You can't worry about the other guy at this moment. You need to go to her and apologize sincerely and ask for forgiveness. You have to go in to that conversation with zero expectations. If she is receptive great, if not so be it. Just walk away and know that you did the right thing. You need to love her now because she is still your wife. You can't control or change her. You control and can change yourself.

She even told me that we could celebrate at night so I could watch the game. I not only gave up the game but I dedicated the whole day to her. I didn't see the game or check scores on my phone. The rest of the season she went out of her way to help me see the games. I showed her, expressed to her that she came before football. She returned the gesture by helping me enjoy the things I enjoy. That is what marriage is about. As the man I believe you are to take the first step. Just one example. Marriages are not repaired by a few words of advice.
Very good words of advice Jon...
I have sold a total of 3 project 4x4's in the course of our 14 year marriage. And I would do it again with no regrets. My family comes first, and always will....

Anyone near the Annapolis area? I think I'm going to get those Mud Terrains that are for sale in that area. My current tires are dry rot and I don't trust them.

Thank you sir and to the others for the kind words. I was a horrible husband for 7 years. I'm glad I've finally started to head in the other direction.

Just wanted to stop in on the tread and introduce myself to everyone in Maryland. I just moved out to Baltimore from Seattle two weeks ago. And yes I drove my XJ from Seattle, only had one problem on the whole trip, the headlight switch overheated and melted as I pulled into my grandma's house in Denver. (Probably the best place to break down, she has a 14 car garage that my grandfather used to rebuilt cars in.)

As of right now the jeep is not very upgraded, it has a RE 2" budget boost/AAL on it right now, I'm going to get the RC shackle kit and a set of Rusty's 3" Springs in the near future. I will also be getting a new set of tire soon, debating if I should go with a 30 or 31. It is a daily driver so I don't want to kill the mpg. What kind of trails are available out here? I haven't really been able to find anything online.

Hope to meet some of you guys out on the trails soon.

Welcome to MD. The Baltimore area doesn't really have anything in the form of "legal" trail. I'm sure the guys will fill you in on where they go. I'm still new too.
