2 years without

[Losing the urge]

I just want to know if I am the only woman in America who hasn't had sex with her husband in so long that I think I forgot how! Our son is 2 years old almost, and we are lucky if we have sex once every three weeks. We both love eachother very much and it is not a lack of attraction thing, but he works full-time on a very bizarre schedule that changes every week, and I work occasionally as an ER nurse maybe once a week. Our son is a good napper and sleeper for the most part, but he is typical two year old work. We are both worn out at the end of the day, and the most preferable thing to do is lie in bed and cuddle or read the paper or a magazine. Sex is really the last thing on our minds. Our we abnormal or is this just what happens when you are married for almost five years and have a child? Help!!!

Sorry but yes it is I'm afraid. But it's not all doom and gloom. Have a look under "parenting" > "sex after kids".

I know how you feel we must have gone years without sex or a minute to ourselves we had three girls all within 18 months of each other. But they were worth it and after a while they got into a routine and at every opportunity hubby and I had a quickie. It was a good job he was as horney as he was as the chances came up at all sorts of odd times and in some strange places.
