How many others have wives that hate you going hunting?

What is the quote from Armageddon.....................

"I'd like to name her Dottie............after my wife.....................she is a vicious life sucking ##### from which there is no escape", that sums it up for some fellows.;)

I hope I am close on the quote.

Yes I am single, but I can hunt when I want for as long as I want, spend my money on whatever I want and also get to keep my retirement money too!! :)
 
My wife doesn't mind when I go hunting. As long as everything else is looked after then a bit of time out in the woods is well deserved.

She hates when I come back empty-handed.

If you think that sort of "freedom" is better than a loving, lasting relationship with a really good woman and/or children that you help grow into competent, contributing adults, you are profoundly mistaken, and likely very young. There are deeply satisfying things to learn about that can be found only by becoming a lot more unselfish than that.

If you see all women as "life sucking #####es" and any sacrifices I have made for people I love as something from which I should try to "escape", I can only feel pity.
 
You are making assumptions , none of which are correct.

Just calling it as it as I see it in the real world.Not everybody's situation is the same as the next person's.Not every story has a fairy tale happy ending.

But like I said, I can do as I please when I please, what works for me may not work for the next person.

See , you did it again.;)

Plus a degree of haha goes along way.The most conflict I have are the voices inside my head not getting along.

My world is awesome, anyways , we are straying off topic.

I assume that, at least in the "real world" you inhabit. There are other real worlds that are not nearly so full of conflict as yours seems to be.

Just some advice from an old guy about how to be happier.

Part of finding the right partner is in the acceptance of ones lifestyles and activities, without changing the other person.


My Lady comes with me on more hunting trips than not and doesn't care if I go or how much I spend on guns and hunting. At the same time, I don't care if she wants to go see live drama and opera. She will simply have to go with her friends.


If you went hunting and shooting before you got married and she has a problem with it now, then dump the b*tch. If you began to hunt and shoot after you got married, then you have a problem that you will have to correct with compromise. After all, you are the one bringing the variable of change, not her.
 
My girlfriend doesn't like me hunting, but she's won't catch me on the way. I just have to be with her more, before or after the hunting; and try my best to not leave her alone too long time. It is not the activity she hates. It's all about her concerns of my safety and our savings in the joint account. LOL
 
Youve got to grow some testicles and smarten up... open youre own man account.
The girls all do it but its called a credit card.:eek:

You have to put something away for, if and when, the divorce happens.

That cash comes from buying\ selling guns and fishing, boating gear, bikes, snow machines... what ever.:)

Do youreself a favour and have some liquid cash for hunting. Dont let them bhs drain you completely.:cool:
 
Mine knows from OCT 1st - Dec 31st its MY TIME I go hunting as much as I can. Anytime other then that ill do as she wants. I live for deer season and she respects that :)

Shes a good woman!
 
Mine packs for me and a lady I work with was so happy her husband is off moose hunting. She was getting tired of hearing about it and could use a break, she must love to hear me talk about it all day.:)
 
my gf's family all hunts so she grew up with it. she doesn't hunt or shoot, but the odd time she'll go for a fish with me or out to the hut in the winter one or twice. she's had to haul lot's of partridge, deer, tubs of suckers etc in the trunk of her car that i had no other way to get home. your woman doesnt have to be a part of it if she doesn't want to, but she shouldn't stop you from doing what you love. hunting is what i love and my gf understands that.

My girlfriend doesn't have an issue with me hunting. She comes with sometimes and wants to get a deer. My only issue with her is how much she gets pissed off when I buy a gun. She gives me hell and she's a girlfriend, all our finances are separate. It makes me scared to marry her because I'm afraid I'll always get hell for buying toys.

I'll also say I like to buy guns, but I'm not financially irresponsible. I have zero debt, pay all my bills, have money for a rainy day and I still catch hell. The reason is the woman is sooooo cheap herself. Has no more than a few sets of shoes, 2 pairs of jeans that she only replaces when they wear out, one inexpensive purse/bag and she never spends money on herself. I think this is a good thing because she saves like crazy and doesn't spend money frivolously, but there is too much of a good thing. I hate having the money to buy a gun that has caught my eye and having to think "I can't because she would be too pissed off."

you just need to grow a set and tell her how it is. i honestly cant believe how many men (pussies?) let their women tell them what they can spend money on or what they're allowed to do. hiding things from each other is pathetic and you're only asking for problems in the future. you only get one round on earth so you might as well enjoy it rather than making someone else happy.

if your partner doesnt support your hobbies (or at least fake it) then GTFO.
 
I'm lucky, my wife likes me going hunting. It keeps me out of the house and in a good mood most of the time. I'm not out often but she's supportive and wants me to show my boys how to hunt and shoot as well.
