It ends if you want it to end.......I understand it takes a big commitment to choose to make your life better and there are a million excuses not to do it but in the end, the decision is yours. But, it's not that it can't be done.
How many others have wives that hate you going hunting?

I've been married for 21 years, and I've got it made.
Going on a day hunt I'll wake at 4:30-5:00 to find a lunch made and coffee brewing. Funny thing is the lunches keep getting bigger, like she's hoping I'll stay out longer

My wife is a good women and I'm fortunate to have her. Makes me wish I was a better man. She wishes too.

Very true. However the problem is not about about taking a commitment to leave, its about deciding that leaving is the right choice.
Divorce, in terms of dissolvement of a marriage, is not like changing underwear. You made a commitment which supperceeds your own as an individual. Sometimes this is tested, and it takes the right conditions to finally bring the hammer.
Another factor is the fact that people like to vent a little. Doesn't mean they are miserable and their wives are completely crazy. It just means that they want to whine and let stuff off their chests. It can get annoying but they need someone to listen sometimes, and agree that yes, that situation sucks. We are in a complaining society. It is common practice to never being happy with what you have, or have negative comments about many things.
Standing for marriage is going down the drain, and people are divorcing like it was a teenage prom girlfriend breakup.
I understand your point of view, but there are other shoes being walked in and I think many of those have validity to them.
On this we can agree....as unfortunate as it is. Sadly, many people are just not willing to accept responsibility for their own lives and work to change the things they complain about. Easier to envy others.

I say you must treat her right, or you make her happy in some ways. She wouldn't go the extra distance if she didn't think so.

Maybe it is the demographics of where I live but 95% of the time it is the woman who decides on divorce and almost always takes off with another guy. Men don't normally sit back and plot a divorce, few have the time.

Try being married to a twin.
haha...no matter what your answer, you're ####ed.
Had several wives, none have been particularly supportive or anti my hunting obsession. Current one makes all the right noises when I ask if she would mind if I went to kill an elephant, Marco, Altai, Bongo or whatever............oh no dear, when, how long a hunt etc. I book everything send off deposits etc and all is good right up until 2 weeks before I leave and then I become a self centred, selfish, SOB. What about all these things she's planned for that 2 weeks or month, blah, blah, blah..........I turn a deaf ear and carry on because I usually have a year or more invested in arrangements and usually 10s of thousands of dollars already spent in deposits, all of which I remind her of, as well as the fact I cleared it with her more than a year earlier. This usually lessens the onslaught for a couple of days and then she is right back on it again, all the while I just keep packing and going through and checking stuff off my list. Then usually about 2 days before I leave we have a BIG blowout, it is almost like it is a rehearsed chain of events.......during the big blowout, it all boils down to she's jealous blah, blah, blah. I also adopt some of what sheephunter says, if you don't like it then change it, and I tell her if she's going to be like this everytime I go hunting then pack your clothes and don't be here when I get back. By the time I'm actually boarding the plane she's all lovey-dovey and it's have a good trip, be careful, I'm going to miss you................Nobody ever said they were easy to live with................So anyway that's my wife/hunting life story, it's not all bad but it is annoying as hell, and I do try and take her every other time or so, which alleviates a lot of this bullsh!t.

Maybe she is worried about your safety, and hides it by giving you crap.

Gonna give you the basics.
"hired" love is a far cheaper option, you have different partners each time if you like, they leave when you are done and there is NO complaining, they will even pretend to have enjoyed it.
Hunting season rolls around , not a soul around to nag you.You could get house cleaning as well , also much cheaper than a spouse.
Some guys build gazebos for the wife others will dig a hole, it is different for everyone and your situation may not appeal to the next fellow.

There is another old saying that supports your hypothesis Kelly......"If it flies, floats or f**ks.....lease it"
My second wife was really into hunting when we were dating, even bought her a couple of guns. Like a previous poster, after the wedding, she was not into hunting at all, a complete change. My current (and third wife) isn't into hunting, but will come with me for the walk when bird hunting and such. She says next year she wants to come out on the moose hunt, but just to hang around camp and cook and stuff. I'm good with that. She also buys me guns and I pretty much go out whenever I want to...when I get back from hunting, it's always to a clean house with beer in the fridge and a good meal waiting for me. I had forgotten that there were still women out there who were skilled in the domestic arts, and I'm pretty happy about it.

My girlfriend fully supports me hunting, she said - "Why would I have a problem with you hunting? I get to eat what you bring home." She knows I enjoy it and it relieves stress for me. We have been only dating a few months but she has alluded to being willing to come hunting too. She just doesn't like early mornings and being cold but she loves the outdoors and we hike all summer long. I think I found a keeper!
