I'm guilty of blowing this big time. For me, any time away from the kids was automatically CD time. Might be couples time, too, but it was CD time. Particularly out of town. It may sound improbable, but I really didn't know it bothered her. She thought she was doing something for me by not objecting (which she was), but it the long run it drove that wedge a little deeper every time it happened. You HAVE to talk about it, and you shouldn't feel compelled to give in. You should be able to say "No CDing this time", and he should (must) respect that and enjoy just being with you. Talking about it openly is the hardest, or it was for us.
