my wife remembers when I used to live at the bar. when she's mad about something she might say I go hunting every day but normally she doesn't say any thing. I tell her it's how I get my exercise and it's only fait to the dogs.

I tell her honey if I set in here tonight unhappy about not going hunting pretty soon we both gonna be unhappy so it's best for the both of us if I go.

My wife is great. She rarely ever says anything. If she does I graciously obey her.

I always use weather as an excuse. She might complain Im going 3 nights in a row and I say well its supposed to rain the next few days lol.

She wanted a date nite last week and I asked her what night? She told me friday and I picked up my phone and she knew exactly what I was doing and that was checking the weather. She said I dont care how good the weather is thats the night we are going. I was more than willing to agree to it because she puts up with me going hunting quite a bit.

I have a little different situation. My wife loves hounds, to the point she will say that the kennels are not nice enough, clean enough or even big enough ( 2@10X20 and 3@8X14 with roof system and concrete) and then she says all the time let's take the dogs out so they can run. Below is a picture of date night with our beagles. She stays at the truck coon hunting. But loves dogs. So when I want another hound I just bring a puppy home and let her and my 7 year old name him. My wife is awesome.

I never had the problem. A huntin' buddy of mine told me this story: "He and his wife ran into my wife at the grocery store, he asked my wife, "Is Tom huntin' a lot? She replied, "No, he was home one night this week." I hunt a lot, but I never in all these years tell my wife I'm going huntin'; I always say something like "If you don't care, I thought I'd hunt a little bit." That gives her the option. If I sold a dog, I gave her half the money, if I sold fur, I gave her the check. Your wife has hobbies and things she likes to do, and they all probably require funding; if you make it a partnership with a pleasant end result you'll have fewer problems.

The best thing I told my wife when we had a baby is I'm going hunting when I want and I try to be home by midnight after that I'll get up with the baby. Luck for me he slept all night after about 6 weeks
