I really don't have a problem with my *own* identity. I know who I am and especially who I am in Christ Jesus, the only true source of identity and value. Being a wife is VERY important to me-that's totally true. The vocation of husband/wife are second only to child of God.
So I have to tell you all about today/tonight. Today, I made appointments w/a DB coach *tentatively* on Friday. Hopefully work will let that happen.... and I made an appointment with a local IC (via a work-related program where you get a few counseling sessions for free - hopefully they're any good. He'll probably sharpshoot every single thing...but it's none of his business (snort - there's a ironic pun) right now. That's set for the end of the month - only time I could get. Anyway, I had made up my mind to basically occupy myself with stuff tonight. After the girls went to bed, he went out into the garage and is still there now. Banging away at something - he keeps buying stuff *ALL THE FREAKING TIME*... money has been on his mind more lately, and he's spent it a LOT. This is kinda new. Anyway, so no spew - and I didn't even say anything.

At a counselor, he said he wanted the marriage but not to work on himself w/a IC. Piecing?
