I hear that. There is no one else in this world I spent so much energy on trying to make her happy and support in her endeavors. You'd think that in 14 years of legitimately trying to be a good husband I'd have done at least one thing to earn her affections...but no (how good I actually was, I guess not good at all but I *was* trying). Her friends? Well they're just so amazing she'll leave me to be single and childless like them.
