asking mutual friends for advice related to the mariage is a worse idea than pissing on an electric fence

Hi Udo,
I just wanted to say Hi and by your posts you look like a nice guy. There are so many wonderful people on this board and I hope you get to meet as many nice fellow Priest fans like I have in my time here
Helloooo Scorpion!! How you? I haven't spoken to you in ages and I hope you're well.

Wow, I see you really have hard times at work. I just hope everything works out fine and your effort is appreciated.
Your wife asks herself if she's a single parent because you work your ass off to feed her needs. sure why not!
But if she worked half-time (like already mentioned) while your kids are at school and you are at work then you could be more at home when your whole family is at home, too....
Call mathematics of Life, if you please.

UDO - THATS EXACTLY WHAT I TRY TO TELL HER. BUT AS MY JOB HAS BECOME MORE DEMANDING SHE DOESN'T WANT IT TO EFFECT OR INCONVENIENCE ANY OF HER ROUTINES. SEVERAL TIMES SHE HAD MADE THE COMMENT TO ME - WHAT AM I A SINGLE PARENT? I'D LIKE TO BE HOME MORE, BUT I NEED TO DO WHAT I HAVE TO TO KEEP MY JOB. I'M AN ACCOUNTANT FOR A COMPANY THAT JUST CAME OUT OF BANKRUPTCY AND IS TRYING TO GO PUBLIC IN 2009. HALF OF OUR STAFF HAD BEEN LET GO AND WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF BUDGETS THE THIRD QUARTER REVIEWS AND BEGINNING TO PREPARE FOR THE YEAR END AUDIT. I NEED TO KEEP UP IF I WANT TO KEEP MY JOB. IT'S VERY STRESSFUL.
MUSIC AND GOING TO THE GYM RELAX ME AND IT SEEMS LIKE THOSE ARE THE THINGS I AM FINDING TIME FOR.
ON TOP OF IT THE GYM I GO TO JUST WENT OUT OF BUSINESS AND THE NEW ONE I SIGNED UP FOR IS 20 MINUTES FURTHER EACH WAY FROM MY HOUSE, AND TWICE THE PRICE.
HB - YOU ARE ALSO CORRECT - I SACRIFICE GOING TO METS OR ISLANDERS GAMES TO MAKE SURE THE KIDS HAVE WHAT THEY NEED, BUT MY WIFE JUST KEEPS PUTTING ON THE CREDIT CARD RELYING THAT I'LL FIND A WAY TO PAY FOR IT THE WAY I HAVE IN THE PAST. TIMES ARE DIFFERENT.
I NEED SOME PRIEST.

Udo, your right, everyone has to ensure that they set the stage for a happy person on the other end. if I force my wife to work all the time, then I set the stage for her being unhappy, therefore I will be unhappy. same works in reverse. I agree, a part time job while the kids are in school is not terible. having a couple of bucks to go out to a movie might make everyone happier.

Can't your wife try to support you while the kids are in school?
Living up to your responibilities is what every man has to do but getting killed while others just sit there and watch isn't right in my opinion.
Everyone has the right to be happy but everyone also has a responibility towards himself of achieving it - somehow.
If I'm not happy I won't be able to make anyone else happy neither...

I GUESS I SHOULD COMPLAIN. I HAVE A JOB AND IT ALMOST PAYS THE BILLS. LATELY I JUST WISH THERE WAS A LITTLE MORE. I CAN GO ON FOREVER BUT I GUESS IT WILL GET ME NOWHERE.

I see--I'm not a big Doplhin's fan so I didn't know he quit
and they don't usually televise Pitt Panther's games where I live but I do get to see Pen State every time they play --Penn State is so great this year & Pitt is flailing
