Has anyone been in this situation?

Get exciting! You got this

Maybe heā€™s gay and doesnā€™t know it. But he might need to see a Dr to rule out other things. As for you focus on being healthy mind body and soul. Eat right, exercise, meditate.

Girl, u know whatā€¦ as much u longing and needing, just love yourselfā€¦ be a mom to your kid/s and LOVE YOURSELF.
ok, he told u exactly how he feelsā€¦show him that u will accept that, make/dress urself sexier at homeā€¦take pride in being YOU. and whether he comes around or not with the way he feels, you will surely be content with it bcoz u will have confidence in urself and by not pressuring him into changing the way he feels about you, will hopefully make him wonder and want uā€¦

The symptoms of a porn addiction.

Dang I donā€™t understand young people. How you gonna have a baby with a woman and then, BAM, no more intimacy?!?!? Thatā€™s on him! Heā€™s getting off to porn, so it ainā€™t broke! Iā€™d be mad. Love isnā€™t like that. If youā€™re bound & determined to stay, make him get help. He probably has an addiction to porn. Just calling it like I see it.

Listen to yourself talk. This man is a selfish pig. You are probably a large part of his financial well being. Of course he stays with you! He has to!

The relationship isnā€™t healthy anymore. All itā€™s going to do is bring you down. Iā€™m not going to throw the assumption that he is seeing someone else, but in my personal experience - that deemed true.

Iā€™d leave. Or get him to. Itā€™s not healthy for you, or yā€™allā€™s child to be in a ā€œheavyā€ environment like that. Youā€™re now lacking self esteem and feeling insecure when itā€™s not you at all.
Build yourself back up and find the happiness within. Let him go. The idiot will either miraculously be sexually attracted to you again the moment he realizes he is losing you, or someone will come into your life and love you through EVERYTHING.

Never give more than you can. If your partner is constantly only giving 20% and youā€™re trying to constantly fill his glass, then youā€™re draining your own going to his level.

Communicating both ways about it, and lots of support and reassurance together, find other ways to solidify yas relationship

Take care of yourself Sexuallyā€¦ it sounds like heā€™s conditioned his brain to pornā€¦ its too easy to doā€¦ (just trust me) either way its 3 options. Split or do it yourself or watch it togetherā€¦ also donā€™t frown upon him as in the age of technology itā€™s too easy for this happenā€¦ Iā€™ve seen it several times among friends. They werenā€™t pigs, or trash, or bad people, they had just conditioned their minds to certain pornā€¦ donā€™t hate him. But also you donā€™t have to stay. There are options. :heart: good luck sis.

It would be over for me. Yes I can say that confidentially because I will not tolerate any less than I deserve. Leaving is so scary but NEVER let anyone treat you any kind of way.

Some men struggle like that after youā€™re their childs mother. Itā€™s a psychological thing. If you really love him you will be willing to stay and work this area out with him. Sex does not equal love. ATTRACTION does not equal love. Yes they add like frosting on a cake but you might not physically be able to have sex at some point in your life. Or he may not be attractive to you at some point and then what have you got NOTHING. Relationships are hard workā€¦let me scream it to the ones in the back RELATIONSHIPS ARE HARD WORK. ā€¦if a person doesnā€™t want to work than they donā€™t truly want a relationship they want a fling. Just my 2 cents

Get out. Make yourself and your kids happy.

Could be hormone related or if he has any kind of trauma, sex repulsion is a real thing that comes in waves both me and my SO go through it and some times we line up and sometimes we donā€™t. So many of these comments are why men are afraid to express their emotions smh.

If he really wants to work on things, will you guys do couples therapy?

Have you had an extreme change in your appearance? I know most people will feed you the bs lineā€ well if he loves you he should love you no matter whatā€ but thatā€™s not it. If I was with a man that looked a certain way and as we continued dating he made a drastic change in the not so appealing side Iā€™d know I love him but not be sexually attracted. So with that being said if it is that why not try to dress up some, exercise, do things you did when yā€™all first started, I believe that will help the relationship. Just a suggestion, good luck and God blessā¤ļø

Both of you should go to marriage counseling together & try to figure out why he feels this way. If you both love each other then itā€™s worth a try. Also he may have erectile disfunction which is common in many men. He could also have emotional or mental issues that can be resolved. Together yā€™all can figure it out through counseling. If he refuses to go then he obviously isnā€™t that interested in fixing the big problem in your marriage. In that case you go to counseling by yourself & decide what route is best to take for you & your family. A counselor can help you with your self esteem & also a realistic approach to whatā€™s truly important to you in your marriage & what is not.

He probably watches a lot of porn. If he gave that up it would make a difference.

Go to counseling and stop the porn and masturbating right away. He is fulfilling his physical needs with mastemasturbating and having unrealistic ideas through watching porn. He might be unconsciously not able to see you as a sexual partner now that he sees you as a mother and counseling will address that.

Sounds gay he wanted a baby and got it and now is done with you sorry thatā€™s what it sounds like.

Have him get checked by a Dr and if there is something wrong then no heā€™s not a loser or a pig because he canā€™t help it. If there is nothing wrong then he truly is not attractive to you in a sexual way but he can still love you and he is telling you and it might be the truth. But he needs to go see a doctor

Look into porn addiction and what it can do to guys

Something isnt right here. If hes only into porn that could be a reason. Porn addiction can lead to erectile dysfunction and before anyone comes at me look it up. Sounds like he may be in this boat. He needs therapy and needs to take a break from porn.

Get him to go to therapy so he can find the root of the problem. Also lab work. Sounds like he loves you. Men donā€™t just stay and go without sex if they donā€™t care.

Omg all these comments :pleading_face:
See a doctor and also a sex therapist. People have plenty of hormonal or trauma related reasons that can absolutely kill a sex drive. It doesnā€™t have anything to do with the loss of love sometimes.

He should see a Dr., you can also try and spice up things, flirt with him, wear sexy PJs to bed, and if all else fails then buy yourself a vibrator and use it in front of him, if nothing works then you have to sit down and talk seriously about this situation, I wish you luck.

Madonna/Whore Complex! Google can explain it better than me!
In short, couples and individual counseling.

He needs to go to a doc

It could be a self image thing. Did u gain weight? He could just need more in the bedroom. Try new things too turn him on that you are comfortable and ok with and do it safely in a safe environment. Make sure all parties are consensual. For example threesomes, swinging, toys, porn, try a sex game.

The last part about him only being able to do it to porn could be something he might benefit from a professional opinion, like a therapist.

Did he watch you have the baby what I mean is did he see the baby actually come out ? Some men canā€™t get passed the vision of that ā€¦ a good friend of mine lost her marriage because of it ā€¦ itā€™s pretty common

Is it possible he is gay?

Start dating someone else or start talking about another man in a really nice way as though you are attracted to him.
From the time another man starts showing interest in you heā€™ll want you even more than he did before.
Youā€™ll see how fast that no attraction is out the door.

You mentioned he gets off when he masterbates to porn. What type of porn? If itā€™s other women then thatā€™s one thing but it it is menā€¦he might be gay and just doesnā€™t know it yet.
Google the Madonna complex. Some men go through that when the woman they love have their baby. Good luck.

Sorry but it sounds like heā€™s got a sexual interest in someone else. Woman or man.

Does he have depression, Howā€™s his cholesterol levels? If he is addicted to porn thatā€™s your answer. Maybe try putting porn on for him and dress sexy. If that doesnā€™t work Iā€™d move on. He could love you but not be in love with you.

He needs kicking into touch and get urself a real man that finds u attractive and sexy

It doesnā€™t matter why. It is what it is. The question you should be asking yourself is whether you want to give up sex for the rest of your life or if itā€™s time to move on.

He should see a Dr get his levels check and maybe see a counselor as well. Could be a physical or mental health issue as well.

Time apart let him get that ā€œwant/miss uā€ feeling back. Or thereā€™s obviously always the thought that hes cheating. Men can be sneaky. He may not want to break the family up so he stays but cheats. Or something physical like hormone levels are off.

A lot of people are saying heā€™s gay but she said heā€™s had lots of girlfriends and sexual partners which Iā€™m assuming are also female so that doesnā€™t really check out.
More likely, heā€™s having trouble with the whole mom thing. Thatā€™s actually common. Itā€™s also common for people to not feel attraction in real life situations when they watch a lot of porn. The op says he masterbates to porn too.
It could be a combination of both or neither but his lack of initiative in finding a solution speaks volumes.
Also the fact that he said he canā€™t be with another woman because heā€™s in a relationship with her speaks volumes as well. He could feel trapped.
Someone mentioned sex addiction and that would make sense too. Sometimes people with sex addiction find themselves being less attracted to their spouse.
Regardless, he needs to do the work to get to the bottom of it.

Sounds like some therapy would be warranted. Sex can be an addiction. Also intimacy challenges usually mean there is something underlying.

Is he on any different medication?

love doesnā€™t create based off attraction you rushed it! there nothing wrong with you you created a life together and think you both confusing that with love! you may want something he isnā€™t capable of giving respect the honesty if that what he giving and start focusing on yourself and child! because a child can not create,heal bonds! save yourself pain your gonna create by forcing this

2 years and yā€™all ainā€™t done anything? Why you even still with him? :rofl::rofl: I wouldā€™ve sucked him off, hopped on that dick and made him my slut. The hell you talking about?? :rofl::rofl:

So just like women go through different hormonal changes in life so do men!!! He may be experiencing low testosterone, depression, or any number of other health concerns. Stop assuming that just because he has no sexual desire that he doesnā€™t love you, or cheating. Why is that always the go to assumption?! Talk to him and maybe get him to see a doctor at least and see if hormones play a part.

Are you 100 percent sure heā€™s not gay ? Maybe wanted a child , wanted to be a daddy so badly he tried but now he just canā€™t fake the sexual part ? Not being mean or trying to start drama but I did see this very similar situation happen to an lady I worked with at one time.
