hey, just wanted to say, "been there, done that". 15th aniversary this past May, followed shortly thereafter by a birthday...then Father's day. She threw me a bone around Father's day, motivated mostly by guilt. that was the last time. sliding back to the old routine is probably pretty common. change is hard. I haven't posted here in a long time...but shortly after I mustered up the courage to give DW the book, she read it, and things did improve for a short time. But then she told me that it was just too hard. "sorry, but I can't". that was that. so...back to the drawing board.
