I have been married for almost 9 years and things are getting dull
I have been married for almost 9 years. My wife and I have an 8 year old daughter. I have a great job and tend to stay late doing a lot of BS browsing on the internet until I get bored and then go home. I usually get home around 6:15 every night and spend the next hour talking with my daughter about her day at school and playing with her until she goes to bed at 7:30. Then I usually sit in the living-room watching TV (30 minutes max), doing homework (graduate degree), or reviewing my lesson plans for the next day (I am a teacher). Then I usually go to bed around 11:30-12:00 and then start my day all over at 5:00 am.
My wife and I both lead very busy work lives. She is usually out the door only a few minutes after I leave. To try and spend a little extra time with my daughter throughout the week she almost always goes with me to work and I walk her to school. After school she is bused to daycare near my wife's work. Just so we can spend some extra time with our daughter at home playing we've even hired a tutor to go to her daycare and ensure her homework is done before my wife picks her up at the end of her day. We go out to dinner every weekend. I also make it a habit to call my wife throughout the day just to see how she is doing. During all of this I usually only talk face-to-face with my wife at the dinner table or on my way out the door in the morning. I try to get her to spend some time with me even if it is just watching a TV show with me but does not interest her. When I ask what she would like to she just tells me she's tired and wants to lay down.
Our sex life has been on the slopes for awhile now, probably doing it once every-other week. After sex we just roll over to our own side of the bed and go to sleep. I feel like we've lost our connection with each other and that I am just going through the motions everyday in my home life. If there is any advice or suggestions that would help it would be greatly appreciated.
