Hey DQ, glad to see you back... sounds like you had an awesome vacation *green with envy*.
It was very hard for me to talk to her to get the ball rolling on counseling. I was scared to mention it because I knew it would create tension and end in a fight. At the same time I knew it was the only way through to resolving our problems. I really have put this off far too long, but now I have the courage to carry this through. I had to begin with the changes in myself first and then I could work towards the changes for our relationship.
I forgot to mention that I did ask for her half of the help to work with me on this. I will hold her responsible for her part. I think she is upset my unwillingness to put our marriage on hold until D is out of college and on her own (6+ years from now).
Thanks to you, Ali, Baggy, Bear and most of all God, I have turned myself around to face my marriage again and to do what is right to get through this.
