[quote=Anonymous]Ok, this will seem weird, but it's been bugging me a lot more than usual in recent weeks. My husband of ~20 years is a saint. Gentle, intelligent, kind, hardworking, healthy, and good-looking. He has no vices. Never tried drugs, never smoked a cigarette, has maybe 2-3 drinks per month. Solid career, good money, faithful, loving, thoughtful - I could go on. Yes, I know how lucky I am, and here's the issue.... It is quite stressful trying to live up to him. I am a good but flawed person. In my younger days I was a bit of a party girl, and I still have a drink every night. He has always inspired me to be a better person, and as soon as we started dating I worked hard to 'shape up' - no more partying, got serious about my career, grew up emotionally. Part of that was in response to family and friends telling me that he was too good for me - part of it was a genuine desire to emulate this incredible man that I fell in love with. Now, I am a responsible, successful adult and I generally like myself and am proud of what I've done with my life. But, I still enjoying having fun on occasion - the occasional cigarette with a girlfriend, the occasional toke when it crosses my path. I feel the need to hide these moments from my husband for fear that he'll judge me or be disappointed. Anyone dealt with these sorts of feelings? [/quote]
