Behind Every Good Man

My wife's not 6 hours into her business trip, I already feel like I've regressed 10 years - pizza, television and internet instead of work; words can't express how nervous I am about waking up on time tomorrow.

I don't know how I feel about this discovery, but it's for real: I try harder because of her.

Does that also mean I would try less if I was alone?

Somehow that sounds worse.
