I'm in, Wife's Out - Pt. Two

[trc2009]

W has been a couple weeks into her new job and we're all starting to settle into a routine a bit. So far it's been a very good thing. Instead of her staying up until 1-2 in the morning watching TV and texting her friends about God knows what, she pretty much crashes around 9-10. It's pretty clear already that she needed this job badly. Not from a financial standpoint but she fully admitted that she was in her own head. Basically, having too much time to think.

Her and I have been pretty good. We've been getting along very well, we've handled her going back to work transition very well and it seems to be having minimal impact on the kids. Let's hope this continues.

The affection is sparse. No kissing or sex. But there is at least some physical contact. I'm sure every couple who is piecing is different in the physical stuff coming back to a marriage. We've been living together again for a couple of months and I can say things have been very good the last 4-5 weeks or so.

I try not to be too concerned about the physical stuff because obviously that's not all of what a marriage is about. We've done so well with some of the other stuff over the last month or two that I'm trying to focus on the positive of that instead of worrying about when the affection will start again. I guess that happens when you become sex starved!
