Thanks Rick. I largely took her off the pedestal a while ago I think... but not focusing on her is something I need to keep working at. It's so easy to do.
I'm in largely the same place I hope. I come and go as I want, though with three small kids in the house we do have to do a bit more coordinating with each other. We do have small talk conversations and share funny stories about the kids. Thank god for funny stories about the kids.
It just gets much harder when she enters these funks where she's negative, withdrawn, and angry. Though I just realized in another post that she may be coming off one her "high cycles" over the past two weeks which are typically followed by a week or so of "low cycle". Just have to buckle in I guess.
