3. TODAY'S SELF-OBSERVATION
Horny missus wanted to take advantage of Son's late arrival yesterday evening, and despite not having Tadalafil assistance, I was surprised at how successfully I completed the mission. I put this down to it being only 5pm and therefore being reasonably perky.
There are two reasons that Paranoid Schizophrenia has not ended the marriage, as it almost always does to marriages. Most importantly, she faithfully takes her medication. Secondly, she deeply, profoundly loves me, and I really like that. In addition, we both enjoy behaving in a highly immature childish manner that no one else would tolerate, let alone understand. She needs me to care for her and I depend on her income. I get unprecedented personal freedom that would be the envy of most married men. And most of the time, the relationship is positively joyous. Once I accepted that I was a full-time carer, that it was my main job, everything worked.
Although I still have goals, like liberation from the Weekend Job, I find myself lacking nothing. I have no complaints whatsoever.
