Q: Do not need sex...

My sex drive has been low since the first trimester. I do not need sex at all. But me and my boyfriend have sex once every 14 day. Not even because I want to, but mostly for keep our sexlife alive. I do not know what to do. I am scared that he will be cheating if he will not get enough. But the problem is that I really do not want to have sex. My vagina became irritated last time we did it and became itchy in the middle of the act. And then I felt a need to pie...

I have no desire for sex. I think my husband has accepted it. he knows it will change, this is our third.
My concern about your question, is that you worry he will cheat. That never had crossed my mind.

If there is anything you and your boyfriend need to talk about , it is your fear of him cheating.

I had no drive for a while now. My boyfriend (yes we are not married yet) and I RARELY have sex now but we talk about it and I sometimes ask if its a problem. I trust him to tell me if it IS a problem. I make sure I explain why I dont feel like it (tired, achey etc) There always seems to be an excuse for me lol. Theres not one bone in my body that thinks he may cheat. So my advice is, be open and talk to each other about it, This pregnancy is something you are both going through. :) Good Luck lovey!

Seriously member you don't need to be married to be in a strong committed relationship, who are you to put labels on other people.
I'm not married, and really have no inclination to, but that doesn't mean I am any less committed to my partner.
You have values from the 1940s, wake up will ya were living in 2013, it's none of your business wether this woman is married or not!!!!.
Sorry loveinme, I had a little rant then lol.
Think most women in the first trimester, don't feel like sex, I can't keep my eyes open long enough to do anything.
Also your pregnant your hormones are all over the place, that's prob why you feel a little insecure, I'm sure it's not a thought that goes through your head all the time, good luck. :)

it certainly will be an adjustment for him, but he should be able to control himself! If he truly loves and respects you, he'll understand. I'm sure he can handle business on his own if it comes down to it! haha!

I think that I am thinking about it more than he does. I have no reason to think that he will cheat on me, but we always had so much sex and now it is weird not to have as much. In next week we will become a husband and wife :) so he is happy, but can he keep being happy without or less frequent sex in the next few month...

Throughout my pregnancy I wld have massive bouts of raging "hornyness" lol and then I would have nothing for weeks, so at times I wore my poor husband out and at other times, even for weeks at a time he wld get nothing. I have found in the third trimester I haven't been anywhere near as interested but when I am, it's to uncomfortable and awkward anyway, when my husband complained, I happily reminded I'm that I didn't fall pregnant on my own, and his not the only one that is frustrated, I also reminded him that his lucky that sex is the only thing he has to deal with. I even offered a few times if he wld carry our child for a few hours I would be happy to do something else! Lol

I was the same way for first and second trimester. I just started my 3rd trimester and its done a 180! Finally! I would do it occasionally so he didn't feel bad but now I don't mind it. Tell him to hang in there. This isn't forever. If lack of sex is his only discomfort through this pregnancy he should feel lucky compared to what you have to go through!!

I have the same super low sex drive problem. I talked to my husband about it, and we're doing OK with it but I know its frustrating to him. I mean, its frustrating to me but everything about sex is so uncomfortable right now.

If you would even think he MIGHT cheat, that's a problem. I'm sorry to say this but, this is why relationships between partners needs to be SOLID before having babies.....and yes, that's means marriage. Yes, that means being grown-up and an adult.....not a boyfriend/girlfriend relationship. Have you two talked marriage? Does he want to get married? If so, I don't think you should be worried about cheating.
