No, I am not a good, kind and selfless man. I'm a totally self-centered, very reserved, silent schizoid who hasn't a huggy or kissy bone in his body and spends 98% of his time inside his own head fighting off a variety of painful mental sensations. My wife has good reason to be unhappy with her lot. She married a very damaged man and didn't find out until afterwards. She's tough. If we had basic financial security she could put up with even more than she has. But we don't and she can't and I can't blame her.

I would like to be a good, kind and selfless man. I think that's the way men (and women) should be. But for me at least that's kind of like wanting to be Abraham Lincoln, Leonardo da Vinci or Jesus Christ. No. In the great majority of possible ways I'm just a normal, average buffoon who's read more books than is good for him. And I'm glad we never had children because I just would have caused them pain too.
