Sounds like you guys are having a good summer. I'm glad you're getting to spend some QT with her. You sound good too. Are you healing from all those years of walking on eggshells and being treated the way you were? I don't mean to bring up painful memories...I'm just interested in the learning/understanding/healing process for women who were on the receiving end of anger and resentment from their spouses.
"Always go straight forward, and if you meet the devil, cut him in two and go between the pieces." - William Sturgis, clipper ship captain, 1830's.
