Is it possible to still have the kids looked after even for a day so you cab still spend time together. Get away from home even just locally and research beforehand some fun free stuff to do in the community. Perhaps a picnic lunch you've packed at home. Plan a date day and assure him that it's not costing anything. Show him you can still have an be together without it costing anything. Being the sole wage earner he is probably constantly internalising how he is going to support the lives of those most precious to him. Perhaps that's why he is retreating so much too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-473938048875829697.post-82682552294178820682012-09-12T09:19:29.713-07:002012-09-12T09:19:29.713-07:00Well, you have recognized the issues- now what are...Well, you have recognized the issues- now what are you going to do about it? You are not alone in your financial woes but you are one of the few who realize where some of the issues are. Try Gail Van Oxlade for some budgeting tips. Don't give up on your alone time- even if its just coffee at Timmies. That is one thing I regret even though Mark and I are still together, we should have made that more a priority when the kids were younger. Oh, and start that vacation fund- get a jar and start saving your twoonies- soon you will be off to Niagara without any guilt at all.<br />Cheers!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09769288493182859062noreply@blogger.com
