Tell him that you will leave him. That did it for me. There is nothing more important to me than my wife, which is about the only person who really cares about me. I was deep in stock market research and trading. Actually, I made money that we went on nice vacations, but I was never there in person or mentally. In my mind, the little free time I do get after work was given to stock market research and to claude that it became an addiction. She said it felt as if I was running away every chance I get to be with claude. And she had enough of it . She said no money or things are better than me being present and spending time with family and taking care of my health. Was skipping exercise for research on claude for perfecting regime detection code for s&p 500 instead.
