Don't know your personality, but I do know how my Asian parents raised me. Did you ever feel growing up as if you had to always please them? Ever have issues of not feeling good enough? Did you have a need of approval from your parents and then later on from your wife?
Did you ever feel like you had to appease your wife, or felt like walking on eggshells? (Especially after she switched jobs)
Did you ever find yourself agreeing with your wife on things you didn't want just to keep the peace?
Do you have many male friends? Do you hang out regularly with them?
Would you consider yourself a man's man? Or do you feel like you are just owned by the "man"?
Have your GAL activities been exciting, refreshing, maybe even a little risky?
I ask these questions because a very wise older gentlemen recently asked me the same questions. You don't have to respond to them, but depending on your answers you might be a Mr. Nice Guy. The type of person that thinks that by working hard to please others (and neglecting themselves), other people will give them the love and support they need. In reality these type of guys get walked all over, are abused, and never get back what they invest. I mention all of this because currently I am what you call a recovering nice guy. The gentleman suggested a book "No more Mr Nice Guy" by Dr Robert A. Glover. It is truly eye opening, and sheds some light on why so many women go WAW on seemingly nice hard working guys. The gentlemen I am referring to goes by the name of Young at heart here. I'm telling you if the above questions sound like you, this book will change your life.
One last thing exploit that blog to the max! Post pictures of you doing fun stuff, and always smiling! Especially pictures of you with friends, (to include new ones she has never met). If she is reading it she will notice. No more sad posts! Only good things from now on!
