I'm glad you have a good doctor Calli.
I'm having plenty of stress right now. I feel kind of adrift with the marriage problems.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Oh Gud, you're struggling so hard. I so hope you two get to some place where you're not, very soon.
That sounds like a good doctor, Calli. And a good stress management system.
I'm so sorry, Gud. I wish I could help in some way.
Pfft. You know the FIRST thing you're going to make them all do is get haircuts.
Pshaw. JZ and Juliana already have short hair. Ple will dabble in it occasionally when it suits her mood and Jilli is best suited to Jilli hair. I would certainly never presume to tell any of them how to express their style since they're all very good at their own style, which is what I appreciate best.
Besides I never make anybody do anything. Though sometimes there is the siren lure of seduction to the shorn side.
I'm sorry, Gud. I have no useful advice, having never tried marriage myself, but I hope you and Ms. Gud can get to a better place soon.
a Gud place even
I feel like things are sort of my fault right now because when I try to do things to improve the situation I feel like I'm going through the motions rather than really having the emotion behind it and when I do that it doesn't work. Thanks for the good wishes though.

That's unduly harsh on yourself, Gud. Your wife has a more than equal share in "alienating your affection" (as the old legal phrase would have it).
Gud, I am so sorry. I hope some forward momentum happens soon, for both your sakes. Being in a limbo of hurt and angry feelings is the loneliest and saddest feeling in the world.

Maybe that's part of the problem, but I wouldn't call that your (or anyone's) fault. I'm really sorry things are going hard for you two, and hopefully this too shall pass, but try not to beat yourself up any more than you have to.
