I have a hard time with the whole collaboration thing. I have a feeling I probably am unwilling to do it more than I should. I think what bugs me the most is that people don't even try. If you try to do it and then you need help, I am more than happy to help. What we have is people who either don't try or they just think someone else is going to do it and when I get called in that's when I drag my feet on stuff. Maybe it's just because I am an old man. The sad thing is if you ask anyone they will probably tell you I am just generally unhelpful. When that is the furthest thing from the truth, but I can see how it looks that way.
What about with your wife, is that different?
I feel that one of the issues that ahs arisen from the "equality" drive, is that it has made people more individualistic, rather than a team with their partners.
