I’ve literally sat here rewriting my story and I’ve just come across as whiny. So I realized I would like hear from you guys and what you did to either pull yourselves out of a slump or how you reconnected with your spouse.
Basics Myself 37(m) wife (36f) and our beautiful brute of a toddler. Thanks for your time everyone!

When my kids were little I often felt “touched out”, especially while they were still breastfeeding. I rarely wanted to have sex but I did it anyway because it was important to me to keep our marriage strong. It worked. I recommend having sex at least once a week. Schedule it if you have to.
I am a fan of scheduling sex. We always aim for one night a week. We basically know bare minimum we will have sex on Saturday. We try for Friday as well.
I think it’s always good to communicate needs. Some people want sex more or less often so it’s good knowing where your spouse stands.
I will also add that as a stay at home mom who’s still nursing a toddler, I really appreciate when my husband lets me sleep in one morning on the weekend. He wakes up SUPER early for work but still lets me sleep in one day and brings me coffee in bed. It’s such a little gesture but it makes me really appreciate him and gives me energy.
As a wife I think when our husbands take some off of our plate, it makes more room for intimacy.
