You're right rose. I should be doing that and I have said that in the past on a couple of occassions, but we seem to be snapping at each other alot more. She has been away a couple of times without the kids and she's stayed in a nice hotel and had the nice breakfast etc, and she does seem alot happier when she comes home, but it's short lived. 2 weeks ago, she was booked into a floristry course as she loves working with flowers, only to find out when she got there, the course had been cancelled. I told her to stay in the city and to enjoy her time. Told her to go and have a nice lunch and to just walk around in the city and to have some time to herself. I do try to make the most of the opportunities to give her some "her time", but I don't think it's been enough. She is the type of person who needs her own time to try to recharge, and I try to give her that time, but what she gets from that time is short lived.
