A lot of women really would feel that way. I am a bit over the top, but
I make the effort not to give her unwanted attention. Luckily, little
is unwanted. When I was younger, I was a bit more traditionally
masculine/male dominant, but relationships evolve, and she accepts that I
really derive more life satisfaction from my devotion to her than from
anything else. I'm not a groveler in any sense, but I'd accept doter.

She loves having me around. If the book is successful money-wise, she
wants me to be a full time writer because she loves having me around.
She said exactly that a few hours ago.

I'm not perfect though. If you asked her if there was anything she'd
change about me if she had a magic wand, there is 100% certainty that
she would wish that I drank less or no beer.

It was by choice. First she was in college, then she was in graduate
school. Then I was kind of half-assed doing college, while working
full time, and we were having a great time. If you are suggesting that the lack of children implies "trouble in Candyland," I might remind you of the
existence of oral contraceptives.

We had been married for 12 years when we stopped using birth control,
and after one miscarriage, my son was born when we'd been married 15
years. When he was 3 we asked him if he'd like a little brother or sister,
and he said, "No." The pregnancy had been not without complications, and
my son's preference was the deciding factor, so it was vasectomy time.

I think I've answered your questions adequately.
