...this is what i'm hearing you say:
1. During a time when record numbers are jobless and hungry...you have a job and a wife who is working her belly off as she adds $$$ that pays your mortgage and all your bills...but you want more.
2. You just got a new backyard deck with your extra $$$ from uncle sam...but now you want a $1,000 jon boat and a backyard pond
3. During a recession when so many businesses are laying people off, putting a freeze on hiring, or just plain going belly-up....you want a raise.
4. You say your wife is a "slob"....um, she's making more money working than you are but you can't you do her dishes, clean out the kitty litter, and take the time to teach her organization (label some rubbermaid bins and tell her to throw her stuff in there and to never leave a room or car empty handed)
5. You say "when you get like this" you can't stand her presence and just want to be left alone...i am guessing the feeling is mutual...time for a fishing trip with your buddies or at least an evening out at the local library or YMCA or Barnes and Noble or just go run around the track a few times....do you cycle?
6. Your wife has a gig in Vegas but you don't gamble and don't want to add to the expense of the trip but you're still going...yet you could easily stay home and create a nice romantic surprise for her when she gets back...a selfless act reaping great rewards
7. You hate that your wife is so controlled with "...her diet and intake, control of her weight to the nth degree, control of her health, her looks", caring about keeping her skin young looking...............do i really need to remind you of the alternative? Think of how many husbands are out there with wives that have let themselves go.
...just an FYI about women....a woman wants to be made love to, romanced, courted...even after years of marriage. She's turned ON by love. She's turned OFF by self-centeredness, self-absorbtion, and hedonism. a man who can get outside of himself is a real catch.
You didn't want advise but just wanted to vent...consider the above "just venting" on my part.
