Marriage counselor told us we need to make time for us

Yes. DS 1 stayed with us until he was about 2. DD 1 decided to move out about a year after my DS 2 was born. DS 2 moved out a little before the baby was born. To each their own. Bed/room sharing works for us.

I am not so sure it does if he had an emotional affair and you’re in counseling. It’s not right but from the sound of things I can’t say I blame him. You don’t just marry someone, get to own them, and refuse to nurture the relationship.

But less activities? Is he going to fill that time playing with them?

Disagree with the activities request.

How about they fill that time by entertaining themselves? You know, like generations of kids before them did?

Team DH.

Team DH all the way! His requests are very reasonably. Intimacy isn't just sex; it should also include: cuddling, talking and just enjoying watching TV TOGETHER.

Get that toddler out of your bed, cut those activities down and start spending more time with your DH
