Me and my wife are in our 30's, and have three kids under 8. She works part time, and also does the school drop offs and pick ups. I started my journey here almost 2 months ago, and have noticed few small improvements in my wife's behaviour so far, which is increased exercise by her, and more sex (albeit not much better sex, and starting from a very low frequency).

Over the last year or so, she has "developed IBS", which coincidentally started at around the same time that a very good childhood friend of hers was diagnosed with Bowel Cancer. In the past year, she's requested from our GP and received referrals for bowel cancer screening, a range of blood tests, coeliac disease testing, and a colonoscopy. Outcomes were (in order) negative, all normal, negative, and normal, with the following quote from the doctor who did the colonoscopy "that was the most boring colonoscopy I have ever done, everything was 100% fine". Finally, after pushing her GP, she now has a "diagnosis" of IBS.

At the same time, she has started complaining incessantly over how tired she is, and how tired her life and our kids make her. Two are at school, one is at daycare, and she works 25 hours a week. She gets them up in the morning, and ferries them around to afterschool activities, but I contribute my fair share when I get home from work. She does more housework than me, but I do enough.

Funnily enough, her gut aches and lethargy only seem to occur when we are at home together for the evening, and not when she has personal stuff on.
