Me and DH have been together nearly 10 years and have 2 DD aged 5 and 3. We don't share a bed, this started when DD2 was born and he worked long hours, DD was a bad sleeper etc, plus he snores! 3 years later we have just got into the habit of not sleeping in the same bed. Also, we never have sex ( I can't remember the last time we did), there is no kissing, no cuddling, no intimacy or affection in our relationship at all.
We are both very busy, both have full time jobs, DH regularly puts in a lot of extra hours. And my hobby takes me out the house 3 times a week when he does get home. At weekends we prioritise doing things with the kids, we never go out just the two of us.
Does this sound like our relationship is ultimately doomed? We do live more like friends/flat mates I know this. What happens when the kids are older and move out, will we have anything left? Or Is it ok to live like this, is it normal in some relationships?
Thanks.
