I miss someone kissing me and holding me. I miss someone dying to finish work at the end of the day just so he can come home to hug me and ask me how my day was. I miss the passion in our love making. It has now become "sex".

I have 2 kids (girl 4yo & boy 20mths). I am a stay at home mum, which is something that I love. I love to take care of my kids and making our house a home. But I really miss my husband. I miss the man that I met 7 years ago. I miss the way he used to make me feel like a woman.

We make love (or should I say "have sex") about once every 3 months. I am only 33 and I NEED more. But he's always tired or goes to bed before I do.

I feel lonely, even though I have a fantastic small group of close friends. I don't know why I feel that I can't talk to them about this. I feel that I only want to talk to someone who doesn't know us. Why is that?

I suffer from depression and have been on medication for the past 4 years. Is this depression that I'm feeling or is this a "normal" progression in a 7 year old relationship. Is this what they call the "7 year itch"?

Hi there...
It sounds to me like your a very lonely person. Ive been in that situation but without the children. Do you ever talk to your husband about the problem? I have been in the situation where my parner has become complacent and we ended up parting although i must admit there was lack of communication between us. I think everyone goes through these stages in life and most people if they try can get over it. I think it is worth trying to talk things out with your husband for the children becuase if you are unhappy it will eventually filter through to them no matter how you try to hide the problem.
Dont be afraid to try.....good luck

ok the seven year itch is somethign that sounds like this..

and if kids are invloved and he does all the "work" to pay bills then yes it can become tedious to be more of a 'husband" to you. I went through this and it was not good.
If you can afford to do all of it on just his salary, then stay at home if you can not go to work parttime or try to babysit to make extra money.

That could be his "tired attatiude" towards you when he comes home..

I have been there and done what you are doing. The only differcne was I had a disabled child at home and could not work
