Private counseling might save a relationship....public bickering will only entertain those who are as selfish, immature, whiney, egocentric and self-aggrandizing as you are. Mabe you should wait until you grow up before you attempt another &quot;serious&quot; relationship</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Chris,<br

May you both continue to bitch publicly about each other, avoid counseling, and continue baring your dirty laundry in public in general. Sounds like a GREAT way to strengthen a relationship.
Oh, and yeah, when traveling... make sure to spend LOTS of time in front of a computer.  Especially a wireless connection on the beach.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>All I can say is&#8230; seems like you both deserve each other.

Having listened to your podcasts with Ponzi, she sounds like a really special woman who deserves at least that much.  Try and make it about her for awhile and you&#039;ll find that you&#039;ll have a much better time.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Dude, every one of your statements starts with &#8220;I&#8221;.

Now stop whining, kill the passive aggressive fucktardness, and suck it up.
I mean seriously, I&#039;ve been there, I&#039;ve done exactly what you&#039;re doing, and you know very well that you are perfectly capable of just dropping all the complaining and dealing with your personal and medical issues on your own, quietly.  Not oh-woe-is-me suffering in silence but nobly bearing up under discomfort.
Isn&#039;t she worth the sacrifice?  Can&#039;t you do this for her, to make her happy?</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#39;m right there with you #s 1-13.  Plus I hate sand and burn very easily.  And my wife loves the beach, so I know how you feel.<br

Hope you work it out.

What on earth posessed you to post this?
&quot;Yes dear, I&#039;m sorry for being such a dickhead&quot; goes a very long way.  I have gotten so much mileage out of this it&#039;s frightening.  Take a note on that one.
Sounds like you wanted a fight.  Sounds like you&#039;ve got one now.

#1: You admit you make the mistake of stating your discomfort.  This is something you can work on.  Combined with #8, we can all guess you&#039;ll pick next year&#039;s vacation spot.
#3 sounds as if itÂ’s inspired by #2, and is quite logical.
#9 is Wisdom, inspired by the very practical experiences of #2
#6 falls into #7.  7 is part of life with a mate, and is something you both work on.  Unless you want to vacay in your own neighborhood, you deal with it on the times you do go far.
#4 and #10: Agree and Agree.  Let her enjoy the pampering.  My idea of pampering involves a bar stool and some adult beverages; your mileage may vary, but whatever pampers you, indulge yourself while she does the same.
#12: Having never been in that position, I can&#039;t address it from my experience.  However, being the public persona that you are, I think taking defensive measures to protect your privacy is reasonable.  Heck, you&#039;re not breaking their camera, like others might.
#5 sounds like a negotiable point; I would wager you would be considerably flexible here if she would consider your positions on the above issues.
#13: Jump ball...  Perhaps your descriptions were too impersonal. As in #5, if she had considered your positions on these other issues, perhaps your mood (and this description) may have been softer.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This from a man married 15 years.<br

You&#039;re being an unmitigated, full-on dickhead.  Open your eyes, dude.  Your behaviour re-defines selfish.
Realize that the world consists of entities other than yourself and that you&#039;re taking Ponzi for granted, dude.
You should check yourself before you wreck yourself, honestly.  She&#039;s seems nice enough to put up with you, so take the time to self-evaluate.
&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Christ, man!  Quit whining and enjoy yourself.  You&#039;re in Maui with a playboy-caliber girlfriend.  Hellloo!!!!???&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Chris,<br
