ok, I see what you are saying ( i really do) I guess what im doing is for ME but at the same time im concerned what she is doing... I have found my old friends are still there and have let me back just like I was never gone (wife used to want me home all the time. til guess what "I need space" "why dont you go out!" ect.. you prob know the phrases. So lately I do go out and have fun, I do all sorts of things I used to do. (my friends did say DONT EVER let anyone do that again!!!) and they are right I put my whole life into her and my kids... my kids will always come first but no other person will be again.
heck I used to be a big prank person at work and well I back at that. (of course I knows she will never know that part) but im just curious how she will ever know. am i still missing the key point?
