He feels we never get “alone time” anymore. He then withholds affection from me, as if I’ve done something wrong by having my kids.

Since he moved in, our sex life has dwindled to almost nonexistent. He refuses to be intimate when the kids are home, yet he hasn’t made the most of the “alone time” we do have when the kids aren’t here. He usually goes to bed early, without so much as a goodnight kiss. Or he’ll go out on weekend days and not include me.

I have been cheated on in the past, and my insecurities are starting to rear their ugly heads. I don’t know how to talk to him because he gets defensive and gaslights any issues I bring up. I don’t feel safe sharing my hurt with him, let alone sharing my anger at him for trying to make me feel bad for being a mom. I’m losing hope and feel myself shutting down.
