I don't think my behavior lately has been putting pressure on my W. sure. yeah. she "checks out" and goes up stairs to deal with issues. you got her meeting with marriage counselors, that she's not really in to it, to deal with them. sounds like you-all got separate goals.

what other goals do you have in life?

what sports you do in your free time?

do you have a bicycle? perhaps one of the kid rickshaw trailers? wicked excitement for a couple of 2 year old boys to be flying down the road while drinking from their sippy cups. in a couple years they will think it the coolest thing when you dump it and flip 'em over.
