Dident Brad Paisley write a song about this. You should play it for her!

Ya, he did. It has to be one of the dumbest songs i have ever heard. He should be banned from fishing for writing such dribble.

sounds exactly what happened to me! i stopped fishing and hunting in hopes she would be happy, that lasted 2 years in our early stages of the relationship. then it seemed to me it wasnt just the hunting and fishing it became a total control thing..we lasted 11 years have 2 great kids and now as of last february i am single..almost a year now..she now understands she ^%$^% our relationship up and wants to "work it out".. i know now it is not for us..i will never try to please a woman again by stopping what i love....its an early warning sign...it will not stop there!!!!!!

just my input....

Better get rid of her before she makes you marry her, and then all you have to look forward too is the sweet release that only death can bring.

yes, do it before it gets to the " til death do you part"--and you realize you are actually setting a goal

Ahhh Grasshopper, I feel a disturbance in the force. You may wish to try some balance in your life. Remember, without balance even the biggest tree falls over in the wind. Hell, I forgot where I was going with this.

My fiance told me to read this status and as a woman, I am on here to say that he does fishing, ice fishing, hunting, etc. and not once has it bothered me that he does all this including watching daily shows about all this. I would rather him do this than to be a drug addict. Also, I join him on fishing as well and I am very happy with our future because he let me does my hobbies as well.

good job tolley - it may seem strange to you, but you are definitely in the minority when it comes to being the "understanding other half". Typically it's more of a control battle instead of an understanding. What seems crazy to me about the ladies..is...if men are so typical and predictable (and this has been true for hundreds and hundreds of years) ...then why are women so incensed on trying to change us. We are hunter/gatherers - we are simple creatures - just love us and feed us and leave us to our chores (hunting/fishing/drinking/being slobs...yadda yadda) and we become as loyal to you as it gets.

time apart is just as important as time together...... there are simple, albeit underhanded, methods to helping women understand this.

Uh oh.... now you are gonna get a bunch of responses asking if you have any sisters!!

Not from me tho. My wife loves to fish and gets mad only if I buy just one of something. She has asked me, "Since you only bought one, what are you going to use?"

I must be one of the lucky ones.

................

12-31 will be 14 years of saying thank you for not changing me.

Happy anniversary

Amen, Tolley! Better addicted to a fun, worthwhile hobby than something destructive.

Same to you NiagaraJiggin....if we leave you to do your thing then you'll leave US to do our thing and EVERYONE is happy just as long as "girl time" doesn't impose on "guy time" (and vice-versa) and that together time never imposes on out with the buddies time. I for one enjoy it when he's out ice fishing because that means yummy panfish (well on most trips) just as long as everyone's safe and it's not every single weekend. Gives me a chance to enjoy some time to myself as well

Every couple needs some hobbies to share and some hobbies that are just theirs. Keeps the conversations going, too.

But men DO have to realize that -- just like men enjoy staying the same, women as a group love to change things, make things better (why are we usually the interior decorators.....nurses. ......charity event coordinators...activis ts......etc.? Because of our innate nature to "make things better") which unfortunately causes friction in those who oppose changes to or within themselves (can't teach an old dog new tricks etc etc etc). So IMO the preferred way for the guy to go about this is: Find something that she CAN change/make better that is not related to fishing/outdoors (like maybe she can teach you better cooking skills or the right way to do laundry) and then she's satisfied with that little bit of "control" in helping him change something that she'll eventually leave the outdoors thing on its own/unchanged.
(at the risk of being yelled at for explaining the woman's side of things)

My girlfriend just informed me that my ice fishing is very annoying to her due to: my fishing everyday, watching ice fishing videos, and being on ice shanty when I get home from ice fishing. She tells me i'm obsessed.

Your not dating my wife are you

History: One girlfriend in college wrote "I love Vicki" on all my tip up flags. I was pissed.

I spent 8 yrs in a marriage, trying to make her happy...giving up on the things I loved. She was never happy, but I was miserable. I took control and got my old life back.

Now I don't give that part of my life up. Icefishing makes me happy...so it is a must that I keep doing it.

So if your girlfriend is annoyed now, it probably will only get worse my man. Set the rules with her now or lose years.

I did not read all these so someone may have said this already but tell her what I told my wife..... would you rather me be going to bar all night, getting drunk, driving and then go to a strip club?? Or go ice fishing/Hunting where you know I am safe an honest..... She has adapted pretty good, not too much complaining any more... actually got her shooting a bow now
