Hi Ingrid,

You sounded great in your last post- very positive. I'm so glad you survived "the talk".

About counseling, could you wait a bit and see how things progress between the 2 of you before mentioning it to him?

H and I need to make time together a priority - just get it on the schedule, and do something. My biggest struggle is really the guilt I feel doing things without the kids. That's a small price to pay for keeping their family intact, though - I'll have to start looking at it that way instead: that we're spending time together to give them the solid home we both want them to have, not taking anything away from them.


I have felt the same way about going out without the kids, especially when we both work full-time. Guilt is not a productive thing. Now I know that we need to go out regularly and I know that I need to be the one to suggest it.
