Is anyone’s marriage is tatters because of it?

Me and Dh had an amazing marriage/relationship until the first lockdown. Being stuck at home with 3dc all day while he still worked was awful. The arguing between the Dc and home schooling plus I have mental health problems was a lot. We had sex 4 times last year.
We never got a break, dd13 is always downstairs watching hung tv with us in the evening.

I’m at breaking point. Iv told him numerous times how unloved I feel lately. I feel like we are at breaking point. It’s not fair.

I don’t think we will survive much longer.

I've loved DH since I was fifteen (I am 33 now) we have three children together and have been through so much, but I am really starting to think we will separate after this lockdown. We don't argue (much) but we just barely speak and simply exist around one another. We have a tiny three bed semi and just never have a break from one another, the children don't sleep until 10 and most nights he falls asleep on the couch. It feels like even though we have never spent so much time 'together' we've never been more distant from each other. It's horrible and I don't know how to fix it.

That's really sad 😞. I don't have any advice on how to fix things but I hope you do. I'm sure once normal life resumes you'll find a way back to each other.

Yes, this really rings true for us. Very well expressed.

We have no time ‘out’ to have fun or enjoy each other’s company.

Yup. Bad enough but I think homeschooling will finish us off

I’m not married but I’m on the verge of killing DP and he’s not even in lockdown with me only isolating because some stupid collegue at his work said she was with him for more than 15 minutes when that wasn’t even true. Anyway 7 days to go.... we are not that couple that live in each other’s pockets, we love spending time together but not 24/7...

Yeap, I found out 2 months ago hubby was having an emotional affair since the start of March lockdown. They both wfh so it was all done online or via phone.

He moved out but is now back because of this new lockdown to help with home school, because I need to work.

I feel trapped, there is no where to go!
