Yeah, I've considered that in the past but we've been married for 11 years and we're really good at working things out. This is not that serious or I wouldn't be turning to internet message boards for answers. Despite how it seems, my family is most important to me. This has just started getting sticky and I will not let it get to the point of destroying what I've been working on for 11 years. My family.
