[quote=Anonymous]DH and I have two kids together. We love being parents, but rarely get time for the two of us. Our daughter is six months old and we've only been on one date night and have only been intimate once. I've tried talking to him about common interests, time to ourselves, a more active sex life, etc...nothing has changed (we were very intimate and active before kids, but he's never been a big talker). When his parents offer to babysit so we can go out he says he'd rather spend time with them. He puts a piece of tape in the middle of our headboard so we don't stray from our sides (when we used to cuddle to fall asleep). I love him, but it feels like Im living with a mime who doesn't find me attractive or interesting. We no longer cuddle, kiss, or talk very much. I'm very upset by this, but he seems to be fine with the way things are (my efforts to be intimate are shut down, my discussions about finding a common hobby are met with reluctance). It's starting to depress me and make me question our marriage, not to mention myself (I feel unattractive and unintelligent). Also, I lost all my baby weight after our first DC and our sex life was still nonexistent until we tried for our second (he always had an excuse as to why he didn't want to: his weight, exhaustion from work, worried about getting pregnant too son).

My question is: how do I change this? Is it just a funk we're in? Sometimes I wonder if a divorce would be better for both of us; I miss feeling loved and attractive. I'm worried that our connection has deteriorated so much in five years of marriage and questioning what that means for our future. [/quote]
