More updates:

Now that I am working again Mrs. Cinco is thinking about finding a different job. She is realizing that the crazy hours she is working really do suck. I never said this out loud to her but I thought, "Why in the world would you accept a job like that? I know I wouldn't."

So with the idea being all her own, she is looking for something with better hours. I'm really glad because we need more opportunities for time together rather than Saturday night being the only chance for ML.

Speaking of every Saturday night... that has been the pattern we have fallen into. Once a week on Saturday night ML. I really want more though and I have expressed my desire for more from her. Not only frequency but more enthusiasm. It still feels like an obligation and I hate that.

I am almost to the one year mark of working on my M. I know I should be happy with the progress that we have made. I never thought that I would get even to this point. As said above though, without any real enthusiasm from her I can't say that this is how I want to live. I get the bare minimum effort from her but no more. There are still times when I feel like I am just annoying her and she wishes I would just drop the wanting to ML thing.

I do see that now things are better than they were, I just don't want to settle for anything less than what I truly want.
