    Congrats on not being a drinker. You don't have to drink to have a good time. Just because his family drinks doesn't mean you have to. You can have fun without drinking. If they make you feel bad because you don't drink to have fun then I wouldn't put myself in that situation. Sounds like your doing what your suppose to do. Taking care of your family and home. Just make sure you take a night once in a while to be with just your husband. Hire a babysitter and go out to dinner, maybe a movie. If he likes to drink maybe go to a comedy club and you can be the driver on the way home. Just make sure you have time for the both of you and make sure you have time for just you once in a while. That's needed just as much as the time together. Good Luck

    You didn't say if you work out side of the home or not, but that did the trick for me. I had a boring career that I really couldn't change, but I got a part time job with an NFL team. It totally changed my life. The job itself was really exciting and I then had exciting stories to tell and could sometimes get tickets to away games that my husband and I could enjoy together without the kids. The team also put on family events that the kids just loved.

    Look around...I am sure there is something similar that you can get involved in that would make things more interesting than the day-to-day.

    first you need to discuss how you are feeling with your spouse.They might not have any idea anything is amiss in the house.We all seem to get so tied up in the day to day we forget what brought us together in the first place.Try sitting down and thinking about the reason you were attracted to each other.What are some of the things you used to do before you had kids.Plan a date night at least once a month where it's just the two of you with no distraction.sounds like you need to also take at least one day a month and spend on just you.

    I think you need a time off! put the kids in childcare or arrange a friend or family to mind the kids and have fun. You need to feel the world, marriage is not the end it is something to enjoy if you know how to juggle life.

    Sounds like you both need some together time. Perhaps he needs to help you with all of the daily business? And find some common interests with him where you are having fun together. He needs to give, too.
