Christa and Hopefull - thank you so much for your responses. You rock! I am praying for you both. I can also offer you the H perspective if you wish. I will take your advice and see what I can do. Admittely I am feeling conflicted. The LRT contains a lot of not spending quality time with my W, where emotional distance and lonliness is one of her chief issues with me in the past. However I do not want her to feel crowded or pressurd and I think that just being around me gives her that feeling. I am ask my DB coach about this and what to do next.
