Add in a bad sleeper and return to work, and we had essentially zero sex for almost a year after he was born. So basically 20 months.
Things started to improve a bit, when literally the first time we had full sex in a year, she got pregnant (surprise). Sex drive completely disappeared at that point (2016), parathyroid issues developed, weight gain, financial stress for a time, and then severe job stress (from a job that helped alleviate the financial stress).
Basically, aside from the occasional encounter that I have to insist on (and she ends up enjoying), I haven’t had a real sex life in 7.5 years. We probably average one exhausted, half-hearted encounter every few months. She’s anxious about another pregnancy and can’t stand IUDs, so the plan is for me to get snipped when COVID ends. She says that will help, but who knows.

And you do realize that infrequent sex with a man who does NOT complain means he is quietly getting sex elsewhere?

Ha! Once you have kids it's a whole new ballgame. Every time we try, a kid opens the door. So frustrating.

Lock it?
We obviously do! But the locks have that hole were you can stick something in it to open and the littlest pries it open.
Invest in a new lock for your sex life. Geez this is sad
