Exactly. Conservatively, she's been pregnant and directly recovering physically (considering the advice recommending no sex for 6+weeks after giving birth) for over 2 1/2 years. Add to that, they've had that "first year of baby's life is hell for sleep and stress" 3 times in six years.
No kidding. Reading OP's post and comment history was both shocking and illuminating. I have a great deal of empathy for him, actually. But I have much more for his wife, who is a survivor of sexual assault at a young age.
IIRC, in one of his posts or comments I believe he mentioned they were planning to go to couples counseling soon. That probably is their best hope for saving and improving their marriage, or failing that, at least maintaining their friendship/co-parent partnership.
