Hey daftdalla, too bad it’s taken so long for a reply to your post, I’m sure people read it and meant to reply, but got distracted!

I just figured out I’m an ADD’er, will be celebrating 40 years of marriage in March, if we’re still together (just kidding!)

It hasn’t been easy for either one of us, but now that I know why I do some of the things I do, I can avoid doing some of them.  Avoidance has been part of my strategy, I have avoided doing projects and initiatives where I know there will be no spousal support.  It makes for a less exciting life, but I can deal with that.

The other kind of spousal support – She has multiple health issues and feels that I don’t give her the support she expects.  I try and do my best, but it just doesn’t seem like enough to her.  When she lowers her expectations, things go better!!

Hopefully things are going better for you now, remember everything is temporary!!!
