Keep the attitude you have. Why sacrifice the things you love for some unappreciative broad? I have no idea what is wrong with so-called "men" today that let their women run(ruin) their lives. Guy's are so worried about having some hole around that they forget how to be men.
I can get up, and spend the entire day, doing whatever I want. If I'm at home in my reloading room... my wife periodically brings me something to drink and eat. She loves how passionate I am about what I do, and would never dream of trying to stop me from doing it. I don't go shopping, not even for groceries. I haven't cooked a meal, washed laundry, or cleaned the house in 8 years. We have two children, 4yrs and 6yrs. I haven't changed more than 20-30 diapers in all that time, and that was just because the wife was sick or something.
If my wife came to me and said "you really need to help clean the house," I'd tell her that she really needs to start looking for a different man. The lack of resolve men have when dealing with women astonishes me.
If most men had a clue how to actually be men, society's cute depiction of the dumb enslaved man and the insanely controlling women would stay where it belongs: On TV.
