[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How was DL from spouse’s perspective? All my teacher friends reported that this was basically the year from h***. Could it be that he started the summer burnt out? Of course, it’s July now, but if he started the summer with a bad screen habit, it’s so easy to just keep floating along. Moreover, it may not have clicked that he’s had enough time because he doesn’t feel rested yet. I would approach him with a problem-solving attitude. “What do you need to happen to feel fully-rested?” will get you a lot farther than “ Stop farting around.”[/quote] Not that you should *have* to do this, but he’s clearly struggling. Being almost over-compassionate will disarm him in a way that will increase the chances of getting what you seem to want: a spouse who will get off the couch and host summer camp in your backyard.
