We stayed at the Taj Exoctica which was a short boat ride from the airport (therefore not wasting more time traveling). I LOVED it. The resort was the whole tiny island and it was private and quiet. We had an over water villa with our own plunge pool and deck. It was amazing. The resort has three restaurants, a public pool (I think almost all rooms had their own pool too), spa, gym, ocean center with all sorts of water sports. We had a private meal on the beach for my husband's birthday which was amazing. The staff were lovely, always there when you wanted something, but never in your way.

Definitely the Maldives!!!! Its a direct flight from Gatwick to the main airport! We absolutely LOVED it!!!!!! So peaceful and beautiful! Lovely snorkeling and scuba diving.
I'm so sorry. Is he completely done or is he willing to go to couples therapy?
He says that he doesn't know. I think we need both individual and couples but I'm just waiting for him to say that he wants to try.
No matter what he does, go to individual therapy yourself. It sounds like it was a big shock to you and it is always helpful to have a safe place to vent and get advice. Hugs.

WTF with dining chairs having to be wood? I like them (and have brown leather parsons chairs) but I agree with Steph that I don't like them with the wicker chairs. Sorry.

We had a 2007 328 and I loved it. I hated to get rid of it when we moved, but it didn't make sense to store it for a couple years. I think we had the window regulator issue too but no other issues. Definitely less issues than the 2011 Volvo we had.

sfy , I do, but I'm not sure my husband does. I told him what I was doing before I left the house and he didn't believe me and also said I couldn't pull it off. He was rather speechless when I came home.
Tagging scm1011 too, so she can comment since we've met before.
Dig Ophelia , so this is a bit of a bragplaint, but I couldn't imagine going back to one, or even two bathrooms. I have been completely spoilt by our current rental house and I LOVE having a bathroom for every single person. Okay, so it has single sinks and a shit ton of stairs, but at least it has enough bathrooms!
You are beyond lucky. Beyond.
I know. Unfortunately I found out how lucky during a hellish week when the stomach bug hit us. Hence LOVING having a toilet for everyone.

Is there way to keep them clean that does not require daily effort on my part?
Take your shower first and make your husband squeegee?
Dig Ophelia, is all the woodwork stained the same color? That I might be able to deal with. The slightly differing stains are too much for my need for everything to be matchy matchy.
Also sliding shower doors. There is no way to keep them clean, from the disgusting track at the bottom to the class that always is covered with calcium water stains
I hate glass doors in general. Is there anyway to keep them clean?
Oh, and drloretta , I don't give a shit, I want a house with a pool. It has to be warmer than here!!! Okay, so I REALLY want an indoor pool, but that's not going to happen. It seems like a TON of the houses I'm looking at have pools.....like more than the Southern city I used to live in.
I wouldn't mind a pool for DD's sake, but I just don't get the theme I see of in-ground pools and NO GARAGES in so many New England houses.

Oooh, I have another one. Wood on wood on wood. I love hardwood floors, wood kitchen cabinets, and wood moldings, but good God, not all together. I think one listing even had paneled ceiling and/or walls.

I'm bored, so I'm looking at houses online. WTF is up with accent walls? It is just me that thinks they are weird (and outdated)? So what do you hate in a house?
Do you want a nice one or a functional sporty one?
My husband has a nice Hugo Boss one (no hood) that he wears with his suit. He loves it but it wasn't cheap. Because I just run the kids to and from school, I wear a Columbia ski jacket (with or without the fleece under jacket).
I don't want to spend a ton on a jacket (not much use here) but I'd prefer something nicer/dressier. A classic trench is probably the direction I'm leaning.b
I took a quick look and it seems Nordstrom has a lot of options that are decent and not too expensive.
