But there's a pride in doing that stuff, Mach. I feel good about myself when I know I'm taking care of Waw and the kids.
This is what a lot of married men do when they enter a committed relationship that harkens back to the 'cave man' times. The hard-wired DNA need to provide for and protect your flock.
Your self worth isn't tied to your progeny or how well you provide for W. Can you feel good taking care of yourself by yourself? I think this is what Mach is essentially driving at here, my friend.
