This reminded me of a story someone once told me. According to it a man in ancient Athens told a philosopher that the man's wife had all these nice qualities, but also bad ones, and that the man's mistress had all these other nice qualities, but also some bad qualities, all different from the man's wife, though. He then asked the philosopher which one should he choose. The philosopher answered: "Whichever you choose, you will regret your choice."
I don't know if this story was connected to anything, but I like the story

My choice is a bit of a compromise, I have my family and I try to have some time in the black pit too. And yes, I have to keep my pit time limited, otherwise my wife will dump all over me - and I haven't even learned to like that yet.
