Some people really suck at what they do. It's unfortunate, but it's true. Some things are just really hard for certain people that are really not that difficult for others. Take me, for example. I suck at being married. Ask my wife. It's not that I forget birthdays or anniversaries or neglect her emotionally or any of the common stuff that you usually here about. Rather, it's just that being a husband challenges the way that I think about myself. It's weird walking around in a constant state of cognitive dissonance for nearly a year and a half. Seriously, think about it. I spent 25 years learning how to take care of myself, and now, suddenly, I'm supposed to let her take care of me, to go from being independent to being dependent. It's strange I tell ya.
