ORIGINAL: Chickenboy
You mean choose between the person I had two lovely children with, the person that is my soul mate and has loved me through thick and thin and some hobby? The person who supports our family most in our time(s) of need? The person whose family I love (and she mine)? The person I would walk into a fire to save? The love of my life? My wife of nearly 19 years?
There is no choice here at all. Hobbies are fleeting pastimes. They aren't "life".
I'd trade my hobbies all in an instant with no regrets if it came to it.
Mrs. Warspite1
What a fine sensibility you have shared with us, Chickenboy. Such nobility. Such love and affection for your spouse. How wonderful.
I too can appreciate your desire to remain loyal through 'thick and thin'. Take my husband, Warspite1, for example. Please! Ha ha...[jolly good pleasant English laugh]...
No seriously, I have two wonderful children with my husband Warspite1 as well. But I mostly find that I've stayed with him through 'thick' rather than 'thin', I'm afraid. The lard-ass won't lay off the crisps, chips, biscuits, choccys and other treats. His active calorie-burning pleasures have been supplanted by idly staring at the WiTP:AE manual and mumbling that he's (again) too much a 'thicky' to understand this fine game and all its nuances.
Still, I wouldn't trade him for any other spouse in the world. Unless Brad Pitt is single again. Do you know if Brad Pitt is single again? Gotta go...
