if there is ever a time to tell your wife that story about your dad, and what you learned from it, tell her.
I don't know when that time is, but it's a great anecdote. And a familiar scene in most homes.
My FIL is in his 4th m. It has lasted the longest and is by far, the best one. (My h is from his first m, 18 years long and bitterly ended in 1979 before I met h).
MY FIL is a Vietnam veteran, retired Marine Corps officer. After his 3rd w left him, my FIL said to me, in a vulnerable way, "maybe it's ME"....to which I said "well, indeed it is you. What would you like to work on?"
And he listened, and he changed, and he remarried at age 62, and he is a much better h than ever before. People can change. They do it all the time. Sometimes they even mean to do it.
