DnJ- I don't know how old your kiddos are but we call the years until our kids were preschoolers "the dark years." I missed sex and intimacy but the idea of one more person needing something from me at the end of a long day of our kids needing me in a very physical way was just too much for me. Looking back now, we were both pretty miserable and neither one of us felt that the other understood our feelings or needs.
It was absolutely wonderful to make it through to the other side and we comment regularly on how thankful we are that those times are past. Good luck to you. |

the only time our TV in the bedroom is on, is if I'm watching a dvd while folding wash on the bed. Its not even hooked to the dish. On occasion we will pop in a disc of homemade porn of me with a SM. No computers in the bedroom, just my phone in case of emergencys with the family.
Neither of us are TV watchers really but we do get sucked in by the forums we are on. But I get cranky if I don't have sex often! So we decided just like we schedule other things we would schedule computer/tv off us on time. PG |

Yup, the computer! very bad. Worse the TV. My husband doesn't wind down until about 9:30 and usually starts getting sidetracked then, by the computer in his office. I'm usually on mine in our bedroom. I've often emailed him saying 'hon, are you at least watching porn?' he writes me back, 'Nope, watching fishing video's'. oh Lord. lol. we usually hear each other laughing since the rooms are close. I'm often tired or into something on tv if he comes to bed after 11. Been saying I'm going to remove our bedroom tv for about 20 years now. ....thinking I might not ever do it.

KD, good point! I forgot to mention date night. We were encouraged to do that, too, and even though we didn't manage to have a date night every week, "forcing" ourselves to get a babysitter and head out for adult fun was well worth the effort.

oh Lord... you're not kidding. My kids are older ...and out of the house! ... and yet they still have a way of popping in at the most unfortunate times!!! We need to move further away I think...
You are certainly not alone. This is why 'they' say to schedule it in and make date nights. I always found that easier said then done, but when you do do that, it seems to re-ignite a little of the fun and you may be 'less tired' another time or two during the week. Even if you don't go out, make a date night at home. Just lock that damn door! ....and there's always mornings. ;) |

D n J, I've been where you are now, and it is exhausting. When we were too tired for sex because of the work we had done during the day, we made sure to at least verbalize our desire to have sex with each other. It allowed for reconnecting in an emotional way even if the body wasn't capable of performing, and sometimes led to a very welcome quicky before falling asleep. Even if we didn't have full intercourse, holding each other closely as we relaxed together in bed was extremely important. In a small way it re-established our bond to each other as committed lovers and partners in life.

D n J, you realize that the kids are most important. Even when you wish you were in bed and having fun, or going out, you are still most concerned with their well being.
You will never regret these priorities. You will, however, very likely appreciate the empty nest situation when it comes along. |
