Post-Mortem

Simon's gone, and we are a family of three again. The publicity tour for my book appears to be winding down, and I've been at home more. This, of course, has caused (or re-caused) its own set of problems: too much togetherness.

As my wife, Christine, tells me: Many married couples, forced into new circumstances of togetherness, find their love for each does, in fact, know some bounds. Or, put another way: In sickness and in health, for better and for worse, but not for lunch.

I'm curious about your experiences. Anyone had to adopt to the re-emergence of a spouse into their daily routine? If so, was it a net positive, or negative, and any suggestions for survival?

Re-emergence? I work with my wife. She has been our firm administrator since we opened in January 1999 (she was the only one who would work for free). The kids were ready to divorce us because all they heard about was the office.

Much has changed. The kids are older and appreciate what the success of the new practice means to them. Much is the same. My wife and I sometimes find ourselves engrossed in office conversation when we have free time.
