GS, It sounds like you have been sadly disappointed in your marriage. It seems that you would rather be a faithful husband in a happy marriage if your wife were capable of receiving/returning your love for her.
Dorothy, in GS's case it might be that the fault does not lie with GS not understanding women. Maybe his wife has never been capable of receiving/returning true love because of her family background. It does not look like she married him for the right reason in the first place.
I agree with you totally here Joy. That's why I suggest to GS that instead of trying to make millions he tries new ways to see if he can please his wife because she might simply not have the capability of having a loving relationship with him. If this is the case, what good is killing himself to make more money to please her? If he can't please her no matter what he tries perhaps it's not that he needs a polyamorous relationship - just a better primary relationship. Those skills can then be taken to someone else that can appreciate them more.
Not disappointed with my marriage.
My wife is the sexiest and youthful thing I see every day.
And she plays the harp every day.
And she earns her own big enough money as a corporate executive.
And I've got great in-laws.
As for my children... I'm quite satisfied with meeting my personal quota.
And with my healing abilities and raw paleo diet knowledge from you guys... no fear in parenting.
My parents had their own big shortcoming (not my fault), but it truly disappointed my wife's clan.
The medical system betrayed us with 3 c-sections, drugging my wife on the 1st baby for heart problems.
And offered me no hope when I was sick and almost killed our son when he was sick, almost killed my brother.
So we've been through a lot... I didn't expect many of these ups and downs and curves in life and the reality of human sexuality... in fact I first read the book "Sperm Wars" and "Etiquettes for Mistresses" from my mother in law where those books helped her accept the reality that her husband had his own bastard while still remaining the good man that he is. It's just the way things are.
Real female sexuality I saw first hand with my wife, my sister, my sister in law, my close lady friends, my own grandmother, my employees... and many other women. The reality is that women play an active role in getting the best sperm / genes for their offspring, plus getting men to do things for them... it's just the way things are.
I was raised / sheltered in the idealism my mother dreamt of and which my father's side had actually done... they were the good boys and girls.
My pro-life volunteerism made me realize the grave danger to our own personal survival / family tree survival with the mostly complete contraceptive mentality propagated to most human beings. That the medical system of birthing itself was not on our side.
These truth realizations had made me proactive in changing course for the continuation of my bloodline.
Getting into pro-life, real healing, being able to cure the incurables and learning raw paleo diet made me much much more awake than I had dreamed of. And this is not disappointing at all.
