Obsessing over men when married

Is this normal? My husband works long hours. Sometimes he is away for a day or 2. When he comes home after a day of work he’s tired and all he does is criticise me on my parenting of our 3 kids under 5. Only one goes school so I have 2 at home with me and I’m sooooo overstimulated. I really find it hard. We have no extended family support

Your title doesn't match your OP, are you finding that your dissatisfaction with DH is making you think about other men in a 'grass is greener' type of way? Or that you just eant to feel desired as a woman by another man?

What men though?

What did you expect 3 kids under 5 to be like? and apart from conception what has men got to do with it?

It sounds like you want a distraction from the humdrum, OP.
Is that what you mean when you say you’re fixating on other men?
