[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The OP might want to consider whether her controlling and uptight attitude is contributing to if not actually causing the problem.  We're talking about a SAHD with a lawyer wife who actually has the gall to suggest that she gets to make the decision on where he should live during a separation because she's the breadwinner?  Imagine if she were a guy with a SAHM for a wife; how many people would let him get away with saying such a thing.

My reading between the lines is that we are talking about a guy with an overbearing and demanding lawyer wife who has emasculated him more than a little bit and is driving him to smoke a little weed to get through the day.        [/quote]
I'm reading something similar, like they moved for his job and he was forced into being a SAHD due to the circumstances, now he's self medicating because he's bored/depressed. I've been there. OP has probably never smoked pot and doesn't realize how mild it can be[/quote]

If you need to self medicate to get through the day, then you aren't equipped to care for kids and you likely aren't contributing much to the family. You're likely more of a liability than an asset. Who needs that? [/quote]
Would you say the same about parent who have a drink/cigarette/half a pie at the end of the day? [/quote]

Yep.

Smoking throughout the day (or at all if I'm being honest) would be a deal breaker.

Drinking during the day or evening holding off until cocktail hour would be a deal breaker. Daily drinking isn't normal or healthy. If you need to drink every night, you have a problem. If you have one of two drinks every night in your 20s and 30s, you are going to hit the sauce even harder in your 40s, 50s and 60s. Several of my friends and I are dealing with parents in their 60s and 70s who are for all intents and purposes functional alcoholics. Sure it was fine when it was just one or two glasses of wine or Jack and cokes when they were younger...but if you have to unwind with drinks every night, it escalates.

And let's be honest: potheads are so lame. What grown up wants to deal with that shit when you get home from work?

My two cents: that dude needs a FT job. [/quote]

I like pot way more than I like you. Given that I'd smoke you, what does that say about pot?[/quote]

And you want to be my latex salesman!!![/quote]
