Cindy, Thank you so much for your response. I see a common theme in your list, and it has to with your desparate need for some space and quiet time.
I recognized early (It may be because my W blatently told me so) that my W needed some space. I have been doing my best to honor that. I am pretty much following your list to a "T". I don't know if it will turn things around, but it's my game plan. Probably the biggest frustration right now for her with me is that I don't agree we should D. I'm not really stopping her, but I'm also not helping the process along really well, either. I'm sure she feels like I'm digging my heels in.
