Counterpoint: Half of those marriages will end in divorce, resulting in a lot of broken families.

Counterpoint: they still have children and meanwhile her womb is as barren and desolate as the Sahara.

Counterpoint: she may find the man of her dreams, with kids, tomorrow and live happily ever after.

Counterpoint: she has a 50% chance of later divorcing the "man of her dreams" rather than "living happily ever after".

NP. Bottom line: it’s a coin flip in the air either way. The best thing you can control OP is your self-love, stop pretending to be happy and truly work harder at finding that happiness alone and not tied up in a role as a partner. If you do that, you’ll be surprised at the new options that become available to you.

At home.

So I can't even masturbate after the kids go to sleep.

Your situation doesn’t seem sustainable. You need to get off!

That's like the baby/toddler years where wife was stay-at-home & uninterested in sex. Furtive action in the bathroom/shower was the only "me time."

How old are you, PP? Is it too late to start?

36

Would you consider a widower with three kids?

Yes never envy those families. Most of the ones I thought were happy ended up in divorce. I still can't believe the one guy that got the AP pregnant. I would never have thought he was a cheating creep. At age 50 their family is destroyed and so are their finances.
Realistically I believe the number of very happy marriages is small. Sad but true.

I miss sex with you, too.

I assume this is an issue for you because you're a woman...?
