Feeling guilty for being so tired

Since our baby boy was born 5 months ago we decided as he was exclusively breastfed that I’d do all the nights and my partner would take over all cooking/cleaning the house so I could nap whenever the baby napped. This worked great when he was newborn but 5 months in and yet again we finished dinner after putting the baby to bed and I’m falling asleep on the sofa while my partner is finding a film for us to watch. I’ve got no problem doing the nights but I feel so guilty that we don’t spend any or very minimal quality time together anymore because I just can’t stay awake past 8pm or so. The baby was a great sleeper til he hit 4 months and now I get barely 3/4 hours a night.
