Not much has changed

In the last year, not much has changed.  I’m still married, still employed, still taking care of the kids a heck of a lot more than my wife does, and still looking at other women instead of my wife.  About the only change that I can come up with is, I don’t want or need sex much anymore.  In 2010, I think I’ve had sex 3 times, all with my wife.  I get more sleep now, that’s for sure.

I am reading a book titled "Too Good to Leave, Too Bad to Stay" by Mira Kirschenbaum.  It claims to be "A Step-by-Step Guide to Help You Decide Whether to Stay In or Get Out of Your Relationship."  The first chapter has a sentence that reads, "Our research involved talking to people in the same situation you’re in."  Oh reallllly?  Hmmmm.

So there are other 40-somethings out there like me, eh?  We shall see if the book can come up with a similar situation that closely models my own.  I doubt it, but…  we’ll see.

Did you know that Dr. Phil’s marriage to Robin is his second marriage?  Yeah, I just read that in the USA Weekly (which comes in my Sunday paper).  His first marriage was to his high school sweetheart, and it lasted 3 years.  I don’t know if this helps or hurts his credibility in my eyes.

I always say that I’m going to go to bed early, and then I never do.  I have gotten used to getting only 5 hours of sleep per night.  It’s amazing to me that I can function on so little sleep, and yet I manage to do it somehow.

Wink, nod, and I’m outta here.
