Too true! "Unfortunately, a husband only has so many “No”s at his disposal when his wife suggests an activity, and I had to watch something with her over a recent weekend. "
I found this highly insightful. sure. a lot of creators whether comedians or playwrights or actors realize the same things that you realized. and then like you we move on. there's some very interesting research done by Bob Kegan and Lisa Lahey at Harvard over the last few decades about adult development and what you describe matches the research: you've moved from assumptions that hold you to assumptions that you can hold at arm's length and examine and adjust. well done, sir!

Thanks! It is both a relief and incredibly depressing to find out that your problems are not unique to you in the slightest.
