That was a pretty good article, thanks for sharing.

Also Confluences, I'm glad you haven't given up hope. Have you considered how to give her financial piece of mind while not completely giving up that risky/ entrepreneurial part of who you are? Aside from money have you tackled whatever other areas of concern she's had?

Needingmore, I'm not sure about MIL. My H said he talked to her but didn't give me much insight into the conversation. I'm still not sure if she's coming or not and if she comes she'll arrive in 2 days.

On the positive I brought up an undesirable topic with H and he didn't run for the hills for a change. I told him I'm starting to feel like I get the "whatever's left" time from him after all his other priorities are met. He doesn't delegate well at work and always works when things come up for his employees. I asked what's the difference between them needing to call off due to family responsibilities vs him having family responsibilities. I asked why he can't make more of an effort to protect his time and let the other employees pick up some of those extra hours. At first he acted angry but in the days that followed that talk he's been over a lot and very loving. He said he doesn't want me to feel like I'm his lowest priority so it seems like he got what I was trying to say.
