[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Youngest child is nine but we average 1x/6 weeks. I was ready to go within two weeks of each birth but DH is...different. That said, I think once a week unless both of you are extremely high-drive is excellent. The thing about men is that they want to know that things will improve. You should tell DH that in X amount of months, given sufficient household/childcare help, you will return to 2-3x/week of some form of intimacy. Marriages die when the high-drive partner is deprived for years and there is no prospect of ever having regular intimacy again. Limbo is the worst. [/quote]

Wow, you're having sex less than 12 times a year?? [/quote]

Marriage counselors define a “sexless marriage” as fewer than 11 instances of coitus per year.[/quote]

NP here and I am in the same boat. It's quite common for partner's to neglect each other during the baby years and emerge as totally unglued and resentful. It's really, really hard to reignite the spark if you allow it to die.

This is why this post struck a nerve. OP is doing fine, once a week at that age is better than most and her DH needs to be patient. But the conversation is important and ignoring your partner's request for more intimacy is the death knell of a marriage. [/quote]
