Me and Lil Lifter struggle with this also. When you have kids it becomes more of an issue. With the pace of life now days trying to make time for youself seems like a selfish act and I feel very guilty about it when I do. But my therapist tells me that it's essential to make time. We live a long way away from any family so trying to get away for weekend a or vacation is next to impossible. We're trying now to get things lined up to fly my mother-in-law in town to watch our daughter in late July so we can come to Vegas and see Jen on stage. We waited later in life to have children so we were more accustomed doing things together whenever we wanted. For us we have our escape or "couples time" is on either Friday or Staurday nights. We have several really good babysitters so we got out when we can and cut it loose! It's not as much time as we'd like but it's enough to keeps us balanced. So to echo what the others have said you should definitely get away, go on vacation, or take a weekend and lock yourself in a hotel room. Try and remember that taking care yourself isn't a selfish act because when you make time for "you" your a much better person, friend, and most important husband.
