   Yup. A man needs to take care of his responsibilities first (including family)   
   then he can be free to enjoy his hobby/obsession.   
      
   I say the same for thosd who like to drink: fulfill your obligations first, &   
   use your own earned money to by that liquor, then you certainly deserve to   
   enjoy that cold one out in the yard you paid for & continue to maintain.  No   
   good wife would say otherwise.   
      
   My wifew will pour me a glass of our home-made fruit wine & give it to me to   
   enjoy as I watch a bit of TV at the end of the week.

   Yup, seem that one (not from yuo, just in general)   
      
   My wife & I agreed, before marriage that neither gets to kick the other outto   
   the couch or doghouse -- if one cannot stand to cooperate to a friendly   
   resolution, & cannot abide sleeping next to the other, THEY can feel free to   
   sleep on the couch. (seems fair to me); married 14 years, thanks to God.   
      
   You've heard of the couple maeried for 98 years, who went for a divorce?   
      
   The judge was shocked & asked why now.  The old gent answered, "We had to wait   
   for all the kids to die first."   
      
   Your friend,
