Hi, I've got 2 kids (2.5 and 6). The 2.5 year old needs her tonsils out and has sleep apnoea. She's never done more than 2 hrs sleep at a time which has had an enormous affect on our marriage. We can't have the operation for another 12 mths.
I've not had any time with my wife really since our youngest was born. We've not had [censored] for 2 years as she's always tending to our youngest. Or too tired as she barely gets sleep because of all the breastfeeding.
I feel like I've been pretty patient but the lack of intimacy, or even the slightest bit of interest is becoming unbearably frustrating. It doesn't seem to bother her much, maybe she's got what she wanted (2 kids) and that's that.
Anyone else been through this? I want to be a good dad/husband and hang in there but am I wasting my time?
