I think that every woman with children should be allowed to take either one or two nights twice a year, and just go to a special area, get a motel room and do whatever she likes (no cheating of course! LOL ).
I live in Michigan, and I love the Great Lakes. As a child, every summer we would spend 6 weeks right on Lake Huron and that is my "special place." It is in northern Michigan, and I love sittiing on the beach, watching the sun go down. Nothing gives me more peace of mind than that. Everyone should have a 'special place' like that --- one that gives them peace of mind or just general relaxation. 
And I think we all get into the "little kid" mode too, especially if we have children. We have so many responsibilities with kids -- and bringing up kids is a HUGE responsibility which is usually the Mother's job! The Dad MIGHT get involved, but many times he comes home and is just 'too tired' to take time for the kids.  I've seen this so very often, and it was true in my own marriage --- the jerk.
Big Mama, I know there are troubles at home, and I DON'T know if any of them have been smoothed out, but are you going to couples counseling still? I'm thinking that you were, correct? Has it improved things? Can you tell hubby how you're feeling where he'll understand? Can you tell him you need a friend at times who is NOT a sexual partner? Sometimes you have to spell things out to them or they won't get it. 
I wish you the very best my friend. Please keep us posted. God bless and take care of YOURSELF. Hugs, Lee
