My wife came to me about 2 months ago. She says Tim you work so much , and on your days off, oyur out shooting at stumps.Thats stupid she says... Than she says, I want us to spend more time together.......A feeling of fear rushes over me like cold gatoraid at the superbowl..
so I do what any good Son, oops- I mean Husband would do. Go with me I Say so long story short we make a weekend of kalamazoo.
Hey, she says waving me over to the black widow booth, pointing at the tabs and says I thought you only paid 2.50 for yours?!?! Now revertback to the gatoraid feeling. "It must have been on sale ,HONEY.
than she noticed the arrows- how did you getyours so cheap? -GATORAID- by the end of the day she was really mad. When I thought the day was over. she makes a B line over to the DAS booth. she talks to John then gives me a very stern look. $500 bucks Huh?
it was a very long ride back to cincinnati.....
I think I'm going :knothead: to work MORE!
-
ROTFLOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Good luck man...
-
What did you learn? LOL
-
Man that's a great story, LOL, :biglaugh:
By the way, I have a bow for sale in the ad's here. If you buy it, I promise to send a receipt for half the selling price.
-
I bet he learned to not get caught or bring the girlfriend next time! :bigsmyl: Shawn
-
she about crapped when she found out how much a new DAS master is........
Like I told her I could be spending it atthe strip clubs like some guys.....
That did not help.. her answer was "ARE YOU SAYING YOU WANT TO GO TO THE STRIP CLUBS WITH YOUR FRIENDS"" OMG its a lose lose situation... Than I said just forget it MOM!!!
Wow I have never actually seen horns come out of a womans head before " my dad warned me of this- --don't make eye contact and run" but I couldn't go any where I was still in the car.
I thought I was dead, than to make it worse she called her mom and my mom they want to have a meeting. Iaskedmy dad for moral support but he said I'm on my own...Thanks dad.
-
DANG!!! i feel for you. what a bummer.... i don't think i will be taking my better half to any gatherings that's for sure. hey just a thought, go take a peek at her wardrobe. see how many articles of clothing you have compared to hers and don't forget the pocket books and shoes. you might be able to tally her up to be more than your bowhunting stuff.
-
I never had that problem with my ex wife. She'd ask about all my nessary hunting equipment and how much I paid for it. Then I would tell her I'd confess all me spending ammounts if she could tell me how many pairs of shoes she owns and the ammount of MY money she spend buying them. To make a long story short she never asked me another question about how much I spent on hunting equipment. LOL
-
Your in my prayers. :thumbsup:
-
By the way, who the heck is John at the DAS booth?
-
Yep,
My policy has been give 'em the whole truth every time. It might hurt in the beginning but they get over it in a couple of days. When I waited the Guillotine just got heavier and sharper.. :scared:
-
Your wife have new meaning for "DAS"
" Dead At Sight"
Your next purchase should be an oxygen tank and a defibrillator !
Just in case you know !

I'm with Firstarrow all the way on this one.
Up front and full disclosure is the only way to go. I'll go one better though. Buy her a bow and get her shooting. Before ya know it the purchase of arrows,additional bows and accessories will be a mutual agreement. But for now if ya need more than one extra blanket for the dog house I'll make the second donation. :biglaugh:
-
I'm using all the blankets myself, but I can spare a flannel shirt.... :bigsmyl:
-
I know a guy that says to ask forgiveness is easlier than permission. Think I know two now, (and as Ron says I had the right to remain silent, I just didn't have the ability.) Sorry no blankets I'm sharing them with her.
Brent
Oh yeah
-
Great story. Use this for emergency only. Take ALL 30 pairs of black shoes out of her closet and line them up for her. How many pairs of the same shoes do you need Honey?

you could always tell her that you bought the bow because it reminded you of her. the curvy lines, beautiful shape, color and how it feels in your arms. it makes you think of her all the while you are hunting and how much you can't wait to get home to her after a long day in the field.
-
Paleface, I'm a stout fella but not that stout.
-
coyote Tim...you must be surviving or you have a computer in the doghouse....good luck with the whole thing, we're pullin' for ya!
Paleface - how many other "excuses" do you have waiting in the wings? Sounds like a man that has been there. But I'm not believing your woman fell for that last one.....
-
Don't walk into the light.

:archer: :goldtooth:

I suggest a romantic three day weekend and lots of flowers and chocolate

you are lost.
the only thing that might help is to blame somebody else.
maybe you try it this way.
you:honey?
she:........
you:honey,can we talk about these archerythingy?
she:ok,what do you want?
you:i know i have a problem and i was looking for help.i went ot the doc a few weeks befor and he send me to psychologist who should work with me to solve my problems.
she:........are you kidding?
you:no way,the psychologist was from harvard,a real good doc.i have spoe to him a few times and somehow he really helped me.
she: he helped you?in which way did he help you?
you:well.....somehow...we...i mean he......
must i say this?
she:yes.
you:there is nothing wrong with trad archery he told me.
she: what?
you:he was very kind with me and told me his secret.
she:what kind of secret?
you:go for a DAS bow,one of the best bows for the money you can get.thats why i have this bow.
it was the docs fault.
she:....... :mad:
.blaming the doc didnt turn out to be a good idea.
what about your dad?
since you are on your own with this problem,blame him.
maybe like this.
a few weeks later......
you:honey?
she:what?
can we talk about this archerythingy again please?
she:but no BS this time.
you:ok i want to tell you the truth.
she:omg,you have bin to the stripclub.
you:no no,thats not what i want to say.
its about dad.
she:dad?
you:yes it is his fault that i have this bows.
she:so he forced you to buy this stuff behind my back?
you:no.liste i will tell you a story.
when i was a litle kisd of 8 years my father took me with him for my first bowhunt.
that was very exceting for a kid of my age.
i was very proud of my bow.
it was a selfmade haselnutstick.
after a while my fater turned aroun to me and said.
father:son?
you:yes,dad?
father:if you ever gona be a good bowhunter look for somthing better then this haselnutstick.
you:ok dad when im as big as you im gona buy me a bow as good as yours.ok dad?
father:good boy.but one warning tho.if you are married at that time,dont tell you wife the price of that bow.ok?
you:ok dad.
.............
you:dad,i have a question.
father:yes son.
you:didnt you tell me NOT to lie when im married?
father:yes....but.... you know...you see......
with trad archery.....you better lie.
you:realy?
father:yes,its better,i know what im talking about.
you:ok dad i trust you in that.
father:but one warning,dont get caught by your wife,you will be in big trouble.
so take good precautions not to get caught.
you:ok dad.
father:and dont ask me for help,your mom will get aware of it,and then i will have a talk with her.
about my bows.
you:ok dad.
back to present.
you:now you know everything about my secret.
its dads fault.
she:.....
gets up,calls your mom,mom is having a talk with dad,about his bows.
she is angry with you anyway.
father is angry because the secret is not a secret anymore.
mom is angry because you didnt tell it to her earlyer.
you are a lost and lonesome stranger and nobody wants to talk with you anymore.
honestly the only thing you can do is,go to your wife abd surrender.
godd luck.
i hope nobody minds the tipos,but im not a native englishspeaker,
greetings shantam

Jewelry, fast.

Shantam, that is awesome..... Well I took some advice, I blamed it on the Wensels... I said honey look at these guys, look at how happy they are.... don't you want me to be happy???? the only way I can be happy is to try and be like THEM I wear the best camo- shoot the best arrows and use the best broadheads... I still can't eat pecan pie though "too rich"...
she didn't buy it. she took my debit card from me , maybe I do spend too much.........
Wonder what kinda new stuff David has over at DAS!
by the way I'm not aloud to use the computer at home.... but I have one at WORK and I'm here 14hrs a day 6 days a week!!!!!!
-
coyote tim, you need to start doing the yard sale thing as well as the trading post and maybe even ebay. by every cheap bow you can get you hands on. by cheap i mean like $5. at a yard sale. once you have collected about 15-20 of them you make yourslef a bow rack that will hold them all and have it out where she can see it. as you buy new custom bows you remove one of the cheap filler bows and dontate it to comptons or PBS for their youth stuff. she will never notice the difference if you display them right and don't make a big deal out of them. then you can brag on yourself and say something like, "honey, bought a new bow today", "at a yard sale", "got it for $15." then you hand her a couple of twenties and tell her to go get her nails done. she will be bragging on you.

So lets see if I got this straight, you are working 14 hours a day, 6 days a week to support your family and "Mama" has a problem with a little money spent on archery tackle? :rolleyes:
Dude you got bigger probelms than you know :p :p
-
Pale face that is awesome.....
dryrot, your telling me... she is now telling me that it has Nothing to do with the bow stuff......she say,s she has seperation anxiety, I think she's watching to much of THE VIEW or Dr. Phil.........
I think I'm going to buy her a puppy!
-
And it will just happen to be a wirehaired dachshund with excellent bloodtrailing bloodlines, right? And she will be responsible for feeding, sheltering, vetting, training it in the niceties of indoor living, having its toes trimmed and the like, right? :confused: :rolleyes:
You are a man. It is not your fault. It is Woman's fault.
For millennia, we have bred you for brawn, not brains. :saywhat:
" Iaskedmy dad for moral support but he said I'm on my own...Thanks dad. "
It is SO lonely, this being a man! My sympathies.

(Shantam, I like your stories too!)

Found the solution when I got a new bow for my first wife... best trade I ever made! :D

Best of luck to you. (http://cluster.ezphotoshed.com/users/chrisw8658/photos/1132504485-2.gif) (http://cluster.ezphotoshed.com/users/chrisw8658/photos/1133054428-3.gif)

Tim, walk with caution. Bying her a bow and all the access. to spend time works for a while. But the disease will spread and you will soon find her up front as the shooter and you are the caller,skinner,packer,butcherand then the real sting. Your favorite mount moved and replaced by hers,,,lol You'll find yourself in the archery shop bying lots of new stuff that you can't use......lol..
When friends come over and start admireing the nice mounts on the wall. Guess who's story is told..And to top it all off You don't dare tell her she's addicted.
Oh ya BTW when that bigg bull is in front of you and for some reason didn't go in front of your wife,,,,,don't shoot,,,

LOL :jumper: Luvin this one.

Not that I'm an authority on marriage or how to have a successfull, fullfilling one. Mine lasted a little longer than the reception. My advice would be, in your most sincere voice and mannerisms, tell her you were wrong and she is correct and from now on you will try to improve. And by all means don't show her this thread.
-
I feel for you on this one buddy. One thing that works for me is that I tell her that I could be at the bar drinkin'w/ my buddies, but I gave that up to shoot more and be with my girls. It also helps that I'm the working parent, and I do more than my hare of household chores(clean up after kids, my own laundry, dishes a few times a week). Complete honesty goes a long way, too. The wife don't complain much about my addiction anymore. If you work 14 hours a day and she can't cope with you buying archery gear, maybe you need to take HER to Dr. Phil! lol. good luck JW

Deny it to the END !!!!

I had a nightmare the other night and woke up in a cold sweat. I died and went to heaven and as I looked down on my wife she was having a yard sale. Selling off all my stuff. there went my bows and all the archery equipment, my guns, my guitars, my banjos, my fly rods... and SHE WAS SELLING IT ALL FOR WHAT I TOLD HER I PAID FOR IT!!!

Dude, when all else fails, bring out the one thing that will shut her up...but not make her happy.
Just tell her "it is personality flaws like this that kept me from getting a better wife!!!"
MAKE SURE YOU SAY IT WITH A BIG SMILE ON YOUR FACE!
She won't be able to respond...but if she does WATCH OUT.

Oooh, we would have LOST our marbles there... :knothead:
