Thanks. But - not much useful advice if your partner just doesn't want it and doesn't accept that it's a problem. The advice to talk about it, in my experience, gets sex one or maybe two times before things just revert back to the usual no sex.

When I tried to talk to him about it, it just upped his insecurity level. Thankfully, once I stopped taking birth control I think my scent changed, because he almost instantly became attracted to me again.

It's the hormones. BC pills suppress ovulation. Women are generally more receptive to sex when nearing and during ovulation. Men sense this and respond. When you went off the pill and resumed ovulating you wanted sex more and acting accordingly, were releasing the right hormones, and he was all over that! :bunny:

 

For me it's been 4 days. Is it sad that I'm all stompy foot pouty about it? He's been feeling kinda sick and sluggish. Hes been physically affectionate, but when everything in the house is settled and we can have sex he wants to cuddle, talk for a minute, and sleep. Last night I think I almost got a pity lay, but then he got a light- is- made- of -death -lasers- and -the- world- is -spinning migraine I nursed him through. So, that was that.

 

I guess I am being a big baby about 4 days, but my hormones have been jumping and I want that bonding, too, so it seems like forever!
