This is a good thread. Like most say on here, balancing it all out is key in the relationship but sometimes I just have to say "I told you about this addiction from the beginning".....then she gets quiet and says "oh yeah"....LMFAO

Man it sounds like most of you have it good. Real good. My G/F hates it when I fish or hunt. Almost everytime I go out she is mad. Not because we had plans just because I am not with her. I dont do hardly any weekend trips or stuff like that just local pond hopin. I am a firemen so I have alot of days off and like to fish 2 or 3 times a week for a couple hours at a time. She never tells me no but always get attitude. I have tried to get her involved. She said she wanted to start hunting so I bought her a bow and she practiced alot the first year then missed a nice little buck. When gun season came she wanted to go and shot a huge doe. She said she had fun and was excited about next year until it came around. Last fall her bow sat around collecting dust. She never hunted once. I have tried to take her fishing. She came out one time and we had a riot we both limited in a couple hours. That was the last time she fished. Im stumped. She would rather sit at home and watch the LIFETIME channel and hold down the couch. I cant handle sitting at home. I guess Im just gonna have to live with it because I love her but am never NEVER gonna give up doing what I love to do. She can be mad. LOL.

i guess i'm lucky too my gf only gets mad when she doesn't get to go because she has to work. right from the start i told her this is what i do i fish winter spring summer and fall. her first fish was a 3lb lm bass through the ice and i am proud to say iv'e created a monster!! she loves it and we fish whenever we can. i do however take time to do things she likes eg. movies dinner out visiting friends shopping well maybe not to much shopping unless there's a sporting goods section!!!

My girl friend just about pushes me out the door, I know what you're thinking she fooling around but that not the case. She feels that if she tries to hold me back from what I did before we met that I'd dump her. We spend our time together & that good enough for her. This is a girl went out & bought me a T.C. muzzle loader for X-mas 2yrs. ago. She's a keeper.

EddieRod · « **Reply #39 on:** Jan 05, 2011, 03:35 PM »

They need to know right from the get - go. Never had a problem with the wife with hunting or fishing... She doesn't like the cold but if we get out in the summer she's ready for some Crappie fishing.. Mostly I think they all ( kids and Mom ) would rather have me out of the house than screaming all day anyway.

Welcome to my world

I actually did it twice, first one lasted 10 years, always simply dealt with the attitude, then she was gone

Now round 2, its been 10 additional years........... (I do put about 150 days on the water a year) but same ole is happening again. "No problem, you can go Tom, I really don't care anymore!" ATTITUDE ATTITUDE ATTITUDE

But I pay the bills I figure....... So I just go

........ as he sits here hoping she don't see this !!!!

I remember when we met, we went to the Casino together a few weeks later, I handed her 20 bucks, said here go play Keno, so she buys pull-tabs??? ............... First ticket she wins 3 grand !!!! Ever since she hates the Casino with a passion, if I bring it up we fight for 2 days................. go figure huh !!!!

And why aren't you married to her yet?

By the way, 1 wife for 40 years is far less expensive than an ex - wife and a girlfriend or 2.

I don't get this "she gets mad when I go" crap. What are they, three years old? If they don't love you enough to support you in what you love to do, there are "plenty of fish in the sea" if you'll pardon the pun, but seriously, get one that understands.

JoeM · « **Reply #45 on:** Jan 05, 2011, 04:50 PM »

Wow I must have it good then. Spring time is usually spent fishing, and getting the race car ready. Summer is mostly spent racing and working on the car, then fall comes and bow needs to come out for deer season. Usually right before the lakes freeze up I spend some long nights working on the car until the addiction of ice fishing sets in. All this is accomplished while working m-f 7:30-5. I figured all the time and money put into the hobbies would leave me single forever. She does love to ice fish (as long as we are catching something), and is always at the track with me. Been together almost 7 years and couldn't be happier. No kids yet, but that is the key. Along with finding a good balance for yout time.

Nutsicles · « **Reply #46 on:** Jan 05, 2011, 05:03 PM »

Find another one bro, told my GF before we started dating. I fish a lot, a lot. Seriously, I fish a lot. She's never given me any crap about it, because she knows it makes me happy. If I'm happy, then she's happy. Of course, you have to do stuff with her also, but if she can't see that it's something you love to do, then it's time to hit the road lady!!

Also, it's funny how everyone on iceshanty turns into Dr. Phil, when a fellow ice man needs help with a woman!!! Now I'm guilty too. Bro's before Hose!!!

My GF is always yelling at me because i would rather restring a pole or do anything with fishing then hang out with her and watch tv. Then when the weekend comes along i go fishing but momma's not happy. Do any fellow hard water addicts have this problem?

Time to start over! You will be at a disadvantage for a long time if not! Nothing better than sharing the great outdors, ice, snow, woods and water with a wife or girlfriend.

Throw her back, there are plenty of fish in the sea!

all i had to do was buy a bigger shanty now when me and my fishing buddy go out are wife's come with us and hang out in the heated shanty all day with the radio and beer and all are happy

Kinda know what you're going through BUT from the otherside. You see, I'm a female, who

would rather be out hunting or fishing instead of going to a Mall $:-\$ And the funny thing is,

I've yet to find a guy, who loves the outdoors as much as me

But like me , you need to keep doing things in life that make you happy......you shouldn't feel guilty about it

or expect to hear an earfull when you get home! Life is too short.........GO FISHING!

Why dont women understand??? Because we dont tell them from day one! Most relationships start in a big lie that snowballs.In the begining we are in that "new puppy" love phase where all we worry about is making them happy so we loose sight of what makes us happy. People need to be honest from day one.
Im engaged to an awesome girl now but I was brutaly honest right away. The first night we spent together I got up at 5am and went bowhunting... She knew that april first started trout season, may was walleye, I had a camp on the Delly, sept was salmon season, october n november was archery and walleyes, then came icefishing, ect, and if this was going to bother her then the door is right over there! Sure relationships are about comprimise but its not my job to make the other person happy at the cost of who I am...
I have been in some bad relationships that both parties thought the other would change. Small things change and thats it, ie - put the seat down, dont fart at the table...
Good luck!

Yup.... However, women LIE.... Very well..... Or they play dumb (I didn't know you were THAT intense about it!).

And if she truly understands and gives the grief, (so long as you're not procrastinating getting stuff done together) then she really doesn't have a point, and if the next step is beeeatchville, you must be strong enough to explain the operation of a door knob, once..... And then embark on finding another.....

I got my wife a Lady Ice Set by HT for her for christmas, and she keeps asking to go with me know, it is pretty nice to have someone that will go fishing and hunting with, even if I do have to take the fish off the hook!

Mainehazmt · « **Reply #54 on:** Jan 05, 2011, 05:53 PM »

This subject should be renamed to the Wussification of the American Male! training my boy training day one! you let her train you!
1 have her keep her expectations of you low
2 Make sure she has a job that will keep her busy
3 don't keep house for her remember rule 1 low expectations

training that's what it takes!

first time she came over she should have known looking at the living room deer head placed predominately over the couch gun safe just off the living room or near the large screen TV life time channel locked out of the satellite table full of sporting goods catalogs Cami colored sheets and blanket if not just a sleeping bag on the bed she asks you when or specifies a certain date to go out tell her your going fishing that day

a drive in the country is for scouting or siteing in a rifle walk on the beach is for surf fishing you get what I'm saying training

Play the man card!

your thinking with the wrong part! when you get older that part will eventually fail but you can still fish!!!

You gotta to either get her interested in ice fishing or find another girl who is. I'm lucky my wife loves icefishing.

Thats looks like a good idea for you!

rayfish · « **Reply #59 on:** Jan 05, 2011, 08:11 PM »

If you give you get! Its that simple.

Hunting 8 hours- 2 hours for her at the salon
Fishing 6 hours- 3 hours for her at the outlets
Hunting for 3 days straight- overnight with her girlfriends
Buying camp in 100 islands- 2 baby girls for her (and us)

Vexilar fl-18 as a wedding present- diamond necklass for her wedding present

it's all good!

ps take her with once and awhile
