Thanks Bug, good advice as always. I feel I am doing better with not focusing on the money too much. My W knows what our sitch is and hopefully will engage in a solution as she starts working more. I think as it comes up in MC it will get the attention it needs as well.
For now, I am being supportive and living my life with the stuff I like as well. We are doing more family things which is great but I am paying attention to keeping my own interests and not losing myself.
I'd be curious for some examples of what you ladies think is "playful affection". I think a challenge for me is that W has pushed me away for so long I'm not quite sure how to be playful with her as it was so unwelcomed for so long. I guess one thing is to let go of the fear of rejection and just do it. (Come on Ro, I know you've got some ideas in there....:)
Afa - thanks for stopping in. I love that song! Sang it a lot when we were expecting our son nearly 14 year ago! Its definitely been the hardest 2 years of my life but the light at the end of the tunnel is brighter and I can at least tell its not a train!
