Don't throw away good opportunities for a connection.
Uhhh, yeah... that's something that we NEVER EVER do alone - shop. We either have the kids with us or we have the kids + inlaws with us. In fact, we haven't done anything "alone" since May 22 (our anniversary), and that was dinner and a movie. I think we "use" other people as shields so that we don't have to be alone together. Isn't that funny?

Yes, that's just hilarious. I'm ROTFCMEO (rolling on the floor crying my eyes out). I always used to think that my W and I never went out because we were "too busy" or because W didn't want to "worry about the kids", but now I have a sneaking suspicion that she just "doesn't want to be alone with me". Must have been something I ate.
Try smaller chunks of intimacy, like going out on walks. If you get far enough away she can't easily get away from you, but she's close enough to home that she will still feel safe.
Even my W will go out on walks.
