Do you think that hormone problems are behind most [low libido] situations? Do you think greater knowledge/research in this area would ease the frustration felt by the HL partner?

Not a problem, and keep working on losing that weight, it really realllly reallllllly makes the difference!

I know it can be difficult with kids, but, just find the time, people tend to make time for things they really want (Watching GOT, having ice cream after dinner, checking facebook) Replace GOT with sex time, replace ice cream wtih sex time, put the kids to bed early for a few days a week, etc, it's not easy but you can do it!

I raised 2 kids, and my first wife demanded sex daily, we were often falling asleep making love, running on 4 hours of sleep from the night before, but we never ever sacrificed sex on the altar of Busyness, that's the fastest route to becoming roommates. Not sexy.

Once the kids are around 5+ there's no need for 4 hours of sleep per night anymore, and you should be back on an 7-8 hr schedule. and separating the kids off into their own independent structures so they can mature while you and hubby do your thing, a lot of parents make the mistake of thinking they have to actually be present and around the kids all the time, if that's actually true, your kids need to be disciplined more and taught to behave so mom and dad aren't constantly babysitting them.

healthy children, don't really need much supervision beyond the age of 8, they just need guidance when they mess up.

Definitely go get a full blood work done and mineral panel, have a REAL dietitian read the results, I'm sure that will help you out too!!

One more thing, you can do it!
