Hey K! Yes, your post was very clear and I also liked the long list you made of things your H has done to help "this effort" as you two refer to it!

I also vote for the holiday.. can you get some enthusiasm up about it? Can you whip some up in him (ok, ok, maybe!!) get some brochures out, or send him links to lovely places to stay?? Can you arrange to go somewhere where they might have a babysitting service (hmm, that means bigger place, or holiday complex, I dont know about you,but I hate those!!) but if you did, you could suggest to H that during the relaxing holiday..away from work and routines as he said, you also get time together, without the kids??

Seems you are still trying. I cant believe he tried to claim he forgot about the phonecall and you needing an answer !! Acutally, I can believe it, and maybe he felt he gave it (non-verbally) by asking to come over and stay the night.

I agree with some that maybe its time to do something a bit different, toward him maybe? Do you flirt with him at all nowadays? I try with my bf every day, but he just looks at me sideways like I have lost my mind !!! So maybe, dont try that.

Hugs and love xxx
