[quote]I can never understand how a man is ok with some other dude screwing his wife. I just can't fathom the thought. [/quote] I would assume it's because he gets free rein to do as he pleases in that department....

Fingers crossed we don't see another round through daycare; had that a few months ago....

[quote]Agreed. That's not really a weekend trip to me. Ours is 400 miles one way. You almost have to take off Friday or Monday to get all of the stuff done that you didn't because you were traveling (laundry, errands, yard work etc). You can do it and be back at work Monday morning, but it sucks....

[quote]I’d go on this trip to keep the peace and then talk about the longer term outlook of taking that many weekend trips to see her family when you get home. That doesn’t sound sustainable to me, at least while maintaining any semblance of an independent social life. I actually had a similar si...

No, I don't think you're wrong, but, like others have basically said, is this the hill to die on? I'd do it, but then I'd lay out your case about needing down time and having the time to get things done.

Nobody wants to take a step back simply for procreation. Like I said earlier, I think it's short-sighted but ...

I get it dude. Living to work isn't the answer and sucks, but humanity has had to work to exist since the dawn of time. 9-to-5ers weren't a thing, but you most definitely were doing work daily. Do what you have to do; then do what you want the rest of the time. As the great Frank Costello said to...

"Death smiles at us all; all a man can do is smile back." Life is most definitely fragile, and you, I, and everyone that has been, is, and will be are a small matter set against the grand scheme of things. Yet, in the insignificance the you that never was and never will be again is here now with ...

[quote]The Bears are so fricking stupid. I'm officially no longer a Bears fan. I'm giving my Walter Payton jersey to my oldest son, and I've already destroyed any other decent memorabilia in 1 fit of rage or another watching these dipshits play or make terrible draft and personnel decisions. They...
