Cheesy, I always worry about the being friends stuff. I always hear that you should be friendly but not friends but that is such a difficult thing to achieve, I'm not sure I get it!

Anyway, had my first session with the DB coach and he said that I should be friendly to my H which horrified me so I said but won't H just see me as a friend then? He said yes that is what you want at the moment because (in my situation) you were friends with H for 9 years before you got together so that is valuable to building your relationship. Do you know, I cried when he said that because I think we had lost that from our marriage. Actually I cried lots throughout the whole session, poor Chuck!!

Don't leave me behind can't you see me I'm shining... (Years & Years - 'Shine')
