Hey Virgin Mike I mean Virginia Mike.....I have been married one time and it's been 13 years now and I have two kids. I know guys like you and they are all the same. They are scared to death of their wife. Your a big boy and you shouldn't have to get permission to go hunting from your wife. I do believe you have to balance your family life and your hunting. I go on vacations with the family and do activities with the kids. I even took my 10 year old daughter on her first deer hunt this year and she killed a good 9 pointer. My wife wasn't real happy that she wants to hunt be she understands what it means to me.

You can come on here and sob and hope to find comfort in the hopes you find someone else on here that's in your shoes but don't get mad at me for stating the truth. If you and your domineering wife have trouble go see a councilor or do something that will let you work this out or your destined to live a miserable married life. Good luck.
