I'm home now and looking forward to starting the work involved in repairing our relationship. This week is going to be particuarly challenging since we will have my son living with us till next weekend.
The best part of the news is that if I wait until August 2nd before going to a counsellor, the benefits from my job will cover the expenses. Reb and I have been talking about it and we agree that we've had problems this long so waiting another two weeks shouldn't do much more damage. We've also been asking lots of questions of ourselves and each other over the past few weeks and have come up with a list of things to work on together (including a number of things that people have mentioned in this thread).
Understanding what each of us needs in life is the biggest question facing us right now. It sounds easy when you ask yourself "what do I need to keep myself happy?" but when you look at the question and get past the food/shelter/warmth things it gets a bit harder to distinguish between something you want and something you need. If this were easy, we would have done it some time ago.
