Got the first of the year “this is getting annoying” from the Ol ball n chain

[Bonefreak]

Being recently retired…I’m spending a lil more than average amount of time in the woods this fall. So after I made the kids some lunch I said you wouldn’t mind if I hit the woods….& out it came of the fiery red headed dragon….the first “this is getting annoying”.  Ugh. 
 

I advised her that 2 of my target bucks are ready to be killed….& once one hits the dirt….I can focus on duck season….run the beagle for rabbits and take the setter for birds…get ready for permit bow and fall Striper run…finish out my remaining 2 tournaments for my bass club and the Classic. And at least 1 or 2 more crab n clam trips

she looked at me like i was speaking in foreign tongue

Lol .. similar here!  Trying to explain my schedule to The Wife is difficult .. 

"When can I schedule vacation? You are always in the woods."

...

"Well, I can't help it. I only have 1 week of early duck season and that's next week!

And the rut only lasts a couple weeks in November.

Who knows when the bear hunt will be cancelled again . Got to get out for that.

And we only get one week in December for 6-day.

And pheasant season only lasts for about 6 weeks out of the entire year.

And goose is only 1 month out of the year. I can't miss that.

Coastal duck season really only gets going in January... Only a few weeks for that! I need my duck hunting fix.

And I only get 5 weeks of turkey in the spring and then it's over.

Gotta go crow hunting in August ... otherwise I'll never be able to go because all the other hunting seasons start up soon after and I'll be doing that.

Fluke fishing is only open in the summer! I have to do that before I miss out.

...... Ok, maybe I am in the woods alot

Don't take it personally, women just like to hear themselves talk sometimes, you need to work on your listening skills, when you master that you will not hear a thing...lmao

Remember Marriage is Grand . Divorce is a 100 grand.

I work full time, have started doing side jobs and still trying to enjoy my life, I swear my wives ears only work when talk about things I like. I got 8 years to work as much as looking forward to it, it scares the freak out of me knowing I will never be away from her 😂

I’ve never asked my wife I could go hunting, I always told her I was going. I made it very clear to her when we first met that it wasn’t open for discussion. Only time I said I would not go was for weddings or funerals . The few times she tried testing me I would go hunting more, but I could be a dick at times😁

In 26 years, I have never asked to go to the woods. The first time I do it will be all over. She will think she can regulate my hunting time. Nope nada isn't gonna happen.

My problem is, I never hunted when we met, or even for the first 20 years of our marriage. I just up and one day said, "I think I want to try hunting." It just snowballed after that ... To this day, I still can't believe she doesn't put up a bigger stink than she does, especially with all the guns and gear I've been gathering over these last few years and storing in the basement. I can't complain. She's a keeper. 

(But I don't golf near as much as I used to, so there's something for her to be thankful for )

As a grown man, it's important to stay in your frame from day one.  Men are masculine and women are feminine.  Masculine = Leadership, organization, decision making, etc.  If you find yourself in a relationship where your woman tells you what to do, uses her mood or emotions to control you, or does other dumb shit like drive while you ride shotgun, etc, then you are the woman and she is the man in the relationship.  The most important thing a man can do is learn that he is the prize and he is the valuable one.  Take care of your mind, your body and your finances.  A good woman will seek you out.   For entirely too long men were twisted into believing they were inferior and somehow had to worship or put women on a pedestal. Constantly chasing women, trying to win them over, trying to make them happy,  etc.  All of it is bullshit.  Quite simply, if you put a woman on a pedestal,  she'll look down at you.  

Once you put this into practice and  a woman learns that she is the one who needs you and that you aren't afraid to walk away from her, everything changes and is far better for everyone involved
