I dont Know what should i do

I have a 13-month-old baby. I feel like my husband lost interest in me. Before i got pregnant i found he had cheated on me (Just had phone and video conversations with other girls). Then when i caught him he told me, he not gonna do it again and would make an effort in our relationship. Then i fell pregnant and since i got pregnant and still now we haven't had any sex last 2.5 years. i had vaginal delivery so i thought that's why he is giving me some time to heal my baby is almost 14 months now but he doesn't seem any interest in me and sex. I am very introverted so indirectly i asked him but he didn't talk with me this elaborately.

I am a working mom. Sometimes i feel like i need someone who also loves me and pampers me but i don't want that as a charity, i want someone who feels for me.

I dont have any close friends either whom can i share my feelings. Last few months i am feeling so depressed and tired of this.

Hi loner311095

Itbis sad that your husband feels like he has lost interest. Apart from intimacy does he talk and listen to you, is he interested in his child, does he play with him. 

I can feel your loneliness . Is there something you like doing that gives you joy. 
take care
