Getting back on track again now I think/hope. It felt as though I'd slipped back a couple of weeks.
I had a 'nice' talk with my counsellor and did the 'stand over here as an observer, look at the couple in your marriage: what would you say to them' thing.
Rang my wife afterwards and told her I'm planning to take the kids away for my second week's holiday soon to visit an old friend. I made the call short and business like - I had to check if it's OK to take the car - then asked to speak to each of them for a chat which was lovely.
