Guys whose wives back them up.

It will come ... Third marrage & 40 years

 

Good description and to be clear, I wasn't talking about anyone in particular, just more of personal interactions. We all had to do a Mckenzie study and also spend time with a Dr. to see where we fit on the personality styles table. You know, Dominant Director ect. ect. type stuff. Well our fearless leader was so proud he was termed a Dominant Director that he about popped a few veins in his already roided out biceps. He is long gone after multiple claims of harassment and as far as I know, is trying to be a consultant. For what, I could never guess. Anyway, I see your point and agree. In my business (Motorcycle OEM), if your not an adrenaline fueled risk taking former racer, your the misfit so maybe Im looking at this from a different viewpoint.

 

Ok.

 

It sounds more like you still need to grow up and take responsibility for your actions. You placed a burden on your wife and are now condemning her for doing her best to keep you happy. This is completely on you. It's time to be a man and get your house in order, at the expense of your hobby not your wife.

 

Heather and I are far from perfect, but one thing I will never doubt is her having my back. I think the one time I got a black flag from jumping the start, she fully lit into the officials for calling me out. She told me after the race, and I had to tell her that I definitely jumped. So she went back and apologized and we all laughed about it. I guess she wasn't the first wife to yell at an official errantly.

As for marriage, my saying is "it isn't easier, but it is definitely better." I love my life with Heather and I wouldn't trade it for something "easy".

 

Cool
