How common is it for couples with small children that's both work full time to go weeks or even months without sex?


My wife and I have two small boys, five and three. To put it lightly, they are one hell of a handful. Also, I work long hours (about 60 to 70 a week), and she works a (very stressful) part time job while going to school part time as well. We've always have a tough time finding the opportunity and energy to have sex... But these last couple of months, it's been pretty much non-existent.We definitely want to have sex...But we don't want to. We don't really have an opportunity during the daytime...and by the end of the night, we are so exhausted we can barely function, let alone think about sex. If I'm lucky, I'll be able to spare 5 minutes during my work day (I work from home) masturbating for some immediate gratification, and that's about all I'll have time or energy for.One of us is trying to keep a "this too shall pass" attitude about it, saying it doesn't mean anything is wrong with our relationship, that this is just life with small kids, we should try to fix it somehow but we shouldn't beat-up ourselves or each other too much about it... And the other thinks that this is much more serious and that "normal couples don't have this problem", even in our situation, and it's a big cause for concern.So...how common is this for busy couples with small kids? via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2P2S8vz
