The Dude and you were married for six months. You wouldn't say that this person would be ready for a settled family life, looking back at his turbulent past. And he was still picking up part-time jobs here and there, in the desire to find a good, well-paid job. But it seems that you two and your dog Champ were still happy and greeted the new day with hope and faith in the best. He's your goofy, stubborn, sometimes unstable social phobe with anger issues and laziness lovely hubby.
