Dale, I was killing it at work and with my hobbies when my wife dropped the bomb. It's pretty typical for men to put their wives at a lower priority. Don't beat yourself up about it. Just learn from it.

My wife and I are slowly trying to work things out. I just gave her the new keys to our house on Tuesday. I had changed the locks back in March or February.

Pain can yield tremendous growth OR everlasting sadness and bitterness.
