[theatrical_muse] What is your worst quality as a significant other?
I work too much. I suppose that’s a big part of what ruined my marriage. I’m not going to take the whole blame, I’ve gotten past being that particular punching bag but it’s always been who I am. I get consumed, completely consumed by my work and my focus shifts from the person I’m with to the work I feel has to be done. I think it’s a trait I share with most doctors, it’s hard to separate our work life from home because we’re at work more than home. Work practically becomes home to us. I guess I should have learned more from my father. How not to get consumed, or at least been more aware when I was being consumed by work but I never claimed that I knew everything.
Sarah said I would always need something to fix and she wasn’t wrong. I think that’s another trait I share with most doctors, we do have that innate need to make things better. To heal, why the hell did we go into the profession in the first place if not to help people. I guess I just forgot to keep myself from being broken all over again and it happened slowly, at least in my eyes it did. Maybe it was quick and I just didn’t notice.
Possibly that’s another problem, sometimes things happen and you just don’t notice. Like when your wife starts cheating on you or having too much contact with your father - which I still find suspect for the record.
There are a lot of problems I have, pieces of me that might not ever really be suited to be with another person. Or maybe its just finding the person to fit with. I really don’t know. You do what you can, we all do what we can because what else can you do?
