Oh, divorced too, she liked it at first...4+years and going awesome with the 2nd.....
My point, if you feell guilty going hunting/fishing your not enjoying yourself!
You made a good, honest decision on the first girlfriend.
In general, women never change and they have to be truthful whether or not they are willing to live with the hunting. I had the same problems in my marriage while I restored cars. Then it started with the hunting. Now, I am divorced and as happy as I have ever been. Problem was, I did not hunt nearly as much as my friends, bu when I did - all hell broke loose. It is all about respecting each others' time.
The bottom line is to tell a woman this is what you like to do, and if you do not like it then you might need to reconsider another mate. As simple as that. An earlier poster mentioned that women will try to change you...he is so right.
