It interferes with her life much less. I am going to boast and say that I believe a lot of the progress is due to me. Anyway that isn't the point.  Another reason why things have improved is because I left our home and moved into a flat about 3 miles away.  That happened last October 2013.  I knew, however, that I would be extremely lonely and I am.
