The Pathetic Truth

i would hate to say this after dappling a bit in domaining, i now understand how people sell domains off cheap and then latter, months latter get sold of for millions.
Cant remember the actual story but some guy like 4 months ago sold a domain for 150k 2 months later sold of for 1.5 mill. Fucking sick, with seo mikes story and driving around bickering couples around raleigh i have learned one thing. We are all human, no one wants to start over looking for a loved one. The general society looks down on single parents (divorced or otherwise), divorced people(whether men or women) as being failures,truth is it takes a whole lot of strength to be able to say enough is enough. While driving people around, i always wonder how people continually stick with abusive spouses. In the race to please them some poor woman hears you are being offered 5k for a domain you registered for 8 bucks and she wants that diamond ring and you are fucked. That domain ends up earning some domainer over 2k a month, every month. It takes balls to stand up to your spouse, you are responsible for your own happiness mike. You must have standards that should never be compromised. The only way your wife is going to learn is if you talk to her. Dont be afraid of her going back and forth, and dont argue. Sounds unreal but someone can only shout at you for so long,keep your voice calm and have your wireless laptop ready logged in with paychecks at hand when you are having your discussion. That should scare her shitless if she thinks "oh my god he wants to leave me or something along that line".
I hate confrontation bro, i really do but sometimes when dealing with drunk people i have to draw a line. No matter how drunk someone is, they are still coherent, trust me they are. If i start arguing it becomes a long night, but if i clearly let them know of what my conditions are like DONT PUKE IN MY FUCKING CAR OR THATS AN AUTOMATIC 60$ FINE tough times and they know i am not kidding because i mean it.
Sit your wife down, honestly have your payslips with you your laptop with printed out copies of your paypal account let her know what you are doing how much you are making and why you have to do what you have to do. Take her out, have some of those merry maid chicks come over and clean the house , make it a habit maybe once every 2 weeks or something like that. Just let her see the general picture . I hope she does cause ever according to Jons post, you seem like a talented Mo'fo

All the best.

Was you making good money online? I dont understand why she would think your goofing off if the money was good. My parents/family thought i should get a real job but when i started making money obviously they realized i had a proper job.
If for however long you was online you never really built a good regular income then i can understand her point to a degree. If you have a wife and kids to support your not going to get the luxury of spending however long trying to make money i suppose. But either way you should think of whats most important to you the less regrets in life the better.

Funny thing is without my wife I'd probably work 18-19 hours a day. She keeps me sane.
Set your boundries and make fixed times to do things. Setup an upfront contract with her. Between x and y is work time for my online business and here's what it's generating in that time. This is the time we have together, then this is the time I have to go to work for a job.
Sit down with her and sketch out goals and milestones and bring her on the journey to an actual destination. My guess and it's only a guess is there's a lack of a clear goal so she see's this as an endless thing that's going to go on together. When you can say Hey Honey look at how much closer we are to "blah", we're ahead of schedule. Then you'll be moving in a direction together.
With a strong enough defined goal that she's excited about she might even help and become and asset rather then a liability

Seems like your wife thinks youre a loser, calling your work "playing".
I make very little money myself but mine keeps saying i should
keep trying and that she thinks i will make big money for us one day.
All i did to convince her was 10 minutes of good promotional talk.
Theres some serious lack of respect going on in your relationship, if
you take a 5-9 just because shes nagging. You said that you like the
change though, but even after she saw all the checks and money you
made shes still nagging, what a BITCH!
To me it seems like your doing quite a lot to make her happy, but she
keeps punishing you. It seems like she would like a REAL GUY: Who works
9-5, hangs out at the local pub after work with 9-5 work buddies(computer time), comes
home late and goes straight to sleep.
