Just an update on me, since I've been off-list for a while...
about a month or so ago I started a new job. It's a totally different line of work for me, something I've never ever done. It's hard, but fun. In the time I've been off-list, 2 family members on my side have been victims of affairs. We've been helping them deal as best we can when we have time. Add to that, I am still in grad school (just a few classes left!), my youngest is enlisted and leaving in June right after graduation so we are prepping for that as well. I also have picked up additional duties with our church and another. Needless to say, we have been busy, but the list and you guys are never far from my mind or prayers.
CV Wow with all that do you still maintain your UA time with your wife? If so how much do you get?
FWW/BW (me)
WH
2nd M for both
Blended Family with 7 kids between us
Too much hurt and pain on both sides that my brain hurts just thinking about it all.

CV Wow with all that do you still maintain your UA time with your wife? If so how much do you get? We are very careful about UA time. When I travel 2x a month for the other church, I almost always bring her along (about 3 hrs together in the car talking and such), we ride bikes together in the evenings walk or just talk, usually about 2 hours a night. She also takes the classes with me (she audits for free). We usually do more than our 15 hour minimum, but have to be careful not to get caught up in other things. Not to say we don't fall short some days depending on what's happening. UA time might be one of the most important elements of maintaining a healthy marriage, so we are careful with it. CV
