Hi blackie,
He is not the "all in" type of guy. He came to a startling realization about 3 months back (we were talking about his job search and what job he is ideally suited for) that he never gives his all to *anything*. He always holds himself back so that if he fails, he can say "well I wasn't really trying that hard, anyway."
You can imagine how well this attitude goes over in marriage.

He had a hard time in the USMC with all of their nighttime drills. Sitting up, doing the 'guard' thing...I can't recall what the technical name is, lol, but it's where 2 fellas sit up with their rifles and guard the platoon while everyone is sleeping. Well anyway, he had an awful time with this. The two guys would sit with their backs to each other and the guy would complain that H was always jerking, falling asleep and waking up.

He probably is sleep deprived. There is no way he can get 8 hours of sleep, unless he skips Mass. We can't get our kids to bed any earlier than we do and I'm not interested in going to sleep before 9 anyhow.
