confused

So, I am a veteran myself but my wife and I have been married for 10 years. I've been in and around the military for almost 20 years now so I should know how things go. Sadly, a couple years ago our family changed in a way we could not see coming. This change has forced me to become a stay at home dad which is something that is very hard for me to do. I've been doing alright but I feel like our relationship may be struggling a little these days.

Due to the stress of our complicated family life and her ever changing jobs in the military, our relationship has become all business and no play. We've become transactional in our interactions and the spark is all but gone.

What's compounding our issues is that I am a male spouse and disabled veteran. It's pretty hard trying to find friends as a male spouse. Most people avoid me like the plague which sucks! I'm a pretty cool guy.

I don't know. Maybe I'm just feeling some type of way right now. Maybe I'm not looking at the the bright side of life, but life is sure lonely around here these days even with the whole family home.
