I'm not sure what he meant by that, but being a man means NOT leaving your wife and daughters while you've still got a chance to keep them. You've already owned up to your "stupidity" (your word), so go fix it. Sometimes being a man means laying down your pride, your happiness, and sometimes even your Montero to keep her happy.

You're in the military. . . you know what it means to make personal sacrifice for a greater good. In this case, your family, your wife's happiness, and keeping your children's parents together is the greater good.

My prayers are with you, your wife, and your daughters.
