Jeebus - what the heck's wrong with you guys? :lol:

I bet if we were to hide a camera in some of these 'tough guys' houses, we'd catch them saying 'yes dear' a little more often than they let on :lol: :lol: :lol:

Guys, the wife didn't like it, and has since been talked into it. And if ANYONE thinks that didn't happen a lot 100 years ago they're stone cold idiots for sure. :wink:

I might dump a gf if she didn't like my lifestyle, but for god's sake - how seriously do you guys take your marriage vows? Honestly.

Marriage is about being partners and respecting people's thoughts and opinons. Sometimes you gotta pick your fights. Sometimes you have to take the time and energy to let someone get COMFORTABLE about something you want to do.

My GF was a hippie raised anti gun vegitarian when i met her.

It's been about 5 years - she's taking her non-restricted monday after next. No foolin But it took her a few months to understand why hunting and shooting was important to me, that didn't happen overnight.

Itsacookbook - your wife was against it, she listened to how you feel, she came around and changed her mind when she realized it was important to you. THAT'S a keeper.

The rest of you guys -if all you want is a wife that says 'yes' every time you open your mouths, i'd recommend asian mail order :mrgreen: Personally I HATE women with no spine or spirit. But that's just me.

x2 :!:

Foxer, you're absolutely right. He made his case, she listened to it, she considered it, and she came around. Sounds pretty good to me. I couldn't imagine living with a woman who didn't have the courage of her convictions, one who speaks her mind when she feels it's important.

I think many of you missed the tongue-in-cheek overtone of the original post. Lighten up.

Save me Jeebus! :lol:

 

[Foxer]

You calling me an idiot?

You tellin' me 100 years ago women never rose their voice in protest over something their husbands wanted to do, and needed a little 'sweet talking' to bring 'em around? If so would you prefer the term "mind meltingly uninformed"? :lol:

This is about a guy letting his wife tell him what is moraly right and wrong.

No bud, it's about a woman telling her husband that she has a minor moral problem with what he's thinking of doing, there's a big difference. And that's been happening since the dawn of time too.

You're taking this way too seriously. Minor disagreements about morals, money, activities, whatever have been and will be around for as long as men have lied if necessary when she says 'do i look fat in this'.

You want something that never thinks for itself in your life and is under your complete control? (somehow i just can't see you marrying someone like that personally, but think about it for a minute) If you do, you'd likley be better off buying a dog. Or a mirror - some people do chose to live alone all their lives and that's fine too, but it's the only way you're ever going to be in 100 percent agreement with the person you're with.

I don't know if i'd post a thread with quite the title of this one, but how many threads have i seen here over the years that asked 'whats the best way to sneak a gun into the house so the wife didn't know i spent more money?' :lol:

Letting your wife get used to an idea rather than clubbing her over the head and dragging her back into the cave hardly makes one less of a man.

Until they perfect human cloneing, a guy's spouse is pretty much guaranteed to be at least a little different than the guy. So they're going to have different opinions. A guy can chose to find one who's a lap dog with no spirit or spine - i guess, if that's his taste. Or chose to live alone. OR - you can chose to live with people you care about, listen to their opinions, decide how important something is to you or to them, and come to an understanding, and expect them to be understanding too. Which is pretty much what happened.

Yeash. Even fred flinstone listened to his wife from time to time :lol: :lol: Women are people. People have opinions. And those of us crazy enough to try to live with women are therefore going to occasionally have to listen to their opinions, which may not necessarily be the same as ours. If someone can't do that, they're really not suited to be married in the first place.

If you let anybody, man or woman, lecture you on what is right or wrong and you sit there with your tail between your legs and conform to someone else's belief just to avoid conflict you are not a man. People like that make me sick.

 

[Canadian Bush Wacker]

wow

What a thread,lol. This was a good one with many points on both sides. I don't know what to add to this one. But I guess this might be why I am looking for wife #3 and hope to keep this house this time, and at least half on my toys. Hint, if they don't have thier own PAL, I don't care how big thier tits are, they are not on my list anymore

 

[BIGREDD]

I guess every one has a different idea on what they consider a good relationship... and I have mine. :wink:
I suppose I owe cookbook a little background after the hard time I gave him and the rest of you Honeydoers.
I worked three jobs when I was a young man so that my wife could stay home and raise the kids I only took one week a year to hunt for deer.
Long story short... she tried to tell me to quit hunting... I divorced her... I kept the kids and the house and payed her off.
The current G/F has been voted off the island once already and came back after a year with a new attitude. She may well beat the trade deadline yet... but don't take any bets :wink:
I don't want a woman for a partner that does not know what a partnership is or one that believes her opinion is more legitimate than mine. :?
And I certainly do not need a woman who thinks life is a negotiation of wants and desires... :idea:

 

[huntinstuff]

Hunting is a good thing and should be supported.

And thus concludes this edition of "Hunter's Wife...The Real Story".

Next week: Hunter Comedians......here' a glimpse into next week's show:


" The bar is closing for the night. The bartender notes there is a table in the back where a duck, skunk, deer and giraffe are seated. The bartender says "hey, I'm closing up now, pay your tab!"

The duck says "just put it on my bill".

The skunk says " I only have a (s)cent"

The deer says "Well, I had a buck last week but I'm expecting a little doe soon"

And the giraffe says "Don't worry, the high balls are on me"


Stick around, it only gets worse. :wink: :lol: :lol: :lol:

 

[Workin Man]

X3 for what Foxer said. How many of you married guys have never had a disagreement with your wife? Just because they say you can't do something, buy something or go somewhere, and you disagree does not mean your relationship is over. You discuss it, maybe argue about it and in the end, you come to a compromise. For those of you who are bashing Cookbook, I have a challenge for you. Get your wife to read this entire thread, then post on here and tell us how many nights you got to spend on the couch.

 

[BIGREDD]

You poor bastard.... your wife prolly hasn't gave you any ### in so long you could likely apply for your Virginity back... and get it too :!:
Since when did it become the womans prerogative to use ### as a weapon... Oh yeah I know... ever since you lily livered pansies allowed them to :roll:
What is wrong with you miserable gutless plebes... don't you understand... a marriage is not a negotiation or a contest.. and the minute you have to ask for ### or ask permission to do something, you have reduced your marriage to a prison sentence.
I feel sorry for you mindless wretches... hurry up take your wife to the Dairy Queen before her legs get welded shut... :lol:

 

[cdngunner]

then post on here and tell us how many nights you got to spend on the couch.

NONE!

Thats her place. If shes pissed at me,she has to kick herself out of the bedroom!

My bed, my hard earned money that paid for it, I AINT LEAVING

First line of this thread by ?? itsacookbook ??
"Well, I admit it. My wife won't let me go hunting. Guess what's hanging above the fireplace instead of a trophy. "

This whole thread is sad.... I just wanna puke when I hear this crap.
You get one kick at life... you wanna spend with somebody telling you how to live it
Or do you wanna spend it with somebody living it with you...
You won't get any sympathy from me... do I look like Dr. Phil
QUIT YOUR WHINING... GET A NEW LIFE... YOUR OLD LADY HAS YOUR OLD LIFE AND IT SUCKS... I'M SERIOUS

Well REDD you may not have the 270-280 equation right :mrgreen: but you sure got the life equation right on
I've been married 23 years now & wouldn't think of having to ask to go huntin, fishin whatever, nor would I deny my wife the same right to do as she pleased! Marrage is a partner-ship, we help each other accomplish what we like You DO only live once, might as well make it good This thread makes me laugh while feeling sorry for some people :? I see it all the time, some men have been bossed around so much they think that's normal :roll:

Marriage is about being partners and respecting people's thoughts and opinons. Sometimes you gotta pick your fights. Sometimes you have to take the time and energy to let someone get COMFORTABLE about something you want to do

Foxer it's startin to sound like your one of them, If you respect your wife's thoughts & opinions & VISE VERSA what's there to fight about?

 

[walksalot]

Tell your wife that you don't want to go hunting you just want to stay home and screw. :idea: She will probably go buy the tags.

OMG are you wifebeaters still here? For a bunch of tough guys you sure spend a lot of time on a thread with the word ##### in the title. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Sorry we just don't have a lot of respect on a huntin forum for men on their caliused knees askin permission to enjoy themselves :roll:
Oh & were not neccesarily "tough guys", I do cook a lot to but sure wouldn't use it as a user name :shock: maybe you could change it to "mrdothedishes" or "Ilovetocleanthehouse" :lol: :lol:

You start a thread on a Internet hunting site and Whine about how your poor relationship skills have allowed your wife to emasculate you and you're surprised at the responses/intrest?

Perhaps you should consider 1(one) important point. This is a place where guys who love hunting post. The idea that we would be forbidden an opportunity to pursue what for most of us is a life -long obsession becuase we did not have our house in order is tragic and or comical.

 

[cdngunner]

I think the scope of this thread has gotten bigger then just your "incident" itsacookbook.

A lot of the guys are , like mentioned above, are replying to

The idea that we would be forbidden an opportunity to pursue what for most of us is a life -long obsession

.

Their replies are not necessarily aimed at you directly, [well some are ]but to ALL the men who would jepordize their lifes obbsession by letting some else tell them what to do.

Yes your wifes laps of reasoning has been resolved, but there may be a few other men who can learn from your post and the replies made to it.


Well I got to go and beat the wife some more, apparently she left the kitchen and put shoes on :wink: :mrgreen:

Lazy Ike, I also take my shooting sports seriously. But what's tragic (or comical) is that no matter how many times the humour in the original post is pointed out, and despite the fact that I am able to laugh at myself, some people seem so investing in proving themselves to be macho that they just want to read something that isn't there.

For example, if you had a great relationship with your wife and one day you get invited to go gobi fishing but your wife tells you that it is really important to her that you don't because her father was eaten by a gobi, hopefully you wouldn't do it. That's all. My bad in creatively lending too much drama to the original post. Already acknowledged. But come on. Like Foxer suggested, No compromise at all? That's not being a tough guy, thats being alone. Ayhow, if nothing else, this post is popular and hilarious to me when I read through it (and on a huntiing forum) so it can't be too far afield or no one would respond. My sense it that it hits more close to home than some would acknowledge.

I don't want a woman for a partner that does not know what a partnership is or one that believes her opinion is more legitimate than mine.

Redd, it sounds to me that itsacookbook's wife knows exactly what a partnership is. Her initial, gut reaction was to say, "no, don't shoot bambi" but as itsacookbook made his case, she realized that this was something he wants to do, and she came around. She didn't emasculate him, she empowered him. A 'man' is not defined by his dictatorial approach to his wife - that's the behaviour of an adolescent who considers no one but himself. A 'man', especially a successfully married man, is one who always considers his wife's opinions - he doesn't always blindly do whatever she wants, but he at least seriously considers what she has to say. That's respect - and it sounds like it flows both ways in his marriage.

And I'm pretty sure that 'itsacookbook' refers to a Twilight Zone episode, nothing else.

You start a thread on a Internet hunting site and Whine about how your poor relationship skills have allowed your wife to emasculate you and you're surprised at the responses/intrest?

Sounds to me like his relationship skills are pretty good. He got what he wanted by talking with her, not by begging, pleading, stealing, 'putting his foot down', lying, bartering or generally acting like an ####### towards her. I think it's much better to have your wife come around to your way of thinking through gentle persuasion, rather than through just doing what you want to do without any consideration of how she feels about it. It also greatly increases the chances that 1) she'll be there when he returns and 2) that she won't have any problem with it if he wants to do it again.
