Q & A of the day

Question

My boyfriend and I have a 7 month old baby but we stopped making love when I was 4months pregnant.

Since we never sleep together and he never invites me over, do you think he's having an affair? I don't want him to blow a boom. Or do you think we have future together? He does alot for us.


Answer

I am the last person who can tell you about your boyfriend's intentions. Best person to talk to will be him. I am sure you have tried which is why you are writing to me, as you feel desperate for an answer – from anyone!

There are many reasons why men stop having sex with their partners, one of them is that they are more interested in another woman or have lost attraction for their own woman. He may be struggling with erections or perhaps he is not physically well and so has no sexual interest. Invite him to share what kind of relationship he wants to have with you as right now it feels like it is a friendship, and a sharing of parenting. But you want him as your lover. He must rather tell you the truth so you can make plans for your own life. It's your right to know.
