If I heard the video correctly she told him early after marriage that she NEVER liked sex and “tolerated it” in order to get a marriage commitment. That’s a completely different perspective than “lying about it in order for her to get him to leave her alone while pregnant”. I can actually understand AND empathize with the pregnant wife scenario. It’s just getting really old with the number of female commentators that want to pile on the man and shame him for wanting sexually intimacy. They BOTH bear responsibility. HE needs to be empathetic. SHE needs to see a doctor and find out why sex “hurts” because that is not normal. HE needs to be willing to spend time looking at the stars. SHE needs to participate in counseling like he initiated.

Painful sex can be a huge red flag for severe issues. My wife had a similar issue. Had a fibroid cyst, had it removed. They identified some other abnormalities.

Luckily, we caught things early, or she would be in much worse shape. 35% survivability past 5 years for this type of cancer. We are going to be in that 35%. My understanding is she will need to be on treatments the rest of her life to hopefully keep it at bay.

I no longer know this man, I lay in bed at night next to a stranger after wrestling the kids and work all day.. day after day.. I don’t want to make love to a stranger, my body does not relax next to this stranger. When he rolls over to initiate I cringe. In that moment I do not want to have sex the only thing my body wants is to lay and look at the stars and reconnect with the beautiful soul I knew 10 years ago. That’s what she’s trying to say.

[@victoriamacaluso5726]

Many people in the comments are missing/forgetting the fact that she didn't enjoy it PRIOR to marriage, which also means prior to having a baby. The avoidance of talking about herself + pain during sex is a red flag to both medical issues and mental health issues, namely likely at risk of having been sexually abused, especially if her parents had her at bars until 2am and driving them home at 6 y/o. I can almost guarantee more than that has happened to her given that context.

[@mle011]

I wonder if she’s was breastfeeding too. When I was breastfeeding/pumping, my sex drive was zero. It wasn’t until I started ovulating again 9 months post-partum that I actually had a drive again. If this woman is the same, and she got pregnant just a few months after her period returning, she may have also had a low sex drive for the past 1-2 years because of these hormone levels. That, in combination with a partner who won’t listen to her (driving out to look at stars), does no foreplay, makes everything about him (*i* want sex, not “how can I make sex enjoyable for her?”), and who is probably terrible at sex (no orgasm for her)…..what’s the point? Of course she wouldn’t want sex with him. It’s just another chore.

[@tanyamilewski5700]

If she hates it it doesn’t feel good for her so it’s boring to constantly have to offer your body as a tool for this non enjoyable chore. It’s like your toddlers wanting to climb all over you when you are trying to take a minute use the bathroom. You feel like your body is not yours because you are not invested in whatever is going on but your body is needed . You love your kids dearly but that particular attention for that minute you can do without. Key is figuring out why she isn’t enjoying it. There are other reasons but one major one especially for inexperienced women is insufficient foreplay. That’s seems likely here also because the husband can’t be bothered to try what she thinks will work so he probably doesn’t have patience for foreplay either. If she has never experienced it with anyone else she probably doesn’t know how it can be and just concludes she hates it or it’s not her thing. Just having 2 or 3 people can expose you to different personalities and different experience levels so you know how it can be versus how it is and bridge that gap

[@Lauren-i8i]

The Wife doesn’t need to have an affair to ‘bridge that gap.’ Her Husband can learn how to give her what she needs if he will just HEAR her when she makes a request. He can Man Up and learn how to help her have an orgasm so sex is mutually satisfying and not just another arduous chore. But he must change things both inside AND outside the bedroom for this to work. He can do this by searching online for direction - (the one thing MOST men will never do - ASK for help! 🤣) ❤

How much do you help around the house? Do get home from work, sit in the bathroom for a hour, then sit somewhere ignoring her and any responsibilities all night? Do you only pay attention to her when you want sex? Do you treat her like she's your maid, housekeeper, cook, and nanny or do you treat her like your wife you desire to love and cherish? Just some questions to think about. She's pregnant and that makes you tired. Try washing the dishes or taking out the trash and then giving a child free break and see what happens.

[@sc7453]

So when she’s not pregnant, does she mow the lawn, shovel the driveway, maintain the vehicles, clean up the dog poop in the yard, fix everything around the house? I get tired reading complaints from women (not during pregnancy of course) that they are angry their man doesn’t help with the house chores. It’s like all the other stuff gets done by magic elves. I’ve always lived alone so I do it all. Throwing dishes in the dishwasher, laundry in the dryer, and picking up groceries really isn’t that big of a deal. Not any more difficult than the other “man chores” I listed that also tend to go unnoticed, but men typically don’t complain about it or hold resentment if their wife isn’t outside in freezing weather with a snow shovel!

@ sc7453 Most of those things are not daily tasks and running a household is much more than a once couple times a week chore.

[@sc7453]

@@elleelle7200 I have no more “mental load” throwing a load of laundry into the wash than I do mowing the lawn. There are several videos out there that show what a disaster it is when husband and wife share ALL chores 100 percent equally. They end with the woman in tears trying to start the push mower and mow in 100 degree weather, shovel a few tons of rock for the landscaping, shovel the driveway in -30 degree Fahrenheit weather with a 40 mph wind. The reality is that men are just expected to keep up on all these things without acknowledgment AND do half the housework. I never hear husbands whining and complaining that their wife won’t pitch in on an exhausting physical, dirty, job (they’ll usually call a male buddy to help with the project) yet women get angry and resentful when the shoe is on the other foot. Yes, the big jobs are not needed as often as the small ones but I will happily do a hundred loads of laundry and years worth of grocery shopping if she does a tear off and reshingle of the roof, or dig up the old septic system, or maintain the yard and driveway for the year. Every woman I have asked about this would gladly stay with the house chores instead.

I don't think she hates having sex. I think her marriage isn't what she thought it would be. She has a 15 month old baby and another baby on the way. Please "people" space your children atleast 2 years apart. It takes a year minimum for a woman's body to recover from child birth. She's exhausted!!!! Listening to her husband speak, it's obvious their relationship is completely devoid of romance. Seduction begins in the mind fellas!!! He probably doesn't know anything about foreplay which is why sex might be painful. Hire a housekeeper to deep clean the house and do all the laundry. Hire a babysitter and maybe alternate by having grandparents or trusted adults watch the baby. Arrange for her to spend a day visiting her friends or just doing whatever she wants for herself. Allow her to sleep-in while you take the baby to the park. Show affection without initiating sex. Why haven't you taken her for a long drive at night to go see the stars?(It's cheap, easy, and very romantic) Hell, make it an event rent a beautiful cabin for the weekend. Go for long walks in the woods, chop wood, and roast marshmallows and make smores. Wrap her up in a blanket and stare into the fire and talk "dream outloud."
