I do care how I am treated. Just it isn't as important to me as most other things on a day to day basis. Believe it or not I am happy with myself as a person. Pretty great dad. My FIL would rather talk to me than his own children most of the time.
My idea of a good time would be reading a good book or playing a game. Occasionally pool but most tables are in bars. I still want to drink to deal with the problems. So a bar isn't the best place for me. Been looking into another Martial Arts class, Guitar Lessons or going back to school.
So confidence I have in spades. I am successful at my work and the go to guy. Have a problem they know come to me and it will get resolved. If it looks impossible then it definitely ends up on my desk.
Guess I am like a lot of men. Man out of the house but bow before the wife. Can't remember when I stopped standing up for myself with her. That actually bothers me quite a bit.
