I have been doing, for a couple of years now. Takes two. My wife is all about the kids now, I’ve felt like an inconvienience on and off for some time. I have tried, and this is the first time since I’ve been with her that I’ve had my head turned. I am, despite the impression I must give right now, a fairly decent bloke. Although I certainly dont feel like it right now. my wife doesn’t understand me[/quote]

This is a cliche. As someone (41 this year) who’s dad did this to our family all those years ago – it never gets any easier.
As has been posted up there ^ – this novelty will soon wear off. Bringing up kids is tough, your priority switches from day 1…it’s not about you as a husband and wife, it’s about you as a mum and dad.
This bit of excitement will soon settle in humdrum ordinariness – what if you had a child with the new woman? You think that it would be any different?
I’m afraid I’m in the ‘grow up’ camp.
EDIT: Make time for each other. go on dates, get someone to look after the kids for a night and go somewhere to reconnect. You both must have felt something pretty strong to start a life together – perhaps you both need to remind yourself of that.
