Thanks for both replies, Cadet. On the attractiveness of "Being a good Father": I am sure it wont hurt, as such, but I am not certain the "find a mate/good-father and reproduce" dynamic is very pertinent in my case. My wife may be past the age (she is early stage menopause) where that instinct is very powerful. In this case, the adventure/excitement seratonin-rush from blandishment and sexual adventure seems to be the primary driver. The OM in question is definitely NOT the paragon of a good father (tried to get me to hire hookers for my teenage son to "make him a man"-- encourages his teenage son to have lots of premarital sex with older women so he "gets experienced with experienced girls.")
On being a good "man"-- something I definitely fell down on. Not that i wasn't a good "person", but good "man", well... not so much before the past three months. Have reawakened though, and am really turning things around. Looking forward to my conversation to close the loop with the OM...
