My wife is going out of town for almost two weeks with the kids to visit my family (no vacation time, no money, no go for me!). I think this is my opportunity to read the no more mr nice guy and prepare myself for her return and whatever course I am going to take here.
Whatever I choose to do, I will have to stick to my guns in order for it to work. First of all, I need to rediscover who I am. I have allowed myself to be crushed and become a sell out based on my financial crises and the need to keep a job as well as my marital crisis and desire to stay married. I am not the man my wife married. Granted, we are supposed to grow and change in our lives, but I have lost an essential part of who I am. That needs to come back, whether the wife gets it or not.
