have name changed. been with DH 4 1/2 years, have dc aged 3 and 6 (6 YO is from my prev marriage)
have always fancied the hell out of eachother and had great, frequent sex, despite the demands and pressures of having young DC. in past relationships (for both of us) the sex has dropped right off after the 6 month honeymoon period. but we always (smugly, and perhaps, naively) said to eachother we felt we were in a permanent honeymoon period and could never see us slowing down sex-wise.
but looks like we were wrong. as, in the last year or so it dropped to about once a week, but in the last few months its dropped even further to about twice a month :(
this is just not enough for me. its not enough for both of us, i know he misses it too. i absolutely love sex with dh, but at the moment we are both just constantly exhausted, we both work, although i only work part time, its quite a physically demanding job.
we still really fancy eachother, i look at him and find him so attractive its unbelievable. and he says the same about me. he is always checking me out, squeezing my bum, grabbing me for a kiss etc. and we have a really good relationship.
but surely if we really did fancy eachother as much as we think we do, we would still be wanting to have sex often no matter how tired we are? i mean, when we got together i had a 2 year old and was working too, so its not like we can blame having dc as that didn't stop us in the early days.

worried we are turning into one of "those" couples that rarely have sex?
