Well, the threat of imminent divorce didn't materialise as such, although I wonder if we're not just storing up a lifetime of resentment and frustration at being forced to be civil to each other just for the sake of the kids. I do love G though, and I think she loves me, and we do make a lovely family. We're just stressed (with 3 such young kids) and poor (with no second income). Put all that together and add a complete lack of time and I defy any relationship to survive unbattered.

In other news, things are looking more positive. G is looking to start her own small business on the premise that you never get rich working for someone else. I'm right behind her, but I'm a bit annoyed that I can't give her a "nest-egg" of cash to start out with. perhaps I'll just bite-the-bullet and give her some money from the overdraft on the understanding that she pays it back when she's earning... that's probably not such a bad idea actually. I'm pretty sure she'll make a bloody good go at it, and she should get some real success if she works hard. At least that might ease our financial troubles, then as the kids get a bit older (and a bit less demanding) we should find things improve.

Good day at work today - manage to get rid of a HUGE piece of work which I was landed with after a colleague went on maternity leave. Looked like it was going to go on for months, but my protestations were heard. Hoorah!
