What you have said is exactly what most men SHOULD say but rarely acknowledge. When all of the "people" in our daily lives are not very nice, mean, nasty, and you simply would like to tell them what you really think, you are exhausted to the bone but know you must keep on keeping on, a GREAT wife is always there to support you, and let you know that she will stand with you no matter what you decide to do..
THAT is the secret to strong men. Behind them is a loving and a steqadfast, strong, supportive wife.
I share your experiences and know them to be true. Only I worked seven days a week because it was my own corporation and I needed to put the time in on weekends to get done what I could not do the rest of the week.
This is one of the reasons I respect Nemo and admire what he is accomplishing in the face of adversity.
He didn't quit or give up though he became a casulaty of the building and construction trade so he moved. Then when he discovered there was a lack of work in those trades where he moved to, and yet he needed income, he figured out how to become an automotive flipper per se. He has become a pretty good mechanic, and a salesperson whether he knows it or not.
Hard work is what Ben Franklin prescribed for every person who wants to succeed.
Like you, if it had not been for my wife I do not know if I cold have kept up that torrid pace either.
I am glad that you acklnowledged that truth in your life and now have begun a new chaptyer in BOTH of your lives that you can live and share together instead of you being gone most of the time.
I wish you guys much success and happiness for your new beginnings and hope you enjoy every single moment.
This is what hard work and dedication should lead to. Unfortunately, there aren't many willing to sacrifice for the short term what it requires to enjoy the long term.
Congrats to you BOTH. It was and remains a TEAM effort as you aptly acknowledged......
