Super User clayton86 Posted September 4, 2011 Super User Posted September 4, 2011 Well there's a thread about wives fishing with us and having fun so I'm starting one about them completly ruining it for us because that's been my wife lately. So who here's wife bugs the crap out of them well fishing wether it be with u or just blowing your phone up while u fish. My wife for the 2nd outing in 2 weeks has blown my phone up while fishing taking all the fun out and demanding I come home because she's. Either bored, hungry, or our 2year olds being bad. Today she called me while I waded 2 miles down stream smallie and pike fishing wanting me home cuz she was hungry and didn't feel like getting her self anything. So after a 10min arguement standing waist deep in the river I started back home and as always that's when the fish started biting I went 3 for 3 soon as I got off the phone working back. Makes me wanna pull my hair out if I had any any one elses wives like this. Quote
papercuts Posted September 4, 2011 Posted September 4, 2011 Mines fussing cuz all I think about is fishing. Srry. I just got a boat and quit buying parts for my car and I can't risk injury from skateboarding due to work. So fishing it is. It has alwAys Ben part of my life and just became a bigger part. She likes to go but I like to go with a buddy at least once a week. Quote
The Guy Posted September 4, 2011 Posted September 4, 2011 Nope when she calls it is only once and she keeps it brief unless there is an emergency, but we don't have any kids either. Quote
Super User clayton86 Posted September 4, 2011 Author Super User Posted September 4, 2011 Iv been fishing sense I was 1 and I'm 24 we've been married 3 years next month so she knew what she was getting into when she married me plus when we dated id be late for dinner and she would come find me by my secret spot I showed her. If it wasn't for the kids I would leave the phone in my car. Quote
Super User Bassn Blvd Posted September 4, 2011 Super User Posted September 4, 2011 Sounds to me the wife is looking for some ATTENTION. 2 Quote
shootermcbob Posted September 4, 2011 Posted September 4, 2011 Maybe she likes you and wants to spend time with you??? Of course, that may change if she ever reads how you portray her on a public forum. 3 Quote
Super User clayton86 Posted September 4, 2011 Author Super User Posted September 4, 2011 She gets tons of attention and she knows what I put on here she gos on as well and sees it in the history she gets foot rubs and back massages daily I cook her breakfast every morning I don't work she will be the first to tell u I'm the best husband in the world and brags to her co workers I clean and do everything but she's become to dependant of me and wheb I go fishing she's lost and can't function.

Super User Gatorbassman Posted September 4, 2011 Super User Posted September 4, 2011 Here's what I do. While you are with her do things so she knows she is the most important thing in your life. Then when it's time to go fishing she may be happy to let you go. If you ignore her as much while you are at home as you do when you are on the water then your time on the water will be a struggle. Be a father and a husband first and see what the results are. I schedule each week with my wife. The schedule often changes. Usually not in my favor, but how I react to the changes determines the outcome of the fishing trips I can go on. Fishing is not as important as me being at home and I make sure she knows it. Quote
endless Posted September 4, 2011 Posted September 4, 2011 Mine has and will blow up my phone so I make sure my bluetooth is charge and on. I don't mind talking to her but need both hands. I hate when it she blows my phone up nut when she doesn't I wonder why she has not called me yet? My wife does get bored or she just like to here if I caught anything yet or how many since our last conversation and If I'm having fun. You know what is worst? Is when me and my brother are out fishing together both wives blows up the phone. Brother don't have one. My wife does love it when I'm sending picture mail of my catches or surroundings. You might just have to go with a bluetooth ear piece if not have one yet. The Jabra BT2080 for $29 at bestbuy works great. I have no prob with mine if wont to go cheaper call around different Game Stops and ask for used bluetooth sets for PS3. Might find a nice one for $20. Quote
Super User Lund Explorer Posted September 4, 2011 Super User Posted September 4, 2011 I can see it now, Clayton is sitting on some mountain top in the middle of BFE Afghanistan in a few months when his phone rings. "I'm hungry....... Come home and make me a grilled cheese sandwich!" My suggestion is to get her used to it now. Go fishing in the morning. 1st cast is with the phone into the middle of the river. After that, toss anything you want in peace and quiet. If that doesn't work, sit outside the bathroom door anytime she goes inside, and ask her endless questions. You have a two year old so you have the perfect example of what to ask. The moral of the story is that no relationship is going to last if you are required to share certain life sustaining organs with your spouse. You might as well teach her to be somewhat self sufficient now, or get yourself fitted for a shock collar. 1 Quote
Super User clayton86 Posted September 4, 2011 Author Super User Posted September 4, 2011 I do put her and the boys first I'm out with noah right now catching a school of 8inch bass she gets plenty of time I only fish once maybe maybe twice a week to last years every day. The rest of the week is full of her time doing what she likes to do together shoping,riding the horses, watching food network all friggen night. And I don't complain all week till my 1 day gets spoiled and all the sorrys don't make it better when I get home and she tells me to just go back out after getting her food or what ever she needed Quote
Super User clayton86 Posted September 4, 2011 Author Super User Posted September 4, 2011 lund that's whazt her parents always ask her her moms exact words are this I swear "god alexis what the hell u gonna do while he's deployed grow up and let the man fish". Her answer is always " idk move back in with you guys(her parents)" her dad fliped on her last hunting season on a push I was in my stand and across the woods I hear him" alexis he's in his tree stand leave him alone and stop calling me to get to him were hunting" don't get me wrong I love my wife but she needs friends or something to occupy her but she stabed them all in the back a while ago and they won't talk to her anymore.

Super User grimlin Posted September 5, 2011 Super User Posted September 5, 2011 Tis' the reason why I don't own a cell phone.... Seriously...I really don't.... Quote
Super User Bassn Blvd Posted September 5, 2011 Super User Posted September 5, 2011 Well, do what I do then. My phone rings while I'm on the lake. Me: Hello, my love. Wife: Hey, babe. Whach'a doin. Me: Babe, are my rods in the rod rack? Is my boat in the garage? NO? Then I'm fishing. What in the heck do you think I'm doing. Are you hurt? Is the baby hurt. Did the house catch on fire? NO, then why are you calling me? Wife: When will you be home? Me: When the fish stop biting or after dark. Wife: Ok, I love you. Me: Love you too, babe. Bye. Hang up. OR Me: Hello, Love. What up? Wife: Nothing. I just calling to say hi. Me: Babe, did you get my phone call while you were at the gym or getting your nails done? No? That's because I didn't call you to ask you silly things. I'm fishing. I love you, bye. Wife: Ok, I'm sorry. I'll have your dinner ready for you whenever you get home. Have fun. 1 Quote
Super User South FLA Posted September 5, 2011 Super User Posted September 5, 2011 I have a wife and a 2 1/2 year old son also and understand your paradigm. So when I fish I usually hire a babysitter to watch the kid to give the wife free time too. Also, so do nice dinners the night before or the night after a fishing trip. Lastly and most importantly is to tell her in advance so as not to catch her by surprise. 1 Quote
BassinMidWest Posted September 5, 2011 Posted September 5, 2011 Wow! lol no offence man, but that's kinda pathetic. Wanting you to come home when she's hungry? lmao. I like all the suggestions folks have given though. Quote

I do say a lot of that but she doesn't say the same stuff ur wife says other then the "when will u be back" line and I say the same u do and she alsways asks what time that is I tell her when the sun goes down.

It was her idea for me to go today sense I cleaned the whole d**n house Friday and noah our 2 year old was with my mom so she was alone with jack our youngesthes 1 month old Thursday so all he does is sleep. We went out to eat yesterday as well and ordered out today twice once on my way back and once just now for dinner. Tomorrow is the picnic with her parents and taking noah to the muck to set up my tree stand to give her yet another break from the terrors of a 2 year old who only cares about fish and bucks lol.

BassThumb Posted September 5, 2011 Posted September 5, 2011 You should make it clear to her how upset you are about this, and that you need some time for yourself once in a while. Just be honest about it. Quote
Super User slonezp Posted September 5, 2011 Super User Posted September 5, 2011 clayton, Get back in the kitchen where you belong. Seriously. You guys are young. She's probably stressed with the kids or whatever. Handle you business at home during the week. On the weekend tell her to pick a day. The other day is yours. When I hear "You go fishing every weekend." My answer is "Yes I do." I get one maybe two calls out on the water. "Hows the fishing?" and "When are you going to be home?" It took time but she knows being on the water is my serinity and not to bother me. Good luck. Quote

Just be honest about it. I am she knows I'm mad because I get nasty and sarcastic about everything afterwards till I get home and then I stop because I don't want to fight so I put a smile on show her the fish I caught when walking back. She told me to go out tomorrow or later in the week if I wanted because she feels bad making me come all the way back to bring her chicken fingers. Quote

No I told her this crap might fly now but after I get back from deployment and I have my boat the craps gotta stop I'm not gonna bring the boat in cuz she's hungry or what ever. The kids will be older to noah will be 4 by then jack will be 1 1/2 so it might be easier plus she will have a whole year to get used to me being gone. I'm getting back in december which here in ny there's not much fishing then and huntings over so I will have maybe 4 months to spend qt with her and the kids befor I take the weekends back. 1 Quote
Super User NorcalBassin Posted September 5, 2011 Super User Posted September 5, 2011 She's probably wanting to spend all the time she can with you now before you take off. No cell coverage on the lakes I usually fish, so maybe I'm just lucky??? Quote

Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted September 5, 2011 Global Moderator Posted September 5, 2011 Mine usually calls me once or twice while I'm fishing, usually without much to say. Then when I get home and she doesn't want to hear about my day fishing and I already know everything that happened during her day so we don't have much to talk about and that makes her upset. I swear that women just can't stand for their husbands/boyfriends to have fun without them. It sounds like my wife is pretty similar to your's Clayton86. She get's bored very easily and just doesn't get along with other girls because she thinks they're all out to get her. My saving grace is that I have different days off than her, so while I'm on the lake, she's at work. Her only one request is that I be home when she gets off work, which is usually not a problem.
