WeRide,
Any suggestions gratefully accepted, and yes it has been a pretty discouraging time. Once the kids are grown and gone and it's just the two of you, then you learn exactly what you still have left between the two of you. In our case it was something of a shock to discover that dealing with her 2 kids was so time-consuming that it effectively masked our lack of connection outside of them. She used to be Special Olympics swim coach (her daughter was in it's swim program for many years), so she knows how, it's just exercise that she is unwilling to do in any form. Having her look at my swim technique ( or lack of technique :-) ) might be a good way of trying to reconnect. Thanks for the inspiration.
Chris
