Blackie think of me as one of those biased friends DBers are warned against but I would love to give your W a slap. And if I were not thousands of miles away I might come and do it! Please try to hold it together. Things had gotten pretty bad already. At least you know what is going on now. You must do what feels right and no one would blame you if you wanted to get out. Just don't rush into anything you may regret later on. As I have said quite a few times recently we all make stupid mistakes. When things get tough some people fold up. This does not necessarily make them bad people, just rather weak. Perhaps you may decide to give your W another chance if this is something that seems worthwhile to you. You wanted another chance yourself, so perhaps this may not be too much to ask. But that is not to say that things will not have to be very different next time around. You seem like a real nice guy and I think you deserved better. Let the future be for you now. How bout that rib joint? A restaurant of any type is a lot of work but don't leave your dreams until you retire. If you really think this is something you would enjoy doing look at if it is viable now.
