[quote=Anonymous]DH and I had a very passionate and wonderful relationship and early marriage.  But then came the kids…

His child, who he used to have 40% of the time, we now have all the time (child is 10).  We have a 5 year old and almost 3 year old, too.

We both work very high-pressure, stressful jobs (though they're relatively cyclical).  He travels a lot so I am almost always the one who has to make it home in time to relieve the nanny around 6.  We do have an amazing nanny who does so much; she truly keeps our lives working!

I know DH misses sex (we have it twice or three times a week, and to be honest I'm usually kind of a reluctant participant) and wishes I were more carefree and "fun" like I used to be, I guess.

But I am exhausted.  And I don't know how to solve that.  I do get to sleep in until 7 most mornings.  I feel like I could go to bed at 9:30 or 10, but I usually stay up late because he gets frustrated with me if I'm in bed really early.  And yes, I have had my thyroid checked and I'm on medication (the right level).

I'm definitely considering quitting my job or just taking a few projects on -- we don't need the money my job provides -- partly because I feel like I'll have more energy to be a better spouse.

I would love to hear if anyone has gone through something similar and what you did to sort of reignite yourself.  Unless what you did was develop a drug addiction to give yourself more energy. :)
