I will write a proper post over the weekend when I have more time. In the meantime read through what I previously said to Tyguy and Tiredofpain - they were in different situations, but I think there were some common themes running through (just click on my name and you will be able to access all my previous posts). What I will say at this stage is that I think both you and your wife have issues, such that at the moment you are neither of you getting the best out of the other. Have a think about the questions I've posed for other guys on this board, and to what extent your own answers to the same questions may give you some insight into your current situation. I will add some specific observations later on this weekend. Stay cool,

"A man can be destroyed but not defeated" - from The Old Man and the Sea, by Ernest Hemingway.
Which I take to mean that every man has within him a spirit of relentlessness and optimism. Its already there; he just has to cultivate it.
