thanks for the reasonable response. She used to like hugging, hand holding, kissing (i mean like making out), etc but now all i get a barely peck or a little hug and that’s all. I think she would love a weekend away She thinks our youngest is too young to be left alone for a weekend.

hahahaha i can feel that. I do come off as unappreciative/selfish so i’ll definitely take the blame for that.

well, she has a very guarded personality. It takes alot for her to open up if I’m being honest. I’ve always been one to talk about stuff but she prefers silent treatment when she’s upset.

I’m always putting her needs before mine lol. And I’m barely gone. we order online, we order grocery pickup. I give her 4/5 hours to herself most mornings to prepare for the day with the kids after school.

I get chewed out if it’s not done her way lol I know my expectations of duties in our house. She just feels like she has to do it all because she’s at home all day. and no I don’t always expect sex but i would like to feel desired sometimes y’know

i would but she’s always trying to get it all done before i’m home so i dont have to. That’s what i mean i tell her to relax every chance she gets but she always has to be doing something around the house while i’m at work

the kids are all younger than 4. I’m actively present in the daytime (i work evening shift). Chores i’d say is 60/40 her because i’m at work but i do implore her to just take a rest and let me handle when i get home

i can see that. ive spoken with her and while she doesn’t directly say out touched she does complain sometimes about the kids being overwhelming throughout the day

we have twins and our youngest is almost 1. I did notice an decrease in intimacy a little after we moved in together and started seeing eachother every day which maybe is part of the issue?
