Fearless, from your qoutes, it is apparent that I must NOT focus on being happy, it just happens, if you are lucky. It can not be achieved. It is achieved only when the wife responds to my actions to be manly, but she may NEVER respond. From a Chrisian perspective, my marriage is going to suck, but too bad. I am not relieved of MY responsibility because of this.
My responsibility is to be a man for my wife and children. I may never be happy again and maybe I should not even TRY to be happy, their are to be more important things in my life.
Where are the violins? Holey Moley Cemar, you are quite the martyr.
You need to change your attitude to change your M. I think that about sums it up.
