We are missing a key component of this story. How hot is your fiancee? Hotness always tips the scales in her favor.

Sky Guy has it. Before you have kids it is easy to stay ahead of the domestic duties. Once they arrive, holy Sh!t! It is a ton of effort. My advice is to do the work when you are off the river. If you do your part and still get the business when you are home then you may be in an irreparable situation.

I am in my office this Monday morning, completely burnt out from the weekend. I started my work day Friday morning at 6, wound up on the river later in the morning+, back in the office in the afternoon, took my wife out Friday night* then to the football game*, coached soccer on sat morning*, helped dress the kids in their costumes*, made dip and took whole family to a halloween party Sat night*, fished Sunday morning+, came home and painted shutters*, helped with laundry*, made lunches*, cleaned kitchen*, finally at 10 pm processed all the fish from the week, cured eggs and at 11pm parts of my wife's cowgirl costume showed back up $ HOLLA!

Count the *stars in the above paragraph, in my mind I try to have 2x more * than + so that I still get $. Find the balance with your girlfriend, and if it is too hard on you, bounce.
