Married life - "Superman/woman" syndrome
I've been married for almost 3 years now and I'm afraid I'm experiencing what I call "superman syndrome". This is because I was married almost 2 weeks after being raped by an ex. If it helps, we were both in the military and we're dating about 4 months before that. Due to all the promises and care I had after the assault, I didn't think twice about our swift decision. I know it already sounds iffy but it was a difficult time for me.
Fast forward to now, and we're both in college (yay gi bill) and we have a beautiful son. I feel as though I've lost the "spark" between us, but the unconditional love is there. I wear the pants in the relationship and focus far more on school than my husband does. And to make it worse, I am the first serious relationship my husband has ever been in. Although, he'll help with errands and loves our son to death, he doesn't work and is always playing video games as I'm (now) actively looking for work on top of clinical (med) school. I'm too exhausted to continuously remind him of his "fatherly" roles because he's grown.
Any advice? :(
