    Anyway, what I think of my brother and what he thinks of me, is just the way we operate our relationship. We don't see each other and that's fine with both of us. He loves dirt and grease and I love a computer keyboard and playing the Wii Game with my wife. He thinks I need to grow up and I think he needs to act somewhat younger. He dislikes anything electronic and modern and I love most all of it.

    Seems like a terrific relationship to me...……..LOL

    I don't think anyone minds your choices at all, Cody. As long as it works for you, I can't see why anyone else would care.

    The issue is that nobody really cares how Cody lives his life, it's just that he has issues with how others do...in my opinion.

    oooh no-one is seriously having a pop at you Cody, you're breathtakingly honest IMO.. ... but we are trying to make you see how it looks from our point of view, so you see that it's not all one sided..

    Will someone in the congregation give the man an Amen? And they all said, “Amen”!

    I didn't mean "care" in the sense that we didn't care what you were talking about, only that I don't think anyone objects. Your comfort in spending all of your time with your wife is every bit as valid as my preference for my own tastes in television and the like.

    I agree @Ken Anderson ....even though I Loved my husband dearly and still miss him....when he went out of town on business I was very happy sometimes...not always but it gave me time to do what I wanted, when I wanted....no cooking dinner etc.

    I'd go out and buy my favorited foods, get some good books to read and I was in heaven.

    This was when the kids were older or gone.

    One of the reasons it didn't work out with my ex was that he was too needy...and I felt smothered.

    Everybody does what works for them and that's the way it should be, there is no right or wrong.

    I wish I could say what I think of all this, but simply don't know what to say, so, basically nothing.
