Aww you poor thing, maybe try and get some counselling. Yes I bet it makes you feel terrible and yes a man needs sex. I know it's hard but maybe just try to at least cuddle and kiss in the mean time until you can seek some help. Sorry I'm not much help. I am sure you will get a lot of answers. I am like this at the moment but I'm 8weeks preg and want to wait until 12 week scan, my husband understands but I still try and help him out.
I really wish you luck, it is very hard. Bless

I had the same problem. My eldest is 5, and I lost my sex drive after her. I just started getting it back about a year ago after the birth of our 2nd (she was about a year old) - husband deployed for a year, though, so I had no pressure! but honestly, sex still isn't as important to me as it once was.

We discovered (we being my doctor & I) that I have a pelvic floor dysfunction. This causes me pretty nasty pain, which puts me off sex, but I had to find a way past that with different positions, etc. that minimize my discomfort. Beyond that, though; my hormones were so out of whack that I really just had no desire. I love him and I love being close to him, but when my hormones go off-kilter, I really don't want to do anything beyond that. It's a hard subject to broach, but SEE YOUR DOCTOR. They can help. I went off all birth control to regulate myself, and we worked on our marriage a lot so he understood that this wasn't a conscious choice.
Good luck, hon.

Get your prolactin levels checked.
