I would really love to but my job kind of requires that I work those hours. I agree that my work is not worth sacrificing my marriage but my W and I are in a finacial crunch right now. I really can't afford it. I am also a full time student and the semester is also over next week so I will have two additional days off a week that I haven't had for a while. I can dedicate those days to "us" and see how that goes. She has always been so supportive of me professionally and wants me to do well so I'm torn a bit with that.

I really feel like just keeping my head down and focusing on the things that she (and I honestly) feel have been lacking in our relationship. I have a bit of a problem with being responsible with financial matters and house related things. I agree that I have always dropped the ball with those things. I think focusing on doing that stuff will help my confidence that even with the threat (or promise as she would put it) of a D, I can still be pro-active and do the things to bettter myself regardless of how or if she responds to it.
