Marriage not great since having children

I have 2 children, 5 & 11 months. My marriage is pretty rubbish right now and I'm just not sure how to revive it. I suffer with anxiety and am on antidepressants which help but I find I have a short fuse and can snap at dh so easily. We are both always tired but whereas I still stay up quite late on mn and the like, he likes to go to bed at 9.00pm. I find this so boring as we never ever have any fun as a couple. All he seems to want to do is eat dinner, sit on sofa with a beer and some nuts and then go to bed, even at the weekend! I am so bored of it, I try and get him to stay and talk but he won't.

I know it's hard having children but I sit and think, is this it?! My relationship with him has changed so much and we haven't had sex since dd was born as I just don't have any desire.

I have suggested we take it in turns to do date nights but this hasnt happened. Nothing happens! Is this common after children and what should I do? I feel lonely and unhappy right now as he snores next to me. Thanks

Do you work? Does he? DH and I work full time and would happily go to bed at 9pm Blush We're just that knackered from working and having kids.

Get a babysitter STAT and start to go out with your husband before you both die of boredom. No fun and no sex is turning your marriage stale. If he moans drag him out anyway, you both need a change of scene.
