I'm so sorry you're going through this right now. I did notice that you mentioned him being a SAHD (stay at home dad). We, as women, can handle A LOT more than we are sometimes given credit for. However, being a SAHD can quickly turn into more than a man bargained for-- even worse if he stays home all day, every day of the week. Have you discussed if he was perhaps overwhelmed or stressed over being the one to stay home with your son?
My husband has recently taken on this role and I know that sometimes he just needs to get out of the house and/or is exhausted by the end of the day. Men need a lot of praise for this, something that we, as women, don't really get but we don't really NEED it, either. The lack of sex, communication, etc. could have a lot to do with the fact that he may feel tired, unappreciated, maybe even depressed. I know he is your EX now but I think it's something worth discussing, don't you think?
