It's not wrong to want affection in a marriage - it's natural.
My husband and I both work very long hours and co-parent so I understand how he feels! But I was also a stay at home mother for some years so I understand where you're coming from too.
We can't say if your husband has lost interest in your or sex or he's simply too tired to want anything at the end of the day.
Perhaps marriage counseling can help you both or taking some hours on the weekends (of whenever this is possible) to take a walk, to see a movie or go out to dinner. Your husband also needs to work on this - his hours are long but so are many peoples hours. He needs to be honest with you about how he is feeling as you're right - married couples should not turn into room-mates simply because they have children.
Talk to him about this and ask him if he's open to therapy.
Best,
Susan
