[quote=Anonymous]This can go both ways. It's exactly my situation when DW is away. Everything is so much calmer and more manageable. Her anxiety and condescension sap so much of the family energy, particularly when she's in one of her frequent grumpy moods. When she's away, it's more work to keep everything running - but at the same time it is so much less stressful. An interesting phenomenon. I think this is probably the case for most/all as a PP pointed out (one less body, one less opinion to deal with, etc.). Mental illness in one of the partners just makes the contrast so much more apparent when that person is absent.[/quote]
