Ahh such a crap sappy thread but it’s getting to me.
Been married approx 10 years. Two girls, 8 and 5. Both of us working full time in stressful, full on jobs. Our lives are busy like most at our stage.
we are like passing ships. We don’t get much time to ourselves. Kids have sleep issues (which we are working on) and so our evenings are often taken up with that fiasco. We don’t have many childcare options so we don’t really get out.
Found ourselves with an hour to ourselves tonight. Aaaand we flopped on the couch and barely spoke. Because we have not very much to talk about? I don’t really know.
He’s a great dad and a good husband. But I feel a little bit… taken for granted, maybe? I still fancy him (and I think he still fancies me) but we are so tired and so time-poor that sex is pretty rare these days. I often feel like he’s just not really up for it. Prefers to spend a quiet five mins on his phone than sweeping me off my feet 😂😑
I just feel like we’ve lost the closeness. I’ve spoken to him about it. He swears it’s there and that he’s just tired and we have a lot going on and that’s true. Is this normal though?
