My wife doesn't understand me...

[silentpaddler]

Years ago my Dad and I were moose hunting in northern Ontario. We were sitting quietly one afternoon, not a sound to be heard, not another person around for miles...
then this lone raven flies over and lets out a long CRAWWWWK...without missing a beat, the old man just said wearily '' Yes, Dear.''

 

[Robbi]

spot on Filcon, way to go mate !!

 

[Rabbitsmacker]

we have a deal, i don't question all the new tops that appear, the new make up, the shoes etc, but i make sure i notice how lovely they all look or how much they suit her, and in return she tolerates the conservatory stuffed full of bergens, smocks, pouches, etc etc. we met at art college so freedom of expression is not a problem here! so eccentricity is encouraged! as long as we continue to tick all the right boxes with each other, our strange habits and hobbies only enrich our lives!.....

having said that, we do nag each other about the amount of s**t we both accumulate! lmao!

Oh man, that's the funniest thing I've heard in ages. Priceless!
And how cool to go moose hunting with your dad. Lucky, lucky so-and-so.

LOL ! if i called my wife "sweaty", i'd get a thick ear !!

I get away with calling my wife 'the runt'... only because she's too short to reach my ears

My wife is a South African Psychologist!! So she knew I was mad before we got married before we got married... in fact she did talk about certifying me Lol

Her reaction two nights ago when I showed her my new across Scotland Canoe Route (Skye Bridge - Inverness) was one thing, then when I told her I was starting on the 4th January, I think that just sealed the deal. Am going to avoid her work for a while, in case she gets one of her colleagues to medicate me!!

Don't worry Mary, its not what he says to you that matters, just what he says about you when you aren't there

 

[Toddy]

Ah, no. I grew up in houses with gardens and workshops and loads of books and stuff around.

I look at some of those immaculate showhome photos and think, "Where's all their stuff ?? "
Very sleek, modern, tidy, easy kept, but I can't live that way.

Just different folks

What about boxes that can be used as furniture ? Like wooden chests with padded upholstered lids ? Oak kists make good storage, seating, and they flit easily enough in the moving trucks

cheers,

[lannyman8]

the thing is the house is never big enough to put anything in other than what we have, my mil kit takes up LOADS or room what with my 12 odd pairs of boots for a start, then the dpm 95 issue oh and dont forget the Afghanistan issue oh and then of course there are the siuts, mess dress and £300 tux i just had to splash out for and that was for 1 bloody night..........

sorry rant over......lol.....

it does have good points though, the rent is minimal and i can get great tarps when i want, oh and great boots for nout........lol.......

My Wife DOES understand me ...but that sigh she does when I start whittlin another spoon while sat in front of the TV in the living room....un-nerving I tel you ... almost enough to make me pack the knife away!


Almost!

Ah, his Mother did a good job training him
I never met my mother in law, but I think I would have liked her

cheers,

My wife understands me perfectly, she tells me regularly by sighing loudly and saying "geek"...
my wife is nothing but tolerant, but then she knew about my GW obsession before we got married and even tried to paint some items which some girlfriends do and you know you have to correct them because lets face it there are NO goblins running around with pink robes with yellow trim...

then later she wore the same expression when i was collecting airsoft kit and more jackets/combats/webbing then an entire battalion of infantry.
now i do bushcraft, volunteer and attend outdoor training courses, she's even up for coming out walking with me and i've managed to keep her in reasonable comfort whilst at a festival (camping).
when a new jacket or crafty item arrives her response is usually "not another (insert item here)" and my response is generally "What were those shoes/makeup/top/jeans/jacket you bought the other day?"
so yeah she understands me, but i like to rub it in

SWMBO "you can go off people you know"
me: "you can go off me but you'll never get rid of me"

SWMBO "Why did i marry you again"
Me: "Didn't i trick you into it and you didn't realise until it was too late "

etc etc
13 years together in jan, 9 years married in feb

Thank god Im single - and if I want to bring the motorbike into the living room - I CAN

I do. I even had the hallway floor tiled so I wouldn't ruin the carpet

It can be a battle of wills, for sure. My dearest, Roberta, made a principled point of having the words "obey" removed from the traditional catechism of our marriage vows. So that has went a long way in keeping harmony in our relationship. She grew up in a hunting, country home and has always supported our outdoor pursuits. She camps, backpacked (my foot deformity no longer allows me to backpack) canoes, kayaks, fishes, shoots archery and firearms with me. I guess you could say I am lucky. But, be careful what you ask for, you just might get it! About two years ago I got Roberta into shooting defensive pistol matches with me. She was timid at first but has now become a woman on a shooting sports mission. I did, at one time, get the proverbial "how many firearms do you need?" Now when the shooting magazines come in the mail we have to decide who was the last to read it, gets it first. Now, when at the favorite gunshop, I get the questions from her, "got enough power pistol powder?", " how about primers?" Honest to goodness, the other day we were talking firearms and lo and behold what came out of her mouth, "you can't have enough firearms"!!!!

On the 28th of this month we will celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary.
