Every time I read your posts about you and Laura, I am so impressed by the both of you.
I'm going to type this even though it may come off as ageist and condescending: It seems a lot of the issues you guys are going through may be tied into the age difference. That is, you've lived more of your life and are used to having things a certain way, which involves expectations of accountability, updating, etc. On the other hand, she's at the point where people break away and first start living for themselves, others' needs be damned. That you guys are working to reconcile this potentially catastrophic clash of lifestyles is a testament to how much you care for each other. Hang in there.
