I don't want to have sex because I can't bear for anyone to see me naked and I don't feel sexy in the slightest.
My husband has done nothing to make me feel bad – it's all about how I feel about myself. The other night, we were in bed after having a great evening – we'd been out with a few friends – and he started making some moves. But I pulled away from him and switched off the light.
For the first time, he got annoyed and said: "What's the problem? This has to stop. Don't you like me any more?" The thing is, I do find him very attractive – that hasn't changed. He's fit and handsome , and I know I'm lucky to have such a great partner, but it doesn't change how I feel.
It doesn't help that I'm also exhausted most of the time, looking after a toddler , so don't feel like exercising, and any kind of self-care is right at the bottom of the list. I know I'm in a rut. I just don't know how to get myself out of it.
I'd love some advice. Get the latest news sent straight to your messages by joining our WhatsApp community today. You'll receive daily u.
