I don't have many friends, it turns out that I am an objectionable human being.
I stayed away from this thread but I've been drinking all day (Hi Stiffy) so fuck it.
My wife of 15 years, partner of 20, mother of my children is my best friend, she is the only person in my life that understands me, puts up with my various issues and will be the last person on earth standing with me when the world comes to an end.
I don't have to pretend, lie, change or be anything other than what I am with her. She knows I am loyal, trustworthy and will scorch the fucking earth to protect her. She is the reason I am not dead or in Gaol and when it all turns to shit, it will be on me, but it won't be because I betrayed her.
I don't need people in my life to make me feel good about myself, I don't measure success by facebook likes or birthday cards and I don't care what people think of me.
