I agree with Meg - it sounds like you have made some real progress by getting things out in the open. It can be really hard to admit things as you say, but you've done well to discuss the issues openly and honestly!

Absolutely every marriage has it's ups and downs, and even though you hit a rough patch at 5 months, I'm sure it will make you both stronger and wiser people for it. I'm sure that if you can get through this together, you will be able to face whatever life throws your way. It can be hard to see that at the time though!

I hope the UTI has cleared up too - ouchies!! I know that in the past until I could get to the Doctor I put a teaspoon of bicarb of soda in a glass of water and drank that - it really relieved the burniness and I wasn't going to the loo as much! It's only a temporary fix to help neutralise what's in your bladder, but it might be worth remembering for next time (hopefully there won't be one though LOL).

Enjoy your new bed Meg - sounds like bliss!!
