From my experience, it seems that one can be an "angry young man" up until about 30. Then, if you persist, you're just an a-hole for the next 30 years. At 60, you've earned the right
Don't tell my wife she has to put up with me being a total crotchety a-hole for the next 15 years, I think she might change her stance on gun control and join the NRA.
Now that I know you're 45, I hate to have to tell you that you can't be crotchety for another decade and a half, Matt. That means you're just an a-hole. Don't worry. I did my three decades worth. It goes by really quickly. Our friends, and especially the people who have chosen to live with us, already knew that. If your wife hasn't already tried to kill you, I think you're good.
Of course, there is always the possibility that, without your knowledge, she has TRIED to kill you and failed. Just a thought.
