"It's interesting that I've alway had trouble learning to swim. I've taken lessons over the years, but always sink. I've never become comfortable in the water."
wow we have something in common, I can swim a very little and float quite well now but I find it hard work.I started lessons again at 55yrs but shortly after had a car accident and hurt my back and after never returned ,maybe time for me to take the plunge again.
Good for you not downplaying your role as her husband in your own home. Personally if you did I would take it as a sign that you were not proud to have me as your wife. Sometimes as woman we want our man to be macho male.
