Congrats on the professional engineer license! Did they give you one of those cool hats, too?
Don't have the license yet, have to send in the application and have 5 other engineers vouch for my experience. Then I get a cool stamp and they teach me the secret handshake. No hat, but maybe an upgraded pocket protector.

Sorry to hear about the divorce talk. I'm sure that you've given it lots of thought (and it looks like more thought is in the works). And, as you probably know, there is never a convenient time to talk about divorce. Kudos to you for having the strength to talk with her about it at this difficult time.
I don't know if it was strength. We've been talking about long term financial decisions in the past couple weeks, and W would make the joking comment "Well, we could do it this way, but you better not divorce me." We've been using this type of gallows humor on each other for years, but this time it really hit home. I really felt like the things I was contemplating, and not telling her about, were a form of dishonesty.
Time to look for marriage counselors, but I might also look for sex therapists. Also, I'm going to get my wife more involved in the process of selecting and contacting one. I came out of our discussion feeling I was the only one holding the rope, yet again. She will not lead. That's OK. But I need her to be a part of the process and take ownership over this problem. It's not just my problem.

The Buddha within me? Hmm, that might explain my weight problems.
