Stuck in a rut

OH and I seem to be in a bit of a rut. He works shifts so is always tired, we have a child with additional needs which causes me to be tired all the time We're not physical with each other in any sense, can't remember the last time we were. We don't do anything together, getting a babysitter is nigh on impossible!
I sometimes feel like we'd be better of separated as at least I'd then get a weekend to myself to go out whilst children are looked after or at least to catch up on sleep. He was my first serious partner and the only person I've ever slept with and I wonder if there's more out there? But that's really not what I want.
What can I do to save my relationship but more importantly my mind and be truly happy with what I've got?

Actually, I'm a big fan of leave the bastard, but I think this time it would be worth really working on your relationship. You haven't said anything bad about your partner just that you are both tired and a bit overwhelmed. Could you do some counselling together?
