Jak and Matilda, I will plan on having conversations with those who have been to Hawaii. My W will need to be patient. This trip needs to be researched and planned for. If she needs a quick vacation, we'll have to consider somewhere else for this spring or summer.
The meeting with the financial planner does seem like a baby step. It's almost like a form of marital counseling--having a third party help us to discuss and problem-solve around a difficult topic.
My W is trusting me to help with more of the cooking job, doing those tasks she dislikes, and which I don't mind doing. She said recently, that maybe she shouldn't be pushing me to get a part-time job, as I'm helping so much with the cooking job.
We've started playing online Scrabble, and enjoy it. She has beaten me every game so far. She has a knack for creating words out of impossible situations.
