I think she will even enjoy it with me, once our kids get older and there not so mother dependent.

And i wish i was jokin about the buck i killed. I stopped and showed it off anyway of course, didnt go over to well at home tho. she called my buddies wife to see if i had stopped. and i told her heck yeah i did. but caught alot of flak over it.

so its not like im totally sackless here. but i do know one thing for sure, there is absolutely no way, under any circumstance, that i could wake up every day and not see my children. could not live with it.

so until there raised and gone i will do what i gotta do.
The wife and I actually have a good relationship. we get along great as long as she gets to see me every day and spend time with me. and im not gone all the time hunting and fishing.


but yeah lets get back to the brookwood buck.
would like to know the real story myself




Serious question for you IHP. What if one day you were to start traveling for work? How would that effect your relationship? I left Monday morning on business and am still out of town. I fly back in the morning and my buddies are picking me up to go hog hunting with Elkhunter for the weekend. I have a fantastic wife because she is understanding and we are respectful to each other. If she got mad if we didn't see one another every day then I would have been divorced 10 years ago

I think what everyone here is trying to tell you is the current makeup of your marriage is not conducive to long term relationships. One day soon you will get tired of being controlled and it will have a huge impact on your kids. Make damn sure you fix the issues now or they will be affected in the future. This is not a assumption, but a fact.

Go see a marriage councilor, preacher, etc. You will thank 5 years down the road.
