Husband no longer tries to get intimate and is always short with me?

Anonymous
My 5th anniversary is in a few weeks. We have a 4 yr old and 2 yr old. Neither are good sleepers. My 4 yr old is very scared to be alone at night so she sleeps with me in my bed. My husband sleeps on the couch. Around 1 am every night, my 2 yr old wakes up and I have to go and sleep with him.

Raising two small kids and both working full time is hard. Admittedly, we spend zero time together. Anytime in the last 9 months or so, sex has only happened because I’ve initiated it. He NEVER asks me anymore. He is also very irritable and short with me (and our kids) every single day. When I’ve asked him to talk about it, his answer is “there’s never any time”. But like I said before, we have been intimate (approx. once a week, sometimes once every two weeks). So, his answer doesn’t hold water because there’s time when I initiate it.

I do not think he is physically cheating on me. He’s not that kind of person first of all, and he picks our kids up after work and doesn’t go out at night. The only time he’s out besides work is nights he has hockey games, every Saturday morning (from 6-8:30 am) for hockey and Friday after work sometimes to play frisbee golf with his buddies but he is home by time it gets dark.

Any thoughts? Especially from married guys. Could really use some help here. I’m afraid my marriage is failing and I’m going to lose my family.
