Quick update:

Good week, with one unfortunate relapse that lasted about 20 mins before a light reconciliation. That being said her temper has been a little more volatile than in the past month. Which leads me to believe that there are issues that may be being created or resurfacing.

That being said she is still suffering from low self esteem. We have been trying to get a doctors appointment for this prolonged period but in processing here moves like molasses. Hopefully we'll have an appointment by Monday. We don't even have a home yet, and are living in lodging. These are not excuses just my reality.

I do think that some things especially the important ones can be changed. I came to the realization a month or two ago that in order to build the R I want I need to learn how to for once demand what I want for myself. Even at the risk of my marriage. I had to value myself, and realize that I too deserve to make demands, like being treated fairly and with respect. Yeah youre right I can't change her, but like I chose to change for her. She needs to choose to make changes for me. All that being said for the most part she has. Many dynamics in our R have changed for the better.

The marathon is not over yet, but were definitely getting closer to the finish line.
