Hi Stew.

Glad to know your weekend went well albeit with a little glitch.

Vent here as much as you can. You have friends and confidants listening. Don't vent at home because all it will do is pull W away and then put your sitch 2 steps back.

I know exactly what you mean when you say your W is too tired to talk or do stuff with you but when she's out she has a lot of energy. My W does the same. For the two nights she goes out she can stay up until the wee hours but for other nights she uses them to catch up on some rest. In the meantime I (or we) are waiting for a chance to talk, do something, anything. It's worse when we're in the car. She sleeps while I drive. When she finally catches up with rest I'm already too tired late in the day to do other things. We're on opposite ends.

Good luck in the next couple of weeks. At least you'll get plenty of time to spend with the W. Make the most of it. Just play it by ear and watch the alcohol. It really impairs judgment and reason.

Prayers for you.
