So sorry, ScottCat: I know it is a punch in the gut, right when you thought you were making progress. Well, you are making progress on YOU, so keep it up. I'm sorry.

All I can do is commiserate - as I've said, many similarities: Including that one of us is laid-back about running late (him) and one of us anxious (me) - but the other way around about house chores. These contributed to our problems, too, (although I didn't recognize at the time). We can try to work on our attitudes NOW, but I am beginning to understand that we have to detach from the attitude of doing so to get our spouse back - because both yours and mine are trying to send a consistent message that they are done.

On the positive side, I think my kids are doing better now: How are yours? If doing well, concentrate on the positive.
