Well I am Married since 98,, worked for myself all but 1 yr of that time, and have been pretty successful also. But the key is that my wife is all for whatever I aim to do. She tells people that if I have to go and work away from the home We lose money. I think in any relationship though without you seeing eye to eye it will fail regardless. So for 8 yrs, 9 in FEB my wife and I support each others decisions, and I would not trade her for anything.
It is funny you guys speak of backs... my back got screwed up in the service. Was Airborne Infantry, Air Assault and 2 months at 3d Rgr Bat, Ft Benning GA. Served a yr on the DMZ in Korea, riot control in Panama, etc etc.... the issue here was that I have a small frame. Even now as we speak i weigh a whopping 127,,, in the service lifting weights and working out daily and walking in the field for 30-45 days a whack, my weight never hit over 141. I ets'd out of Ft.Campbell ( 2/502nd , 101st AB ) and come to find out the 135 lb ruck and weapon I carried for 3 years has messed my back up also. The dr's told me I had a messed up joint so they put me on vicodins,, 100 a month for the past 2 yrs..... I went and seen the chiropractor and he said he has never seen a back as contorted as mine/// at first he says it was not my CI ( i think is the name of it could be UI joint) then he ran some xrays, and other scans and then said it was my CI joint. Went through weeks of therapy and not once could he get my back to pop.... thats how bad my shit is fucked up.
But yes back to the original topic,,, I work sometimes sun up to 3-4am and if i sleep in my wife makes sure the kids dont bother me, and if she wants something or needs something she gets it.... we see eye to eye and honestly if my wife was not as supportive as she is then hell, maybe i wouldnt be where i am now. She helps me right emails, goes to the post office for me, the bank, picks up my dip for me,, and more... but my point is this,, if your not married or in a relationship now, throw it all out on the table when looking for that right one ,, if she dont like what you do or cant grasp it, fuck em,, go to the next.. if your married, well then it should be easy for your spouse to see that what you do is for the benefit of her and your family, Working from home you can set your own hours, go to various outings whenever you feel the urge to do so.
no catch 20/20
