Wife Ruining Fishing

[SirSnookalot]

I fish very early in the morning so the chance of my wife calling is slim, she's sleeping, during the day she would not call unless it was very important.

In the days when I played golf, every Sunday morning this guy I played with was constantly being plagued by his wife's phone calls. She would call as early as on the second tee, " when ya coming home?", we teed off at 7 to 7:30 am too. He got so ticked one day he just flung his phone into a nearby pond while she was still talking, HA HA. By professional he was psychiatrist, but on his 4 th marriage, I don't think either one of them were wrapped real tight.

My wife will only bug me while fishing if we made plans later in the day and I start to run late.

She was a little peeved with me when I bought the boat though. We were six months from paying off her school loan and she thought we should pay it first. But my boat had a $750 customer rebate that I couldnt pass up so I bought the boat before the loan was paid.

She did tell me that I will never get another present for any holiday and the boat will be my present till I die. LOL I told her I didnt care.

All joking aside clayton, I feel for you.

Maybe next outing, you can have something ready and waiting to be microwaved or sitting in the oven warming.

My wife is the exact opposite, I have come home and found notes that dinner was in the oven and to hurry up and meet her at the lake. I have had the sweetest little voice whispering in my ear at 5am that the fish are biting and it's time to go fishing. Heck, my wife even asks me to blow-off work so we can fish.

My biggest problem is that she doesn't give me a chance to catch the big fish, she lands them all for herself.

[Boogey Man]

I guess I'm lucky. My wife doesn't hassle me about fishing. Saturday is our day to do things together, go out and eat, watch a movie or something. Sunday mornings I go fishing. She usually fixes me breakfast or packs my lunch. If she calls, I know it's and emergency. If I go during the week I usually try to plan it on an evening when she's doing something of her own. It works out good for both of us.

[clayton86]

See I should also mention she is bipolar one day she's a angel couldent be happier she will let me fish all day and not a peep tell me to stay out late. Other days some times the same day its like a light switch and she will forget everything I did to go fishing I just up and disapeared leaving her.

[ww2farmer]

Clayton, really??? C'mon, you are sounding like a total tool, and an ignorant delta bravo. All of our wives have and probably will "bug" us at one time or another wile we are fishing. SO WHAT?!?! Look at it from her point of veiw, your out having fun, doing what you want to do, while she's at home taking care of kids, etc.... But coming on here and telling us your wifes bi-polar and all this other nonsense, good god, you better hope she dosen't she this, what if she went on a message board and called you out, saying all you ever want to do is go fishing/hunting and leave me at home with the kids. There are two side to every story. I am chalking up most of what you say as just being young and stupid............you'll grow up, the other part???.......Time will tell.

[boystcroix]

Tis' the reason why I don't own a cell phone....

Seriously...I really don't....

same here, I can remember when you didn't need to be in touch at all times

Go fishing at the ***-crack of dawn and be back before she wakes up.

[Blue Streak]

I never have a phone turned on when I am fishing, I don't care what the rest of the world is doing when I am on the water.

[Red]

I guess I lucked out in the wife department! She rarely calls me while I am on the water, if she does, usually it is important, even if it isn't important, I don't mind the call as long as it isn't every 5 minutes. Sometimes I go fishing in the morning then again the same evening. Guess I am a lucky guy!

I sure would not bash my wife on a public forum....dude thats just wrong.

Sounds like both of you could benefit from some marriage counseling and maybe a cooking class

[Grey Wolf]

Man why in the hell would you let the whole fricking world know your personal family life and making your wife look like she's a selfish crying idiot. You're got a lot to learn about being a man. Grow up.

amen !

[.ghoti.]

Clayton, I once had a wife like that.

I have a much, much better one now.

Show your wife this post.

[Big-O]

Everything will be OK Clayton, and small challenges in relationship are common place for everyone. Sounds like airing the situation here, got a little brisk as well but I promise all these folks are your BUDS.

IMO, there's a good way for any one to set the record straight when things seem to get sideways in a relationship... Tell it like it is in one sentence or less using as few words as possible, then be on with it! Elaborate discussion and trying to apply too much reasoning often dilutes the truth. Time will prove the need and the reasoning with much more clarity than our words can.

This has worked for MANY - for MANY years and I'm sure it will continue in the future as well Now go fishing and have FUN!

My wife seldomly calls me while I´m fishing, besides, normally where I´m at there´s no signal so she can call all she wants and there´s no way she can reach me.

[Nashua Nev]

Pretty simple. Talk with her and try to work it out. communication is the key. get her feelings combine them with yours and figure it out. its forever a give and take , but you both need to be happy

I like this idea too. , comminication!!!!!

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.

and this too... Sounds like both of you could benefit from some marriage counseling and maybe a cooking class communication !!!!

[Diggy]

Ill bite my tongue, but that's just selfishness.

if you can't have it like this, there's no point in marrying the person.

[CWB]

Shouldn't this be in the Dr. Phil section?

Solution is simple:

DON'T ANSWER THE PHONE!

Or don't take it with or drop it in the river...........

My phone never comes with me. I don't want to get it wet and ruin it. Or have to answer it either.

Seriously, my wife is great when it comes to this. She knows when and where I'm going and when I plan on returning. No calls necessary. I do call her to let her know I'm on the way home though.

[Midnight Splash2]

I don't own a tracking device and I will d**n sure never pay for one. All though my old lady doesn't give me crap about going fishing all the time. She knows its what I love to do and accepts it. Its just the tackle binges that I sometimes go on that gets her upset.

[Ratherbfishing]

So, why do you answer the phone? If there's an emergency, that's what 911 is for.

I don't know what percentage of your free time is spent on yourself and what percentage is spent on your spouse and family. But everyone needs time to themselves. ASSUMING you are an attentive and responsible husband and dad, she needs to chill out. You can't make her chill out but you can assert some boundaries. Oh, and make sure she takes her meds.

[Tim Jones_31414]

Its just the tackle binges that I sometimes go on that gets her upset.

This is when you Bass Pro Shops deliver to your work.

[Midnight Splash2]

All of my online orders are delivered to work. She is home before me so she sees me bring it inside. I don't try to hide anything.
