Has anybody gotten divorced because of the inability to go fishing? I sometimes get out once a week but most often once every two to three weeks. Was it worth it ( to get divorced)? Can not see being able to get out more for another ten years. Would take a HUGE hit financially though. What are your thoughts?
-
Why, does your wife actually have you chained to the house? If you can't get out fishing cause SHE says so, you've married the wrong woman. And there are lots of those types out there. Controlling little weasles. Just give them the Credit card to go shoe shopping and when they have their back turned, high tail it to the local flow. Or fake your own death. ;D

Thinking of getting a divorce so you can go fishing ? Wow !
-
wow. either your wife really sucks or you really like to fish
-
Ouch, should have married a woman who actually enjoys fishing :)
I don't think divorcing her is not really the first option I'd think of if I wasn't getting enough days on the water, I'd probably start with letting my wife know how much fishing really means to my life and maybe work out some options so you can both enjoy the days (ie, pack up a picknick and take her out, you fish, she sunbathes) and you both enjoy each others company.
Of course if theres no communication to start there might be a bit of a problem.

There's more fish in the sea. I have left or been left by women who thought that making babies was more important than fishing. A sense of conviction to what you really believe is more important than a romp in the sack. But then I don't have any offspring, so I'm like alot of the runs of salmon out there. :-\

The quality of your life depends on the questions you are ready to ask yourself. Do you want complete happiness in your life and are you willing to do what it takes to achieve this. You marry someone to feel whole inside not when she says it's OK. If fishing is what makes you happy and whole, then it should be accepted. No questions asked. In fact it should be supported because it's a big part of who you are. You see my friend you create, promote and allow things in your life. You have control of this and this only. If you don't go fishing because she says no, then you have to look at yourself because you've allowed this type of behavior in your life.
Be committed, to do what it takes, to have what you want in your life. What do you want?........ and what is it going to take?
If better is possible, is good good enough? and remember successful people do what others don't.
I think that what you've asked here may be only a slice of the unhappy cake you've been eating for awhile and fishing only part of it.Maybe I'm wrong, if then I apologize on this point You've got to do what is right for you. Take care of yourself so you can take care of others...........................That's the way it should be for the rest of your life.

I don't believe in divorce for a matter as trivial as that... If she beat you or cheat on you, that would be grounds...
Why not quit your job, so you have more time to fish? She'll be gone in no time ;)

That comment that says "what are your thoughts" is an invitation for an opinion...
And if you're referring to me as materialistic, you couldn't be more wrong.

gee....I always mentioned my need to fish amongst other vices at first meeting....is simple...I go fishin' with you...without you...with you at home..or with you gone on to a better pairing...let 'em know up front about these things....saves on hassles later on in the relationship....as for nookie or fishin'...give the gal your best 30 seconds...then hit the flow.... :D :D :D
mojo no time for folks who impede my fishin' time... ;)

If you are a guy with a full time job, a wife and kids, and you fish an average of one day every 2 weeks, then I'd say you're not doing worse than most of the married Dads who love to fish that I know.
If you find a way to increase your fishing days, without giving up your family or your job, then please let me know... ;D

sounds like she needs to go for a "Boat Ride" ;)
Ocean is a crazy place and accidents happen :o

family must come first

Some could say the same about the fish though. How much for a "charter" canso?
-
Well my Wife hates fishing but has no problems with me fishing twice a week ;D
-
This is an easy situation to oversimplify about.Let me put in my two cents.When my kids were little my wife and I both volunteered up to 30 hours a week with their stuff.Soccer ,gymnastics,baseball etc.I love to fish slightly less than to breathe so this caused conflicts.My advice,compromise as much as you can.Sneak away if it doesn't hurt anything.Above all be patient and communicate.If you truly love one another you will find ways.If not make sure you get all the fishing gear before the final papers arrive! :)
-
Britguy! You're the winner if that's so......................Actually so am I, I go fishing sometimes more than twice a week.As long as my household resposibilities are being met then she has no say in the matter except "have a good day honey!" Of course if it wasn't this way for me she'd be gone!

:-\ This has got to be the weirdest thread I've ever read.... ???
-
It shouldn't matter what it is, Mine started with Mt. Biking, road, hockey (again) hunting, hockey, golf and now fishing...She just says it's the flavor of the middle aged...We both cut each other enough space to do what we want when we need too..If you don't have that in your life then it's not a very healthy place to be...But some guys like being whipped..I know a few!!!
-
It's all about compromising.....for example, when my wife and I got married she wanted a cat. I hate cats so we compromised ....and got a cat. Get the point?
It's like the tree in the forrest thing and whether it makes a sound if no one is around to hear it but in these terms: If a man is in a forrest and he says something and no women are around to hear him ....is he still wrong?
-
Never heard of the good old art of communication?
How about talking it over with your wife and telling her how you feel?
If she loves you and wants to keep you, she will certainly cut you some slack and let you head out more often. Perhaps in exchange of some perks for her - they are good at negotiating.
If not, your marriage is doomed anyway.
-
Is a dream a lie if it don't come true or is it something worse?
-
Create a situation for yourself that's a WIN/Win for both of you and communicaion is the key. If better is possible then is good good enough?
