there’s other ways you could provide pleasure if you felt up for it if not he’s got a hand tell him to do it his damn self!! You deserve more than to be made to feel like this 🥰

You’re not in the wrong lovely, it’s so hard! I think I’ve had sex with my hubby successfully like 2-3 times and one huge failed attempt in the last 8 months. I don’t really even have any interest in pleasing him. He makes the odd joke now and again about it but deep down he knows it’s not happening and he’s okay with it. It sounds like your partner doesn’t quite understand how hard pregnancy can be and how wild the hormones are. I hope you’re okay xx
