There are teacher jobs in Alberta! We're a very clean province if you don't live by any oil refineries~

My 10 yr old said something like "I ignore those sounds at night"...I hope she means the neighbours...!!

Maybe if your kids heard, they wouldn't care. We all say "yuck" to the idea, but if someone asked if they wanted their parents to do it, I think adults understand it is important in a marriage and would feel better about it.

I can't remember if you said you were going to an IC yourself. If you are about to start, maybe you could get one that deals with sex related problems, too. Has she already passed menopause or is it just starting? Maybe there's some reason a doc, or an IC could work out with you or both of you.

Good luck with the MC tomorrow - I hope you can find a way to get your best side out there to sell her on future counselling. I found it hard to not get into an argument with my W. Not helpful at all...
