I'm a long way into my second marriage. We've been together 11 years and have a little one aged 5. I'm very fond of him but I find myself increasingly hemmed in with my life. I am the primary wage earner and primary home maker (housework, cooking etc), although he does take about half the responsibility for childcare. I'll readily admit that at the moment I am especially negative because I am just so tired - I'm doing quite a bit of overtime. He's quite a moody person, which also doesn't help, and spends a lot of time lying on the sofa.
My biggest problem is that I've had a crush on a female friend that's lasted 6 years now. We meet up every couple of months, as friends, and I don't think she knows. I don't want to break off the friendship, but I feel very sad as I hate feeling this way. If I didn't have kids maybe it'd be less of an issue.
