Good Morning!

Yeah @TAB ..... I called “just friends” earlier this week. There’s one not dealing with mh issues, so I’m letting go of trying to find / keep in step. Sharing house, kids, lifestyle still, but the couple’s thing can’t work like this ..... and I can’t share The Regimen ..... so ....

Friends might work better for now. We’ll see. There will still likely be long term health consequences for him, but he can’t see that.

Anyway, coffee at the river was nice.

Hi @Shaz51 Lovely you survived your big trip.

@TAB

I have been typing for hours today on here.

Gotta go soon.

Cheers All

Glad WH was reined in on the walk. @Faith-and-Hope Maybe you just need to be firm about "being friends" rather than take on too many troubling behaviours. Some hubbies have higher standards for friends than wives.

Hello @Appleblossom how are you xx

Think it will lower the strain @Appleblossom ..... which is likely to lower his anxiety levels.

If we are going to live with this long term, then it needs to be worked out on a practical level, and nobody can force him to seek treatment ..... but I can’t be harnessed to his untreated mh issues either. If he were living on his own, he would come across as a rather harmless health kook who could knock himself out on this lifestyle ..... but trying to operate with it as a family is just too hard.

Baby dragons are all grown now, so I guess it’s one way of moving on, albeit unconventional in a sense ..... but there are probably more couples living like this at our age than anybody stops to think about really. It’s just defining something that has already happened.

Feeding the dragons ..... back later .....

@enigma thank you for the good morning wishes. Hope to catch up with you soon my friend. Have been thinking of you. Happy new year and all the best for 2018 xox
