One thing I'm worried about is the "tempo" I'm setting with all of this. It seems impossible to gauge whether you are pushing things too fast until you get down the road and look backwards.

Statistically, I have 14 years left on the planet. My guess is that you are a good 15 +years younger than me.

Point is, that there is nothing wrong with you backing off for a couple of weeks to give the concrete time to cure. Green concrete is weak and brittle. Since it is a hydrate, it cures over time. It gains tensile strength and hardness.

Your wife has made a lot of changes. Make sure you give her some 'cure' time. You can afford the wait.

I will ferret out an affair at any opportunity.

-An affair is the embodiment of entitlement, fueled by resentment and lack of respect.
-An infidel will remain unreachable so long as their sense of entitlement exceeds their ability to reason.
