Less mafia, more eating out. And a restaurant or two will help also.

As long as there are no kids involved, not so bad a thing to know when enough is enough. No easy answer, sorry...

If you're serious, counselling is a positive option.

Other than that, its about communication and understanding why it is rocky; then taking corrective action.

Been with wife 7 1/2 years, heard her say she wasn't happy any more last night.

I want to say if that's the case I will go but got 3 young kids together and don't want to leave.

Not looking forward to when I get home tonight. Either we will talk about it or more then likely have another day when we barely say a word to each other.

We have had our problems in the past like any normal relationship.

But it's the first time I have heard he say that.

Not sure what to do.

I dot want to leave but I also don't want the kids growing up with parents that are only together for the kids sake. It never works.

Geez Thor, that would be a big kick to the guts.

Mrs smbn and I have 12 years under the belt and despite a number of heated conversations have never felt that way. I hope a productive talk can get things moving in a good direction.

Pnd could be one thing as dani pointed out. Any real changes in her general mood lately? Would more encouragement help, or even an extra take home meal a week lift her mood?

Don't think so.

We had a bit of a problem the other week when my sister showed up to our house out of the blue.

I had barely spoken to my sister in close to 3 years because she refused to come to our wedding because I didn't want her dickhead boyfriend there.

Wife has her own problems with her aswell ( sister told everyone that wife was only with me to get with my brother)

So after a couple of days not really talking we went out for dinner without the kids and she thought I was pissed off at her because the way she reacted when my sister showed up. Told her it was fine and that I wasn't too happy about it either.

She hasn't had much sleep due to both daughters waking up during the night and refusing to go back to sleep. The problem is is that I'm a heavy sleeper so I don't hear the kids until they scream the house down.

Communicate. Sit down and talk to her mate. Ask her why she feels that way.

One foot in front of the other. Don't let your mind go racing off onto "what ifs."

Cross bridges as you come to them.

The first bridge is just to sit down and talk. It's more than likely the only bridge that needs crossing.

Good luck mate.
