I planned a trip to wisconsin for about a week and a half. This being my first planned hunting trip of our marriage, my wife was a little upset. We argued about it for a while when I told her how much it was going to cost me. I assured her all the money would be from my own saving not ours. Her final argument was "what if I took my own vacation for a week and a half, how wouold you like that?" and I said I wouldnt give a crap. End of story. I guess it made her realize that she was being a bit irrational, and that i really wouldnt care. If she took off for a week and a half, I would probably hunt the whole time. She was actually dissapointed for me when the trip got cancelled. Moral being, maybe you should tell her that this is what you want to do, if she has a problem with being alone, why doesnt she look for something that she likes to do.
