I think the most wretched thing happened the night before last. A girl that Britt knew and played soccer with was shot in the chest by a boy friend who then shot himself in the head. Of course with all the other things that have happened in her life she is handling it like a champ so far and I am very proud of her. The only problem was that when she called me this afternoon and she was crying I got really angry at myself because I was sitting there stuck at work and not able to come to her rescue. Some may think it frivelous to get angry over something of this dimension but to me the dominant role of the male in the relationship is highly important and I think is lost in the sight of today's youth and young adults.
As the alpha-male, I believe that your responseblility is to provide all support to your wife and kids. And when it does come down to making decisions selfish thoughts should not even be present. The well being of the family unit should be your first priority. I was just brought up like this by my mother and step father. I think it is also out of primal instinct. For example, if someone messes with my gf I immediatley have a surge of adrenaline that pumps through my muscles and tells me to protect and preserve. I kinda felt the same way today when ever she called me and was upset. It was my job to provide support and stability and I fell short of my responsibilities, there for I got upset not with her, but with myself because I was inadequate. Again people may laugh at me and say that we are only dating but when ever I look that father and mother in the eye the first time I meet them, there is an unspoken vow that while she is with me I am responsible for anything that is to ever happen to her and I commit myself that I will expense any resources possible to make sure that she is not in harms way. If you are snickering right now, what standards have you been raised with?? Maybe you are the actual person that people are laughing at because you don't take your responsiblities seriously???
