Re: not looking for ridicule, seriously wanted advice.
we CAN afford a bed but want to wait to see how much our house will be, so i just say we cant afford it so i wont be tempted to spend the money. also want to wait till we've moved if possible so we can just have it delivered instead of moving it ourselves. as far as everything else goes, was just feeling a little neglected that nite, wanted to vent. i was also 1/2 way into a bottle of wine and THAT always exaggerates things. lol i will take all of your advice and try to slow down. im the type of person who cant relax, never sits still, etc, so that has always been a problem for me. i think i had SO much to focus on with wedding plans that after i was kind of like, "Now what?" and for some odd reason thought TTC & house hunting at the same time would be a good idea. we dont want to wait TOO long for baby since we are both in our 30's and want more than 1, but are going to chill on that a bit till we have moved. if it happens before that then thats ok too. thank you again to all who posted genuine help-its very much appreciated.

Completely normal slowdown for a man. Men are into the thrill of the chase and "new". Now the chase is done and it's the same old with the same women. To him his wild randy days are over, to you they are just being.
You are a boring married now, no longer a wild carefree couple.A different level of expectations for him.
He could also be worried you are trying to breed and fill a new house with babies.
You could also just be worrying too much.Maybe he's just tired from long work hours. 9:00PM in the winter so it's already been dark for 3hrs. His body clock is saying "sleepy time".
Stop TTC and just do it already. I think TTC freaks some people out. You will be surprised how fast you can get PG by just having sex when the two of you feel like it.
If I were in the mood and my DH was asleep on the couch I would take off my clothes put on something very seductive and hop on his lap. I doubt he will turn you away.
You hit the nail on the head, STRESS. There is no room left for a hot steamy romp when you're stressed out. Your libido goes out the window in reaction to it, and a constant state of stress will make you tired. I'd say if you guys want to make all your plans happen in the timeline you have set, you will have to start to make an effort in the bedroom versus how it was before when it was natural. All couples go through a slow period, but it you want to change it, it's going to take work!
