There is a huge list of people on this board that are not qualified to give you any good advise with this and I am one of them. I believe there was no way to save mine without tossing my balls in the garbage and being unhappy.
The thought of me having a good time doing what I loved without her or with her while she wasn't enjoying it just pissed her off. I couldn't give it up and she just didn't get it. Game Over


Good luck. Hope she is worth the sacrifice or she figures it out. If your happyness doesn't mean anything to her gtfo.

This.

Truth: Over the last 4 years I pretty much gave up my life working on our property and building our house. I have continued to be busy working side jobs for money (with skills I picked up in the last 4 years) so money isn't an issue, time is. I have a stack of kitchen passes so tall, it has a flashing red light on top to warn the planes flying by.

I make sure I set time to spend with the wife, first and foremost. The boys (our sons) are our first priority, but I make sure she feels confident in our relationship everyday. I make sure she has her time to spend with friends, and I encourage her to do so. She does roller derby, so she gets lots of "her" time. Need a black eye? Talk back to my wife, the probation officer. No, really, that is what she does.

Whenever you return from a fishing trip, thank them for "letting" you go (mind fuk 'em), and make sure you are in a good mood. They will realize that "letting" you go fishing works out for them as well.

In truth, it is all about creating an honest relationship and reasonable expectations. You need to fish & hunt, as that is what makes you "you". A relationship will require some moderation at times.

tell her, if you cant fish, you better start working your jaw muscles out... bet that attitude changes rather quickly...

PS, thank me later, you could have a potential gold mine on your hands...

im lucky my hubby likes to fish...but we did split up and i dated other guys that fished, just they didnt fish enough or i should say they didnt want to spend every day they had off fishing...to me and you may call me needy, i need to have a partner that fishes...not just fishes but wants to fish as much as i do...god forbid when we get old enough to not be able to fish as much..i just hope by then we will have life in common...

ill be frank when i say this but the other key to a good realitionship in my eyes and i may be a minority here but as long as she is getting enough in the bedroom that should keep her happy...cause if your getting enough you stop bitching...or at least i do

sex and fishing...thats the ticket give her enough and she will be silly slapped and want a break

You got it Twitch, then she starts out fishing you and game on as she is hooked. Ain't no women alive that wants to be second fiddle even in catching fish. It just is not in that side the species.

Yeah that, gave my gf of 12 years a pair of waders the first Christmas together. Told her that fishing is what I do and she can either come with or see ya when I get home. Never in 12 years had any problems fishing as much as I want, and sometimes it's a lot.



She wants to spend every second of free time with you but not go fishing? Ring?? thinking with the wrong head if you want to go fishing. 13 years ago I left my ex who threw a fit if I wanted to fish, "this is what I get after five years?" Sayonara!

As someone else said the key is to set expectations early.

My best advice to new husbands is if you don't plan on going all out for things like birthdays, anniversaries, valetines days etc. for the rest of your life don't do it the first year. Once you start you're stuck, because if you ever stop they'll take it as an insult. (I'm not saying be a total slacker, but I see guys going way overboard the first year and I'm like man you are setting youself up for a world of hurt a couple years down the line)

Same concept goes for fishing, if you want to go fishing every weekend in the fall you should have been doing while you were still dating. That way she can't come back with "remember when you used to spend every weekend with me" when you ask to go fishing.

Going of 14 years, have two kids and I still fish at least once a week from June though April.

Wife gets her girl nights out and girls weekends and I get my fishing trips. If you want to last you both need you separate activities and equal oppurtunity to do them without bitching from either side.

hahahha...if i got it every day i would never bitch...but my hubby controls the c@ck and he keeps it that way...hahahah

sounds like hes screwing up... best way to shut em up, its to fill em up, every single day... dont go taking that to the bank tho, some of you old farts might break a hip!!

Relationships like this will eat your soul. She needs a hobby of her own and some friends. Sign her up for a book club or something.

I work 4/10's too! Friday is my "free" day (fishin' every chance I can). Weekends is for us. Either riding the bike (unless it's 40 below and raining), fishin' together or sometimes, doing what she wants.

this whole thread should be deleted,

fb

If she doesn't like to go fishing and doesn't like you to go fishing staying with her means you will not have a moment of peace regardless. You feel like your tied down because you can't fish if oyu don't or she will make your life miserable if you do fish.

Best said by a friends uncle's plaque: We interupt this wedding for fishing season.

If she complains about your fishing, go hunting. If she complains about your hunting, take up golf. If she complains about that, go drinking with your friends. Keep moving, and sleep with one eye open. She will never get your balls! Married 47 years and still learning...





to keep my mouth shut and do what I'm told. hahahah

You owe me a shot of Lagavulin, Coley!

Damn.... still trying to lick it off the monitor!

As for the Closer...

Dude, you're screwed!

Take it from someone who knows.

Cut yer losses while yer ahead.

Just tell her you're going fishing and if she complains tell her she's lucky you don't hunt. If that doesn't work give her your credit card and tell her to go shopping.

Some guys get away with murder, while others are hen pecked to death. Not sure why that is.

I do like Redhooks approach about her jaw muscle excercises

If fishing is you passion, then she needs to respect that. Chances are that it will NOT get better with time. If your not happy, TELL HER. If she's not willing to change then........ thats a decision only you can make

Either way good luck!!!

I am surprised at all of the"cut your losses" advise and negativity. Who is to say this isn't an easily corrected issue and that a little work can't result in a better relationship in the end?

No freaking wonder we are at an all time low in marriage success rate. When the going gets tough...bail?

Work on it dude. If you both truly care about the relationship and each other, you'll find a compromise. If you don't, you'll reach an impasse and either hate each other for the rest of your lives or call it quits...like 60 odd percent of folks that say "I do" these days.

You gotta choose the right woman. The reason why most marriages end in divorce is because a bunch of bed wetting pussies let woman have too many rights. In fact more rights than a man. Back in the 50's you could smack the hell out of your woman and no one would say a thing, (I'm not saying it was right) but now if you even yell at your old lady and the cops come 9 out of 10 times your going to jail. Do what you want but I would seriously reconsider your relationship with this gal. Marriage these days isn't meant to benefit the man and besides It's not like her pussy is lined with velvet. Woman are fungible go find a new one.
