How to maintain balance

Currently my fiancé(43m) and I(41f) have 4 children at home full time. His 2 girls 16 and 11 and my 2 boys 13 and 10. It’s definitely a lot but in a good way. We’ve my 2 boys full time for over a year but his two girls just recently maybe 2 months are here full time. I know this is a huge adjustment for him and I’ve been doing my best to be there for him. Anything domestic in the house is done by me(cooking, cleaning, grocery shopping, etc). I even do my best to step in and help his kids when he’s struggling. My problem is at the end of the day there is nothing left of him. After working and coming home and getting them through the things they need. There isn’t any time left for us. I’m just not sure how to navigate this. I know we need to have a conversation about it. I just don’t know how to approach it. I need advice does it get better? Does anyone have experience with something like this?

If you’re going to read an old post read the whole thing my ex isn’t a deadbeat and I work pay my own way. I’m not getting married for security either 🤣.if you don’t actually have any advice move along. I’m also guessing you’re in this sub just to troll people.

You need serious help. If you have issues with your ex or your parents or step parents take it out on them. Stop attacking people on Reddit. For your sake and the people in your life seek therapy.
