Just wanted to drop in for an update. Life continues to be mostly good and we are even trying for kids (!). Things have really turned around (knock on wood) - in the last 6 months, he has stopped working nights and received a promotion and two raises; I received a promotion and a raise. We are looking at a bigger house. He is sweet, caring, affectionate, and funny. We go spend time together at our favorite cafe after work a few times a week, go for walks at night, and are planning a much-needed vacation. Sex life is much better. Things that had previously escalated in tension, we are both better at giving each other what we need. Life isn't perfect, and things could always go downhill, but it just feels night and day from this time last year.
