huntinwv

Hunting is only for a couple of months a year. I bet she shops more than that???

I feel sorry for u, but u need to sit your foot down!

My ole lady knew from day one what I would be doing during hunting season.

You didn't say how many years ya'll have been married, but with two boys I guess it is 5+ years. Sounds like there isn't an easy answer. Has this been gradually building the entire time of your marriage? Unless ya'll can have a complete understanding of the amount of time you want and need while hunting sounds like nobody will be happy. No easy answer, good luck. Professional counseling?

Sounds like a little more is wrong than just her being unhappy with you hunting. If she's alone all day not working, she's probably bored to tears, then wants plenty of attention from you leaving her feeling abandoned when you take off hunting. Could be wrong, just a hunch.

Not sure how to solve it whateve it is, I think you need to start with a foundation and understanding though. My wife loves the fall and wishes to spend every second she can with me, but realizes that I wouldn't be any fun to hang with unless I got my hunting fix.

That is a total downer. When I get married there will be an understanding that this time of year I will be in the field a lot. My girlfriend who I currently live with is very understanding of me going out for a long weekend with the boys and hunting. Your wife should have known this going into it.

There is no reason you should quit hunting you'll jsut end up being angry with yourself.

Tell her first to get a job & then a life .That way you would be able to take more time off to go hunting ,& with all her new friends at work she would not miss you as much.And with any luck her boss would take a liken to her and sweep her out of your life for ever.
You and the kids would be free to enjoy a good life and she would get a new start at destroying someone elses.

Or of course you could put your apron back on and try to get the dishes done before days of our lives is over!!!!!!!!

I would have to agree with everyone. Did she know prior to you getting married that you enjoy hunting and all of the good stuff behind it? First, ask her if she likes to eat? Then tell her that you are a provider and you put food on the table for your entire family to eat. It's not that you want to spend time away from her, but that you have to spend time away from her to help her to survive by providing food. If that doesn't work, then there must be something else, other than you going hunting that she seems to be missing.

Your entitled to your hobbie . . . She should be happy that it is not collecting child porn or some other such twisted thing. If you were a big golfer you would be gone every weekend too. . . .She needs to know that you give her her space and time for her hobbies and thus you should get yours. If you two are to spend 24/7 tied at the hip there is a bigger problem a brewing, a bit insecure perhaps. Tell her that next week you have a 2 day pool tournement at the local topless bar, might make hunting sound pretty safe.

I bet if packaged right Hunting is a pretty good thing afterall . . . . Or you have someone that needs to grow up a bit.

Good luck. . . . .
