btw Virginia. If you met me you'd know that I am not a typical surgeon-- I do not have a big ego, I do not tie my ego to doing this.


I can tell you're a humble man. I respect that. I was just telling a yarn to make a point really. To be fair my fellow was pretty humble too ... and he was H.O.T. ... and all that training in biology and stuff is a very good thing in a lover - (she sighs and shakes her head at all that could have been ... lol wink )

A while back (months ago) I told my wife I'd be happy pumping gas if it meant that I could be with her and the boys... and I meant that. Obviously that is not something that is productive for her to hear, especially when she spent the last 9 years supporting me.


I laughed when I read this ... I absolutely know what you mean ... but can't see that being the optimal outcome for your W!!! Also, saying things like that give your wife a lot of power - it signals to her how vulnerable you are and she can use that to feel even more secure in the poor choices she's making. And it makes you sound like a love-lorn dag.

Remember women want the love and support of men who are strong, determined and committed to their (arguably) "leadership" role in the family.

Never make someone a priority, who makes you an option.
