I NEVER have issues w/him wanting to go do something. I do. I think it's fair. And, I think it's good for him. Just an explanation.
MF, I hear you and I didn't think any different.
However don't forget, at this point in time, it's what he thinks that counts. Him going to play poker is what he wanted to do, but he felt that it was his obligation to be home with his family. A possible reason is because he is away from home so much. So his own guilt/conscience trapped him.
Thanks for sharing on the conversation. I'd like to think about it a bit before I comment... and need to go out, so don't hold your breath.
