GH, to follow up on PL, I think this is the hill to die on (so to speak). You need multiple babysitters, so that you aren't dependent on one person. You need to use other opportunities like the "parents night out" programs that so many churches have, or the Disney kids' clubs that I mentioned to you a while back. You need to tell W, in a clear but pleasant way:

"There's no way we can work on having a real marriage if we never have the opportunity to have fun together. I believe that this is THE critical issue in our marriage."


The LORD is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth." (Psalm 145:18)
