Since it's on the "quiet floor", I would slip them a piece of paper asking them if we could talk, then move to an area where speaking is acceptable. Talking to them right then and there might put you in the same situation, disrupting the other patrons trying to study in silence. — Elmy 1 min ago

You mention that you want daily free time. Does your wife get daily free time? Perhaps you should organise daily time off for both of you and see if that helps. — Johanna just now

@Johanna from what the OP says it sounds like he's doing his part for house chores and child care, so his wife does have daily free time. — DaveG 1 min ago

Why would they give any other feedback than the one you just told them? I mean, you've messed up, you know it, they know it, you acknowledge. What else? Isn't that what rehearsal are about? Learn from your mistakes and improve? I've done a quick search (because I remember reading something like that years ago), and almost all results say the same. Did you search any useful advice on the web? Might be worth. And if it helps, then we write a kind of community answer? — OldPadawan 40 secs ago

@Ælis To my eye, this is essentially a frame challenge outlining that the OP's suggested course of action will not work to achieve the stated goal. Only focusing on the most narrow task (discussing the new agreement) when the actual goal seems to be something different strikes me as a bit pedantic. — Upper_Case 1 min ago

why do you want to tell him this? Seriously, what would be gained compared to waiting for Ophelia to tell him? Until you know what you want to do (eg spare him pain, make sure he knows, give him a chance to do something (what?) sooner / in-time) nobody can advise you how to do it. Telling him you've heard a rumour is easy. That's not your question, right? — Kate Gregory 7 secs ago
