I read your post too. That's a great post. You are right on the overarching problem. I think a person should try to solve all their own problems before reaching out for help. I have seem people who just throw/share problems to their spouse without resolving their own problems first. It becomes the problems between two persons. That's not something I want to see happening. I discuss my business idea and difficulties with my wife to get some different opinions and make sure my business will benefit both our life. When it comes the time to solve my business issues, I have to face it and get it resolved myself. If I have to rely on my wife to solve problem for me, my achievement won't mean anything at all. ;-) @Al a5 7P:

I have the same conclusion you have - we shouldn't work to have happiness as the end goal; instead, we should use happiness at the starting point as we work towards our goals. The point you made about not sharing your unhappiness with your wife really stood out to me. It might not be best to bog down a spouse with day-to-day problems, but if there is an overarching problem on someone's mind, wouldn't it be fair to share that with the spouse? Hi Terence – this post really stood out since I recently wrote about this topic myself.

But then, when talking about it with my BF, and knowing he is there for me to fall back on, supporting me and believing in me, is enough to continue on the road that I am currently on, I just know it will work out great!
