Divorce not busted 3

[Orich]

I'm trying, coach. It's difficult living together, I mean, she is right there. She can overhear phone conversations, see exactly what I am doing, etc. With two young kids it's hard to get away. Detaching is difficult, too for the same reasons.
One of my 180's is to do more around the house. Now I do almost everything. I take out trash and recyclables. I empty the dishwasher. I do the laundry. While I was off I washed and waxed the kitchen floor, did the wood floors, scrubbed the counters, etc. I did those things because it is my house too, and I wanted it to look as good as possible. I didn't get a single comment or anything, and I didn't expect to. When I didn't get a comment, it didn't bother me. The point being, I am making changes in myself, and trying to detach from her. I still look for validation that my changes make a difference, so I have to work on that. Basically being at home together really makes it difficult to take the focus off her. I never know what to do during those times. Once the kids are in bed and it is just the two of us I look for things to do. I don't want to sit and watch TV because that was one of her complaints in MC. I go to the gym some nights, but not all.
