I feel embarrassed posting this but I feel so down and wretched at the moment that I just need some friendly support!!

My DH wont come near me now that my belly is well out there (23 weeks and already quite large). I should have known that he would be like this because he was with DD although when pregnant with her at least he was happy to kiss and do 'other' things as opposed to BD'ing. This time around I can barely get a hug off him and I sometimes feel like he wont even look at me. I feel so unloved and unwanted - especially as I am quite an affectionate, tactile person and to me, affection and 'loving' is a way of showing it. And because I have put on quite a bit of weight already I just feel so unattractive and that sets off the paranoia that he will leave for someone else.....

We have discussed it and all he will say is 'you know how I feel about you pregnant'. He thinks its wierd to be sexual with a 'third' person there and also disrespectful to me as I am doing 'bigger things' (ie growing a baby) plus he finds pregnant women unattractive. He has tried the last few days to give me a hug and a peck on the lips every now and then but I guess I want him to WANT too, not because he feels like he has too.

Is anyone elses DH like this? How do I get through the next four to five months without feeling hurt and resentful?? Anyone else's advice/experiences would be most appreciated!
