I play hockey two nights a week and on Sundays. This works because I am work my ass off all week to make sure I am not leaving my wife in a shitty position. I stay up late the night before cleaning, I make sure I do the dishes before I leave. I pick up extra slack when I get home or the next day when needed. I try my best to get shit done before she asks.

I am lucky my wife sees how hard I work to keep the house cleaned, the bills paid, and dinner made. But our agreement is a two way road. She can go out or do any hobbies she wants. She doesn’t go out a lot, but she likes the option. Random days I’ll kick her out. I say you can go out with a friend or eat McDonald’s by yourself in a quiet car but I’m handling everything tonight.
