In the beginning...a little about me :)

  To get us started I will tell you a little about myself.  I am a married 40-something guy with two great kids and a very good life.  But (there is always a but) as I have grown and gotten older I have noticed things, been exposed directly to things and had things impact me as I male that I am finding harder and harder to accept.  To go along with that, I think that women tend to make relationships with men much more complicated than the have to be and I am here as a resource to answer your questions as honestly and completely as I can.  Don't expect warm and fuzzy here.  As I once told a friend whose wife didn't like the direct nature of one of my replies "If I am not sleeping with you, I am not going to sugar coat my answer to keep you happy".  More on that to follow.....Anyway welcome to my mental and emotional playground.  Let's get started!!
