re: Do you feel like you sacrificed your personality for your wife, family, career?

In my previous marriages i did. But my current wife insisted that i learn to do as i damn well please instead of killing myself trying to please everyone else.

I was a workaholic to escape the hell at home in previous marriages, making great money trying to make everyone happy. It was never enough.They cared nothing about doing anything to make me happy.

My current wife pushes me to do as i damn well please. I wasnt sure how to do that with out feeling guilty.

She encourages me to go have man time with the quys or to sit on my arse all day if i please. She arranged our life and finances so i could retire early.

We bought a camp on the river because she said i could fish from my own porch that way.

Now i just need to figure which way to go creatively hobbywise. Im looking into getting into woodworking since we already have a workshop.
