[QUOTE="CV355, post: 16113534, member: 181885"] 1) Do not have kids until the marriage situation is resolved 2) Ask yourself if you want to improve the marriage, and if she does 3) Buy this book and handle one chapter a night between the both of you: [URL='https://www.5lovelanguages.com/']Discover Your Love Language - The 5 Love Languages®[/URL] Most of the book sounds like common sense but it really hit home. I won't go into a lot of detail, but my marriage felt some pain over the past few years. Work became more demanding, more punishing, and it hit a point where it consumed almost all of my life. My wife was supportive, but I knew her needs were being temporarily neglected while I was focusing on keeping a roof over our heads (keyword temporarily). 6 months turned into a year, turned into 4 years straight of a completely unhealthy (near fatal, actually) workaholic lifestyle.

I strongly recommend giving it a shot. [/QUOTE]
