b"Ever since we had our baby, my husband and I are at odds with each other. It\\u2019s like he\\u2019s my roommate and not my partner anymore. We just co exist. We never have time to sit down and talk. And when we do talk, it\\u2019s about laundry list items pertaining to the kids like - can you order more diapers or by the way, baby has his doctor\\u2019s appointment tomorrow. Every little argument snowballs into a fight. It feels like we\\u2019re constantly bickering. I don\\u2019t even want to talk about how long it\\u2019s been since we\\u2019ve been intimate. I\\u2019ve lost track of how many months it\\u2019s been. Why are my kids ruining my marriage??\\u201d -Dazed and Confused, New York, NY\\nIf this sounds like you -- don\\u2019t worry.
