Matthew Hongoltz-Hetling
In another example of life's absurdities, when I do a good job of writing an article or book, I get complimentary emails from strangers. Meanwhile my wife, who literally saves lives every week while doing high-stress work as an operating room nurse, toils thanklessly.
I used to feel guilty about this praise disparity.
But happily, I've convinced myself that the guilt I feel proves that I'm a great guy, and therefore clearly deserve the disproportionate amounts of praise.
My wife is an understanding partner.
