Easy guys. She's not trying to change me (and knows she couldn't anyway, I grew up in the bush, not something i'll just give away) and after I told her I was keeping the fish she was upset but let it go. I was looking for some good suggestions, and some of yous have been very helpfull, others have not been. She's squeamish, not a idoit, she knows where chicken, meat, eggs ect come from. It may have been my fault more then hers, she's gone "fishing" before but to her that was sitting on a dock and getting baby bass which were thrown back in, it was her first time out doing some real fishing and I assumed she knew, which was my fault not hers. Next time we'll have a chat before hand so its not as much of a shock and take it from there as others have suggested. Thanks for your input some has been helpfull.
Woodsman said:Have you chosen her for a long term relationship and want to have kids with her? If you do plan a long term relationship with her, it will always come up. "Do you need to go hunting again?" "Oh ok." "No action for you buddy if you do!" A continuous dilema...you will always have to make choices that leave you feeling sour no matter what you do. She must really be the choicest piece of azz to hang on to her...or your sport is just not worth keeping. You won't be the first to have to choose. Choose wisely.
For 25 years I have lived with a woman and the same stuff gets said year after year...
"When will you be back, you must know when you will be back..."
Tell her that according to Nirvana fish don't have any feelings... so get over it.
Sometime around the end of November -- give or take a week or two depending on whether I get the Camp Wainwright draw or not.
