We have gone through spurts of this, the best thing we did was make one night a week "our night." Even if it was just a night at home where we cooked together and watched TV. I would work out in the mornings and he would be sure to leave work on time, we take them very seriously. We might have to swtich the night due to something coming up, but we are sure to always have one!

Also when I feel distant I make sure to up the affection, whether it be a text during the day to say I love you, extra long kiss in the morning, cooking his favorite dinner, ect. This helps bring the romance back as well. I think every couple has this happen!

We start to feel distant when he's working every 8-10 hours around the clock. Sometimes he'll work twice in the same day and when he's home all he does is eat, sleep, and shower. It definitely takes a toll because he's exhausted and gone so much but I've been home alone the whole time with a normal sleep schedule. When this happens I make it a priority to get up when he's headed to work even if that means I'm up at 2am making a meal. We have to squeeze in whatever time we can. I also try my best to adjust my sleep schedule to his. If I can predict that he'll be home at a somewhat normal hour I try my best to stay up and wait or if I know he'll get called at 3am and needs to go to bed early I try to do that too.
