Sick of playing second fiddle

Just that really. Fed up of playing second fiddle to my DH work and sleep. I understand he gets up early (4am) for work, but I feel like I revolve around this.

i always thought a marriage/relationship was a two way street, there should be give and take on both sides, but no, it’s all about him and his work and sleep pattern. We don’t have a fantastic sex life anymore, compared to how we used to be, and it’s generally me that tries to initiate, but get told ‘is that all you want me for or I’m tired and I need sleep’ yet he will happily stay awake later to watch football 🙄. I work full time too but yet it’s still all about him and his precious work and sleep. AIBU??
