Hormone overload.... (vent)

So last night my DH decided to go to bed early (at 8:50pm) and I decided I could get the extra sleep too.  Well, I thought it might be nice to have a small make out session before going to bed, just because I was feeling huge and not very pretty.  I thought just a little contact, nothing big would help cheer me up.  So I ask him with a smile on my face if he would make out with me, trying to be cute.  He just says no, I am tired......  Really???  Not like I asked for a lot and not like it was super late!  Then I ended up keeping him up for the next 20 minutes crying about how unattractive that I am that even my Husband won't make out with me!  He apologized and I think he felt bad about it, but I just wish he would try to make a little effort make me feel better once and a while.  I ended up going to sleep for an hour and a half and then waking up and could not fall back to sleep for almost 4 hours......  I know my issues are just all the hormones, but ugh.....  Thanks for letting me vent!

    i think part of it is hormones but i totally understand. Irt's very very hard at this point to feel sexy but i need to have the contact otherwise i feel like i am alone in the marriage adn pregnancy. I tried making my DH understand this and i think sometimes that he does. try to have a conversation when you are not in the moment make the distinction between it being about sex and just needing to feel close. it has somewhat worked for us

    Thank you for the advice!  I will try to talk to him again tonight when I am less emotional.  This is the second time that I have talked to him about it, but I think most of the time I wait until I really am upset about it.  Last night I had even mentioned just sitting right next to me on the couch while watching tv would be nice instead of way on the other side.  Sitting in the middle of the couch sometimes hurts my hips and my back but I still try to sit by him as much as possible......  It really isn't about sex as much as just wanting to feel connected.  You are so right how it makes you feel alone.  Thanks so much!!
