She is a great mother and I'm guilty of not telling her that enough. She is very hard on herself and has high expectations of herself and others.
We tried counceling the first time we had some space, but she didn't think it helped. It became a session on our own issues, not issues within our mariage, so when/if she is ready to talk, we won't be going back there.
I've booked a show (tried to find something a little light hearted) and dinner at a restaurant (not a romantic one) for Saturday night. Hopefully its a good night, although I did get a little annoyed when she said she would go, but just as friends. Not sure what that means. We normally spend the night in a hotel in the city, so I think it was her way of saying "don't book a hotel". Thats what I'm hoping.
I've also asked her is she minds if I move into the house when it's in a liveable state before it's completely finished. She was fine with that. I just hope i'm not there alone for to long.
She also refuses to wear her wedding rings. Her reasons were that the rings are a symbol of our vows and comittment, and I havn't been working on our marriage.
