With marriage and children it will get WAY worse. My wife puts up with my hunting but doesn’t like it. I gave up fishing since it was not a passion like hunting is and that helped. I only liked fished for something to pass the time but love hunting and will do it until I’m in a wheelchair. When we had kids I slowed down my hunting from 5-7 days a week to 3-5 because I wanted to spend more time with my kids.

Bottom line if you are a passionate hunter and she can’t deal with it she can’t deal with you. I don’t know your situation but if it is that important to you and you are not going to give it up you would be better giving her up before getting married and having kids. My brother could not afford to hunt for the 1st two years after his divorce due to all the CHILD SUPPORT he had to pay. You might save yourself some heartache by breaking it off now.
