Don't think about it!

There, nice simple advice! Easier said than done, I know.

She's history, you are the one he comes home to and wants to have babies with.

I wish I was full of energy, I have not done an ouncse of work and the house is a wreck (and poor H cleaned while I was gone). My goal is to be flylady-organized before he comes back.

Can you kid swap with any of your friends so you can have a night out without paying for a sitter? You could go for an evening picnic somewhere.

Or do the kids go to bed early? Get them off to bed and do a candle lit dinner, like candles gone wild in the entire room, maybe some xmas lights, best dishes, some fancy food that is easy to cook and have your own romantic evening? With your new underwear on! Maybe some nice high heels! Create your own date in your home.

M, I understand the tip-toeing, the beginning was almost easier, no persuing, no phone calls, etc, but the rebuilding of trust and that feeling of us against the world is difficult, but I really think you are well on your way to having a better M than before.

Good luck.
