You may not feel like it was "old married couple" but do you know how she feels?
Yes, it's not easy but the marital relationship should come first because without that, everything is more difficult for your child. I know you can't change where you are right now with the M but it's something to think about.
I understand the sleep issue, I need 8 hrs or I become very crabby. Go out when you can sleep later the next day. There's a solution for every problem.
I agree. The marital relationship needs to come first. We went to a handful of MC sessions about six months ago. The MC talked about the balance between "me time," "us time," and "S time.".
