_________________________ P (-), M (-), E (-), T (1), C (4) This has been one of the weirdest weeks! I went from being steady at work and working to balance my work/home life to having pretty much NO work life. This COVID-19 pandemic has shut the service sector down in the industrial world...

_________________________ P (-), M (-), E (-), T (1), C (4) Another week that has been busy with a lot of work commitments, and household needs that are getting further behind, and a pair of parents who are getting increasingly frustrated. My wife and I are pretty well connected lately, I...

_________________________ P (-), M (-), E (-), T (1), C (4) Last week was not as busy as some of the previous weeks have been. I know I'm about to get busier again in the coming weeks, with some traveling to do. My wife has been having difficulty sleeping again, and she assures me it is not...

_________________________ P (-), M (-), E (-), T (1), C (3) It's been an extremely busy week - with early mornings and busy evenings. Sorry I haven't had time to journal. I learned Friday that my wife is AMAZING at talking to our 13 year old son about some depression issues. My wife also...

_________________________ P (-), M (-), E (-), T (2), C (4) I have had a pretty good week, considering. My wife and I have been very well connected this week, I think. We both have our things going on, of course, but we've been spending time together and and enjoying each other's company...

_________________________ P (-), M (-), E (-), T (1), C (3) It's been a decent couple of days. Took care of our van over the weekend, which took up most of my time (brakes, rotors, etc.). I know my wife has been dealing with flare-ups of BT for the past week or two, and coupled with her...

@Hameilixia - It really is possible to get those numbers...but you 1) be determined to change FOR YOUR OWN BETTERMENT, and 2) be willing to put up strong walls around you. My internet filter is the best defense, because it takes so much of the thinking out of it. I don't even have to worry...

_________________________ P (-), M (-), E (-), T (1), C (3) I've been less busy the past couple of days, which is great for me - time to breathe and focus! I started a new routine of going to the gym early in the morning before work, and that really helped me stay on track all day. I spent 30...

_________________________ P (-), M (-), E (-), T (1), C (4) I've had a string of really good days recently. My wife and I have been pretty well connected, and have been communicating well. Even though she's been less outwardly affectionate in the past couple of days, I am able to handle it...

Commitment wanes, it eventually dies. Keep recommitting!

_________________________ P (-), M (-), E (-), T (2), C (4) Things feel like they've gotten back on track a bit in the past couple of weeks for me. My wife and I have been talking more and trying to stay more connected, which has led to some of my anxiety dropping a bit. And as a result, my...

Been a month now since I last wrote anything. The last month really flew by. One thing that drew me back today was trying to figure out how to get through some points of frustration. I am still having some ED issues, and it’s frustrating me AND my wife. For me, it’s aggravating that little...

_________________________ P (-), M (-), E (-), T (2), C (3) Sorry for not writing a new journal entry in a while. It's been very busy lately, and that's not looking to change for the next couple weeks. My wife's Etsy business is in maniac mode for the holidays - keeping her busy nearly 12...

Congratulations on the 100 days! It is important for us to realize that, while we can see dramatic improvement overnight, lasting effects will take time. One of my reboot podcasts mentions that it can take up to two years to fully unhook from your old ways of thinking. That has been very...

Great to hear! I have found that expectations were a cause of anxiety for me as well. My wife is, and has always been (generally) more sexual than I am. It is very liberating to be able to initiate a bonding time with the goal of being "together", with or without it leading to sex...
