long island basser Posted January 31, 2016 Posted January 31, 2016 I don't hear any of that...that's why I'm still married, 25 years and counting. 4 Quote

Super User DogBone_384 Posted January 31, 2016 Super User Posted January 31, 2016 I'm in the same ball park as Long Island Basser (though Fenway and not Yankee Stadium). My wife and I both work and have our own hobbies, so as long as I cover the mortgage, bills, and savings, I'm pretty well free to play. 1 Quote

Super User Sam Posted January 31, 2016 Super User Posted January 31, 2016 I know you have not heard those responses from your wife and are just giving us some samples. Only one I have heard, and I have been married since the world was water and son is 40-years old, is "How many fishing poles does a guy need?" But since I don' drink, hang out in bars, go dancing with other women, am completely trustworthy and support her quilting habit, I get to go fishing when ever I want. She and I are heading to Lake Gaston and Buggs Island later this year. She will stay in the room and quilt while I fish and go on the boat if she wants to go for a ride or just read a book as I fish. But there are a lot of insecure and immature women out there that would ask some of the questions you proposed. They want their men all to themselves and fishing can be a nasty habit and mistress. 7 Quote
Super User slonezp Posted January 31, 2016 Super User Posted January 31, 2016 The women in my family tell us to go fishing to get us the hell out of the house. I don't know how many times my mother has called me ranting "Pick up your father and take him fishing" My ol' lady knows I won't be getting into trouble out on the lake. Like Sam said, better I'm fishing than boozing it up with other broads. 11 Quote
Worm Man 2020 Posted January 31, 2016 Author Posted January 31, 2016 Sam, you nailed it ! How many fishing poles, does a one legged man need? I have 8. My answer is always, let's go up in closet, and count your shoes... Fishing poles are like shoes, need different ones, for different occasions. My wife tells me, when she finds out about a fishing seminar somewhere, or what sales paper, from BPS has in it, that I should look at. I, too have been married 37 years... I'm blessed and grateful for her & never let her forget it, either ! My first born is 34. and have 5 more. I do forget their ages, because,they keep changing, lol Tight lines, 1 Quote

BassResource.com Administrator Glenn Posted February 1, 2016 BassResource.com Administrator Posted February 1, 2016 My wife likes fishing just as much as me, if not more! She also crushes it with her fantasy football teams, is a huge NASCAR fan, and is a gourmet chef! Right now, she's pestering me to go to Cabela's with her. 7 Quote
Super User Darren. Posted February 1, 2016 Super User Posted February 1, 2016 Just now, Glenn said: My wife likes fishing just as much as me, if not more! She also crushes it with her fantasy football teams, is a huge NASCAR fan, and is a gourmet chef! Right now, she's pestering me to go to Cabela's with her. Wow, Glenn. You're lucky. If I convince my wife to got to Bass Pro, it actually means she waits in the truck while I go into BPS... She just doesn't do the fishing stores.... 1 Quote

smallie.mike Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 My wife likes fishing just as much as I do, but only because it gets me out the house and she can do her thing. Lol. A bottle of wine helps too... 1 Quote
Super User Bankbeater Posted February 1, 2016 Super User Posted February 1, 2016 I have been married for 27 years and not once has my wonderful wife ever said anything about my fishing trips or purchases. I just wish she enjoyed fishing as much as I do. 1 Quote
Super User buzzed bait Posted February 1, 2016 Super User Posted February 1, 2016 i agree on take her with you.... she'll either love it or leave you to it! mine left me to it! 1 Quote
Bass Turd Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 This is very easy. Get the hourly rate of your nearest psychotherapist. Multiply by the number of hours you fish or touch fishing equipment a week or month. Hand her the bill and say "This is how much it would cost us for me to STOP fishing." You might even be able to spend more... 2 Quote
Super User bigbill Posted February 1, 2016 Super User Posted February 1, 2016 After being married for 41 years I never gave it back to the misses when she was proven wrong till last week. I frazzled her till she admitted she was wrong. Did it make me feel good? No it didn't. Should I have bet a steak dinner on the out come? Maybe. It brings up a point after winning the debate I'm better to have let it go. Debate. We just remodeled the bathroom. I put up two gold framed Victorian pictures on both sides of the mirror. On one side one picture is tight. But they look great. She said they don't look good. So four family members opinions agreed with me. I spent mucho money decorating the bathroom. Searching ebay for Victorian pictures and brass wall ornaments even from England. After nine months of headaches with the contractor I hired my son who helped me finish the tile. I had to fire the contractor that came recommended on the list we see advertised on tv. If I wasn't disabled and still recovering I could of done the bathroom myself in a week. My son did all the work while I sat and watched. 1 Quote
