With my youngest, I pumped for several months after I went back to work. To be fair, I thought it was unnatural to watch my pump extract my breast milk into the bottle. So I can sort of understand why the husband felt uncomfortable watching.
The "kills the intimacy" part, however, is not on and the husband is being a jerk an asshole. He needs to get over it and accept that LW is doing what she fully believes is best for their child. If he's uncomfortable, he can leave the room, but he needs to understand that his lack of support can undermine LW's pumping success. Pumping is a lot harder than it sounds and LW needs to feel 100% comfortable and supported for it.
