My wife and I have been married for 11 years and have two children; however, our marriage has become strained in the last year. We both work and balance high end careers; however, we don't have time for each other. We seem to be at each other over sex, money, pasts, and other issues. It doesn't appear that either of us have been unfaithful (at least I know I haven't).

We use to have an active sex life and now my wife is happy if we are intimate once every two weeks. She blames it on stress and in an effort to help we have divided a lot of the chores at home to balance the load. She cooks dinner, I clean. She dusts and cleans counters, I mop and vaccuum. She drops the kids of at school and I pick up. I would truly see this as a 50/50; however, she doesn't give me credit for what I do and then blames lack of interest on stress. What can I do?

My other frustration is that she and her high school girlfriend always talk about high school and old experiences, boyfriends which drives me insane. My wife was not a virgin when we met and I accept that; however, shouldn't she move on and not focus so much on the past good and/or hot times?

I love my wife; however, I am just confused and don't know where to go?
