mommy rut....no romance...

MissSweetestTea · June 2010

i love being a mommy more than anything and our family time is fabulous, just as i had always imagined...but what do you do when you get in an 'just a mommy rut' and find the romance/sparkle falling by the wayside? (yes, i have borrowed 'sparkle' directly from SATC2) ...are we allowed to be this honest?i miss the way we were when we were dating, engaged, newlyweds....reality seems to be slapping me in the face- i love my babies and i love our 'family life' but we have really lost our 'connection' outside of mom and dad

Do you guys have date nights? If not do them. My husband and I have one twice a month and it really helps us reconnect.

Or why don't you guys go away for a weekend just the two of you and focus on just you guys.

I feel the same way--I put on about 15 pounds since having him and I feel icky about ME--so that doesn't help

We are going on a 4 day cruise next week--hopefully to re connect

he works late and we're just bad about not finding sitters- we have one, but she's always very busy...

i have 10 lbs to go from my 2nd pregnancy...no sexy time here, we are just totally out of sync...and soon as i feel ready to go, he has fallen asleep in bed with our 2 year old!

our 'family' time is great....but when its not laughing or playing with the kids together- it's pretty barren.....

some women on my local board have agreed that this has happened to them, just hoping that i'm not alone here and that this too shall pass with a little or a lot of work on the marriage- its hard when you want to pour all of your energy into your kids and then realizing there is nothing of yourself left to give to your spouse....

if you're doing WELL in this department, please share your magic!
