A little backstory - about 10 months ago, I hurt my knee. For about 3 months, my husband barely touched me… until I finally pried out of him that he doesn’t think I’m attractive when I’m “hurt”. Granted I was STILL doing everything that I had been before the injury. Come to find out I had a torn meniscus. We had been working on our sex life for awhile trying to improve it… until surgery a month ago. I was so scared that we wouldn’t have sex again and he would treat me like I wasn’t attractive.…. AGAIN.

Cut to now. A month after surgery and he barely kisses me. He is helping with so much around the house and is exhausted, I’m trying to give him the benefit of a doubt. My husband doesn’t care to kiss, touch, or do anything with me even though I’m full weight bearing with the brace, and starting to do chores again. I’ve been telling him that him not treating me like I’m attractive at all makes me feel unwanted and gross, but nothings changing . The hardest part is I told him I was terrified of this exact thing happening. I feel like this is him being overwhelmed, but it’s hurting our marriage in my eyes. What do I do to get over this??
