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.
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.
And why aren't you married to her yet?
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?
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!
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 itor expect to hear an earfull when you get home! Life is too short.........GO FISHING!
DIAMONDS......... that'll shut her up.
You gotta to either get her interested in ice fishing or find another girl who is. I'm lucky my wife loves icefishing.
