Sure it stung ... everything she brought up stung. From not putting the toilet seat down 10 years ago, to not wanting our D wearing shorts to short.

What I'm saying is she threw every reason why she did what she did at me. It was and is all my fault she doesn't love me anymore. At first I believed I was a pretty bad husband and father. Imposing my will on my family. What a bastard!! To an extent I agree I did inject my opinion on where to eat ... where to go on trips ... etc etc etc. However, In hindsight I look back and say wait a minute we all had a say. We as a family had input. Where I put my foot down was were she would spend $500 on new clothes and then not be able to pay our mortgage or car payment. I was always the one to discipline our kids. I was the one who made sure homework was done or their rooms were cleaned. So if that was/is controlling I'm guilty.

Goal 1

I finished nursing school back in May. I scheduled to take my board June 15. Son informed me of OM meeting them and W moved out on June 10. I took the board and didn't pass. Just couldn't get my head into it. I have reapplied for the board and I will become an RN the end of Sept. I have started reviewing and will spend much more time doing so during the day when the kids are at school. I will be ready this time.

Goal 2

Quit smoking

Goal 3

Start going to gym. I'm a small guy 5'6" 130lbs. I hope to add 20lbs within a year

Goal 4

Get a life. I've spent the last 4 yrs working full time, going to school full time, dad full time, and trying to make my wife happy full time. I need to me people in the area with simular likes and hang out more with them. Right now the only friends I have are hrs away.

Goal 5

Be the best person I can be. Be happy with myself and if there is something I don't like change it.
