At the beginning of r, I really felt close to Wh.  He was getting sober, confessed tons of stuff, and was trying so hard 
 
 
	Now we live together, and are fully R. 
 
 
	He has a tough job, and I stay at home with the kids.  Plus, he is bipolar I, so he needs decompression time (ie, go up to the bedroom & read sleep watch TV for hours) 
 
 
	Yesterday I was so tired.  And he just went straight to bed at 6 when he got home..  Didn't eat dinner with us.  Got up at 830 pm, and by then I'm dragging. 
 
 
	Why do I stay?  I like being a sahm, I like the fact that by R with him, I won't miss a holiday or weekend or birthday ever again.  We were in divorce court for a year before R and it was hell. 
 
 
	We don't even sleep in the same bed, at the end of the day, I just want ME time so I fall asleep alone on the couch reading or watching TV.
