Hey, sorry about the hijacking... sometimes we just get off on tangents around here... but I think you can learn from the side street trips, too.
I have to say I see a lot of positives going on with your situation. The fact that your wife is willing to go to a MC and work with you on issues is very, very positive. I think because most men wait until they hit the wall to find help, it becomes very difficult to have patience while you work through your issues. But as many men can tell you on this board, getting your wife to recognize that there is even a problem to begin with is half the battle.
Make Xmas merry as much as you can with that dreaded flu. Read your SSM, making sure to read the part of the book directed at HDs about their LD spouses, and breathe for a bit. You've got some work ahead of you, but you'll get there!
