What to do ..what to do..
« on: February 08, 2007, 09:40:00 PM »
My wife came to me about 2 months ago.  She says Tim you work so much , and on your days off, oyur out shooting at stumps.Thats stupid she says... Than she says, I want us to spend more time together.......A feeling of fear rushes over me like cold gatoraid at the superbowl..

so I do what any good Son, oops- I mean Husband would do.  Go with me I Say so long story short we make a weekend of kalamazoo.  

Hey, she says waving me over to the black widow booth,  pointing at the tabs and says I thought you only paid 2.50 for yours?!?!  Now revertback to the gatoraid feeling.  "It must have been on sale ,HONEY.

than she noticed the arrows- how did you getyours so cheap? -GATORAID-  by the end of the day she was really mad.  When I thought the day was over. she makes a B line over to the DAS booth. she talks to John then gives me a very stern look.    $500 bucks Huh?  

it was a very long ride back to cincinnati.....

I think I'm going   :knothead:  to work MORE!

she about crapped when she found  out how much a new DAS master is........

Like I told her I could be spending it atthe strip clubs like some guys.....

That did not help.. her answer was   "ARE YOU SAYING YOU WANT TO GO TO THE STRIP CLUBS WITH YOUR FRIENDS""      OMG   its a lose lose situation...   Than I said just forget it MOM!!!


Wow I have never actually seen horns come out of a womans head before " my dad warned me of this- --don't make eye contact and run" but I couldn't go any where I was still in the car.

I thought I was dead,  than to make it worse she called her mom and my mom they want to have a meeting. Iaskedmy dad for moral support but he said I'm on my own...Thanks dad.

DANG!!! i feel for you.  what a bummer.... i don't think i will be taking my better half to any gatherings that's for sure.  hey just a thought, go take a peek at her wardrobe. see how many articles of clothing you have compared to hers and don't forget the pocket books and shoes.  you might be able to tally her up to be more than your bowhunting stuff.

I never had that problem with my ex wife. She'd ask about all my nessary hunting equipment and how much I paid for it. Then I would tell her I'd confess all me spending ammounts if she could tell me how many pairs of shoes she owns and the ammount of MY money she spend buying them. To make a long story short she never asked me another question about how much I spent on hunting equipment. LOL

Yep,

My policy has been give 'em the whole truth every time. It might hurt in the beginning but they get over it in a couple of days. When I waited the Guillotine just got heavier and sharper.. :scared:

I'm with Firstarrow all the way on this one.
Up front and full disclosure is the only way to go. I'll go one better though.  Buy her a bow and get her shooting. Before ya know it the purchase of arrows,additional bows and accessories will be a mutual agreement.  But for now if ya need more than one extra blanket for the dog house I'll make the second donation.     :biglaugh:

I know a guy that says to ask forgiveness is easlier than permission. Think I know two now, (and as Ron says I had the right to remain silent, I just didn't have the ability.) Sorry no blankets I'm sharing them with her.

Great story. Use this for emergency only. Take ALL 30 pairs of black shoes out of her closet and line them up for her. How many pairs of the same shoes do you need Honey?

you could always tell her that you bought the bow because it reminded you of her.  the curvy lines, beautiful shape, color and how it feels in your arms. it makes you think of her all the while you are hunting and how much you can't wait to get home to her after a long day in the field.

coyote Tim...you must be surviving or you have a computer in the doghouse....good luck with the whole thing, we're pullin' for ya!

Paleface - how many other "excuses" do you have waiting in the wings?  Sounds like a man that has been there.  But I'm not believing your woman fell for that last one.....
