Nope, I'm definitely not saying that. I am saying that there's a lot less
stress if you're single.

Almost all of my stress at my previous job was that I was constantly
feeling guilty. When I was at work, I felt guilty for working over and
being away from my wife. When I was at home, I felt guilty for not doing
work.

I figure something had to give, so I quit my job. It was much cheaper than
quitting my wife, and I liked her a lot more anyway ;-)
