Oh man, I totally get your love tank being empty. Mine is empty a lot too. It's so hard to give and give and be the carer of the family. It definitely gets to the point where I'm longing to feel that love given back to me. The difference for me is that my husband is trying. It's still like working at a deficit, but his continued effort does make a difference. I love my baby and I can't imagine life without him, but I miss the closeness that my husband and I had. We're so tired and occupied that I think it's for sure on the back burner.

This big life transition is hard on them too, and I respect that. It takes time to sort everything out again. But it sounds like your husband doesn't want to work with you on this. That must be so frustrating. I don't have any advice, but the way you're feeling is valid and I understand it so much. You're not asking for too much.
