Sex after baby

My first and only baby is 14 months old. My husband and I have been doing long-distance relationship until Oct 2022. I became pregnant and my baby was born in July next year. We had some good days even during my pregnancy. But nowadays my husband doesn’t even sleep with me in the same room. It has been more than 6 months since we had some intimacy. I’m wondering do men loose like sex urge for months? Upon asking, he says he is constantly thinking of family and finances and doesn’t even get any sexual urge. Me on the other hand has sex drive nowadays and it had been difficult. He doesn’t even kiss or cuddle anymore! I’m shy and not sure if this is something normal and how to deal with it.

Honestly, that’s a long time to go on without sex as a married couple. I’d look into this further. If he’s scared of you getting pregnant again soon, you should try tracking and pull put method or some form of family planning, but 6 months is wayyyyyy too long.

My hubby doesn't have a major sex drive but we didn't even wait for the 6 week okay after birth and were back at it. We'll go a week at most without having sex right now, but our daughter is 15months old and we both agree sometimes that we are just too tired 😆 So this does seem extreme to me. But maybe like the above commenter said, maybe they are scared of getting u pregnant again

Maybe couples counselling nigh be an option? My partner and I have a fab relationship, but we noticed there was something mismatched about the way we communicate about sex/out sex drives, so a professional has really helped us understand each other. It might also encourage him to open up about why he seems to be withdrawn, and help you understand what’s going on. Especially if even cuddling has stopped
