Our spouses/loved one don’t understand how mentally challenging it can be for us to do so. But hey we all have to do things we don’t really want to.

When was the last time you had a decent conversation with your wife ? About anything??

I hope tonight you will be able to get more sleep
Thanks Christina.

I was with my wife for 14 hours straight last weekend when we went to the u.s. for the day. We spoke about a lot of things.

I try to be better at speaking at home, it's just hard to muster even more effort at the end of a difficult day.

I appreciate your perspective.
