Lack of physical intimacy

Since our two children were born we don’t have sex much. Maybe like once a month. They’re both toddlers so are around a lot and need us naturally. I’m with the kids a lot so I’m so tired by the end of the day and my husband works so also tired. I don’t feel like having sex due to other demands. We get on and have a laugh etc but that part is missing. It seems like the relationship we once had has just vanished. Is this normal? Is anyone else experiencing this? Any advice?

This is very normal! As you develop sleep schedules, try to take the time when you’re both in bed touching each other and talking to reconnect. That will help get the fire going so to speak for y’all to be intimate.

It is very normal, like @jay said, the body is not willing but you will have to go out of your way sometimes to keep the communication line open talking about it, like we are not able to have sex because of this and that but I want to let you know it doesn't stop my love for you kind of a thing. Talking about can also help putting you in mood

Im like this with my partner too, since our son was born we have no time to be intimate. I don't want to be the one to always initiate it, feel like our relationship is crumbling
