This break in our regularly scheduled programming has taught me a few things:

1) how much I love my children
2) I married the wrong person
3) I really, really miss sports

One of those things is not like the others.

likefunnysmartupliftinghelpful

Things I learnt:
1. I definitely married the right person
2. Don't have kids yet and from what I'm hearing I'm not seeing the ROI on them
3. I don't miss none of yall one bit, definitely not enough to actually voluntarily get dressed each morning given the choice.
4. Parents are better over Facetime, rather than actual face time.

Was hesitant at first re kids but best thing ever did. Don’t know how to calc ROI on joy and love.

In terms of knowing my wife and I aren’t compatible:

I think we rushed into it (she wasn’t pregnant or anything, just felt right at the time). From the way we argue, it really feels like she wishes she married someone else. Also, we aren’t on the same level when it comes to ambition, she’s fine being at her level (even though she’s had multiple chances to advance), while I want to go as high as possible. And speaking of work, she has ZERO respect for my work aside from it paying the bills. I respect the hell out of what she does (medical field) and let her know that constantly, not because I have to, because I really mean it.

Same.

Sounds like someone(s) are missing their away from home partner more than they miss their home partner while they are away

No, that was me. And no I don’t have a work wife.

I didn’t know we were admitting to this but I guess I agree with 1 and 2 also. But I do not miss sports at all.

I’ve realized I don’t really care about sports as much as I thought.

Consider joining 2 and 3. Get more physical with your spouse. A daily “workout” together. Just fun physical aerobic contact can fix a lot of number 2. Often the only thing that can. Biological facts. The original sport.

OP I’m sorry about #2. I guess it’s better to realize it sooner vs. later though. Good luck navigating that situation and I hope it all goes ok.

Same for you, PwC 1.

Can you elaborate more on #2 please ?

like

I’m happy for you and your children. I’m sorry you married the wrong person. Sports will be back just as soon as we do everything we can and then feel that everything’s sleight. As for marrying the wrong person, is she the wrong person? Is that your head exploring? Have you forgotten all the good things you got? Have you forgotten all the amazing times you’ve had? Think about it. If you want to split it’s a hard deal, man.

Could really use some kind words today. We had to say goodbye to our sweet girl on Saturday. She had severe pancreatitis and just couldn't bounce back. She was so sweet and affectionate, never met a person whose lap she didn't want to sit on. Feeling a lot of guilt that we should have tried harder before making the decision to put her to sleep. Maybe she could have bounced back if we had just waited. We miss her terribly. She loved us so much and I'm just really struggling today.
