You know what, it is so simple it is staring me in the face. That list I just wrote you I need to give to my wife. Maybe reword it a bit to say this is what I want from you instead of saying this is what OW gave to me.
As far as the small steps, I guess that is something we could work out.
There is definitely something she will get out of this. If she wants to go places, I'm there. If she wants to do things with her life, I will support her. If she needs help, I will give it. I will be a good father to our children, will support her financially, and will love her with all my heart.
No, she is the antithesis of athletic. Her body looks good, but she doesn't work out or anything other than walk and eat right. She HATES competition, which is one of the sore points between us as I LOVE it. She doesn't even like to play cards, which is one of the few fun get-together things people do around here.
She does love nature and understanding things. She used to love to listen to me talk about my field of expertise, but has switched completely into mommy mode so we don't talk about stuff like that anymore.
She pretty much loves to raise the kids, and not much else right now. I know you are probably thinking that that is what I should focus on too, but I have a hard time just focusing on one thing. I guess I'm a little bit ADD.
Hey thanks for the post. Got me really thinking.
