And how do you explain to your wife that you don't have all the answers, and that you might not know what you are doing, and that you are afraid you are going to fail? How do you admit that you are most afraid that, one day, she'll walk - and replace you with an educated, professor-type guy, who shares her same interests, schedule, and the way she was used to living, especially when all of your friends, your business associates, even your own damned brother, are all just waiting for you to mess up so they can have a shot at taking her away from you? How do you look the woman you love in her eyes and tell her that? .Leslie Esdaile
About This Quote
What should you do when you feel like you don't have all the answers and that you might not even know what you are doing and that you are afraid of failing? Well, if your wife happens to be a smart woman, she will probably ask you these questions and expect for an answer. But how do you explain to her that you don't have all the answers and that you might not even know what you are doing and that you are afraid of failing? Well, if your wife happens to be a smart woman, she will probably ask you these questions and expect for an answer. These are often difficult questions to answer because they require not just honesty but also bravery in admitting to a mistake or in taking a step in the wrong direction. But if your woman is a smart woman, she won't walk in your shoes. She will understand why you may not know what it going on right now because she has been in the same situation many times before.
