He is our first child. I am 48 years old. I love that little guy so much I can believe it. He not only has changed my life -- but in may ways he has saved my life. I am a professional -- I have a work at home arrangement -- one day per week. I leave the house 4 days per week at 6AM and I am home at 4PM. My wife works from home exclusively and her hours are from 12PM to 8PM. So she has the boy from 12PM to 4PM until I get home. She is doing an amazing job. When I get home I take the boy and make dinner and straighten up the house a bit. We eat dinner together, watch a little TV then it is bathtime and bed time. Forget about sex. This is kind of a non issue at this point. My priority is my boy -- if I could I would spend all my time with him -- but I need to work for 10 - 12 more years. My wife says that I am not doing enough when I am able to be home. As I am a very responsibile worker I feel that I am not doing enought at the office. I feel that these situations are temporary but nonetheless my stay at home, work from home wife feels that she is doing more than her fare share and that I am cheating her. I come back to how much I love the boy. I listen to her and communicate with her about what is going on for her -- but I feel that I am failing in almost every aspect of my life. And on a related note -- what life ? I havent done anything fun in months, I am very lucky to go to the gym at work 2 or 3 days per week and stay in touch with my friends by email. Dont worry about the sex, this will come back in time -- just communicate with your wife and tell her that you love her very much and thank her for giving you such a precious gift (your children !) Keep your chin up Gents ! My son is almost 4 months. He is our first child. I am 48 years old. I love that little guy so much I can believe it.
