New here....Major Vent

[TeaEarlGreyHot]

I was not joking when I said 14 years, 2 months and 14 days.

Last time was April 6, 1997.

But that is my story and just one outcome when a wife says "no." I haven't updated recently and I'll not hijack your thread to update here.

I've read Silly Old Bear's reply to you and have to say I mostly agree. Life isn't fair on this point and if computer games is a sore point, then let that go for the moment.

As to exercise in the heat...well, that's your choice but I walk/hike in all types of weather (I try to avoid thunderstorms and manage to avoid the tornadoes in April when they swept through) but a little heat (heat index at ~105 degrees is about my limit at this time of year) isn't a reason to not get out and do something healthy for yourself.

Although I did not set out to lose the weight, I lost more than 40 pounds through a fairly regular walking/hiking program where I set my own goals. Gave me lots of time to think through stuff.

She wants you to be reasonable and she's giving you all the reasons why you should. In the long0run you'll jave to decide for yourself what path you choose. You apparently have the time to do that.
