Just a quick update....emotions have been extremely high which has led to extreme ups and extreme downs. Based on advice from Acc and Mach1, I have asked W to:
- discuss boundaries tomorrow over breakfast - take following 3 weeks off all R work and "just be" - after 3 weeks, we each select a relationship book to read and discuss with each other - reassess after that time whether we need another break
W was absolutely thrilled with this suggestion as she has felt rushed and out of control. We both feel like some down time will help us cool down and settle in for the work that's coming. After discussing, we both immediately felt better....the pressure valve has been released.
