How to be comfortable with initiating sex with husband

I,female(20) have a higher sex drive than my husband male(22) and it’s not that he doesn’t want to have sex with me, almost any time I initiate he says yes but hardly ever tries to have sex with me without any trying on my end. I just want to feel wanted again, like I have to tell him to cuddle me and then he’ll maybe make a move.

He has no drive unless I start it first. I know he has a high stress job and is getting deployed soon so a lot of it may be anxiety but I really want to feel wanted again and have sex spontaneously! This has been a problem almost our whole relationship. He never initiates!

So my question is: how can I feel more comfortable just being the initiator?

I’m also 6 months post partum and I didn’t really have an issue making the first move before because I felt sexy but now it’s hard because I don’t feel like myself but really want to be intimate and wanted.
