No doubt this has been our greatest challenge. Our relationship went from a relationship to zone defense parenting.

Wait you're leaving out the whole having your body and mind invaded for 9 months part.

Never been her complaint. What has been missing is we have been 0% spouses, lovers, friends.


Earlier you said she hadn't told you her complaints. Is this something she told you?

Quote:
Her inability to sleep these days is more related to the guilt, pressure, confusion, etc.


Again, did she tell you this?

Let me give up the need to know why things happen as they do.
I will never know and constant wondering is constant suffering.
