Trying to make it work

[soul_mate]

I don't think it so much that I am afraid of her leaving, but I don't want to push things in the wrong direction. I feel as though being assertive or dominant at this point will only have a negative impact unless I do it at the right time. I know at some point I will have to be assertive if I am to ever get the R I want. She admits to having a difficult time balancing work, kids, herself, and marriage. Her current thought on everything is that if we just escaped the "Big city rat race" and moved somewhere were her income was not a required that things would be good and she would be able to balance. Maybe she is right on this because things were much better when she did not work.
