[quote=Anonymous]DH and I have had issues in our relationship for a long time. We tried counseling a few years ago but nothing stuck. We both work full time and have a 5 year old. Long story short, I've had health issues which finally got to the point of me needing to take a leave of absence from work to get things under control.

It's been about a month and things are so much better in our relationship and our household is a much less tense place. We're spending a lot more time together and enjoying our time together. There's a lot more laughter, even though dealing with my health issues hasn't been fun. I know that taking away the stress of my job and what that means for our daily life is big, but we can't forego my salary so it's not an option to not return to work.

I am kind of dreading going back to reality because I don't want us going back to that place where we were both stressed all the time and took it out on each other. I really hate exposing our child to that.  I'm not sure what concrete steps we can take to lessen the chances of that happening.

Any suggestions?[/quote]
