Don't get me wrong, I'll comprimise with my wife and spend time with my family zoned on the tv and shit UNLESS I'M ON A ROLL. In this case, she understands that "I'm doin my thang" and that's it. That's all there is. I would never, nor would she ever expect me to, give up my music, not for anything... if I lose my arms, legs, feet and hands, I'll be the first person to learn to play the keyboard with my nose, or other extremity.
I would say that no person is more important than your dreams. You have to be TRUE to YOU first, or how the fuck will she ever expect you to be TRUE TO HER?!?!
If you give up your dreams and put it on the back burner for her, you will always resent her for it, and there will be issues to deal with because of it. tell her ass to come to the lab with you and stfu or she just is NOT worth your time, no matter how much love is there.
The only woman that I ever let tell me what to do (I was 13, 28 now) ran my fuckn life and always would just bear down harder until she had taken just about everything I loved away from me, don't be a fuckin trick d00d! She had a kid by me and she is still takin my life away in the form of back child support using the leverage of the gov't to fuck me over to this very day all because she wants me and can't have me cuz I moved on!!!
After her, I TOOK CONTROL of every relationship and said "my way or tha highway", and if you have any kind of cojones at all, tell her to deal with it and if she can't then "be on your way girl"
There's a trillion more girlies (prolly better lookin too) to get involved with and the right one will be KNOWN by you the second you meet her. I did, after dealin with a bunch of punk ass hoes for awhile, I knew my wife was the one when I met her, she was just WAY TOO DOWN WITH EVERYTHING I WANTED to deny it, and she was the best thing that ever happened to me. If you can't say this about your current nag bag, lose her ass QUICK.
I learned that pimpin aint easy and that trickin is bad for your health. STAY ON YOUR GAME, don't let her run you down d00d, stay up! keep your chin HIGH UP in the clouds.
FIRST YOU GET THA POWER, THEN YOU GET THE MONEY, THEN YOU GET THE PUSSY, DON'T BE NO DUMMY!
