WW, My Addiction, Patience is HARD

PigPen,

I'm honored. Your postings are something I look forward to every day. I'm an honest car salesman - yes, there really is such a thing! I sleep well at night. I don't take advantage of people at work, like most places do. And I have a lot of repeat biz, which means people like and respect me.

I always craved respect from others - I am a people pleaser, have been since I was a wee little lad. The respect was always something I desperately needed in my marriage, and I see that now I didn't get it, and my porn was a way to mirage the disrespect.

Can I ask you and others something?

The biggest incongruency I see with Sandi's Rules is how to be pithy and be away from my wife, GAL, while at the same time be present with her and the kids, and being happy while doing it. It's such a fine balancing act, and something I've struggled with. I'm home with the family, and spending time in the basement reading most of the time, but spend time eating and interacting with the kids, going to church, doing activities.

Anyone have any pointers from their own experience?
