just figured out I'm asexual. Told my husband, it did not go well (long winded, sorry 😬)

So, I very recently discovered that I'm ace. I have never really had any desire or drive for sex. Porn makes me uncomfortable and talking about it makes me uncomfortable. I'm epileptic so I always assumed it was medications but I have been on and off of multiple different prescriptions and desire never changed.
A friend of mine and I had several conversations on the subject because my husband always gets frustrated with me for never being in the mood or that I never initiate (it's just never on my radar). They suggested that maybe I should read up on asexuality because I sounded like it to them.
After a crap ton of research and reading, I discovered that I am indeed asexual. A year ago, I had never heard the term and just figured that I was broken 🤷‍♀️. It made me feel so much better to know that I was just the way I was built.
So, I held on to this discovery and didn't tell anyone except for my very best friend. She told me that I needed to tell my husband.
So, a few days ago, I finally did. It was probably not the best time, he was ready to "go" and trying to get me going and I just wasn't interested. I flat out just said "look, I'm asexual". He got suuuuuper angry and told me that I'm being selfish, that I'm just expecting him to never have sex, then he started asking if all the sex previously was just a lie and was I being dishonest, and so on. He went on like that for about an hour. My 10 month old just staring at him the whole time (also not good timing since the baby was still awake but I didn't expect a blow up).
I tried to explain that sex was fine, and normally I enjoy it when it's happening but I don't desire it, I don't seek it out, the whole thing just doesn't do it for me except when it's happening. I tried to assure him that there's nothing wrong with him. He's not unattractive or anything.
He just wasn't having it. At the end of the whole thing, he just said "you're not asexual. It's just your meds."

Now, I understand that putting a title to it somehow changes the dynamic of the whole thing, but damn.

For clarity, I have a baby, and trying really sucks when you have to push yourself in order to get the end result.

Edit: I'm seeing a lot of people commenting on the lack of mention on sexual attraction. I have never been sexually attracted to anyone. Not my husband, not anyone. I DO find him attractive and handsome, just not sexually.

I’ve always liked space and I got this idea stuck in my head and had to make it.

I got banned from Hinge

Now that I know I’m asexual, it’s a lot funnier now that I got banned from Hinge because instead of looking for love, I opened an account to promote my new business.

What if we told them that not everyone's going to reproduce regardless of their sexuality? Also I bet they'll try to "correct" (r@pe) us too.
