Just got back from spending about 5 hours with my wife.
We've been filling out paperwork for some testing we are having done on our oldest. Since day one, her behavior has been a challenge and they are thinking we may be dealing with autism. Needless to say, this has been a tremendous stress on us as a family and its been a source of strife for almost a decade.
We worked well together today. We always have when we have a common goal. However, I felt at a loss for words when we were finished with the papers. We all went to dinner as a family. There were long periods of silence between us. Like we both were only there together because of the kids.
There were lots of times when she spoke only to our children. We have done so little together over the past 6 months that it seems like we don't even know what to talk about anymore. It seemed quite awkward at times. I really have begun to feel much more comfortable when around her for only short periods of time. This is quite disappointing. We used to be so easy together.
