Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Question for guys with good wife

Mine picked me up at a bus stop....no joke.

Blind date, over 30yrs ago.
As mentioned, they are hard to find.Most of 'em out there today are medicated well,so you will be fine

sorry to hear of the d-vorce.counseling?

Best hope she don’t read that..😂

lol


mine was the first girl I hired. Turns out she was too good for me, but she's still around. Mine falls under the category better to be lucky than good. I was lucky, kinda wish I'd been good. Love her more than life itself, but I squandered a lot of the love she had for me.

If she's bent on gettin a divorce I'd give it her as quick as I could... Dragging it out will not be in your favor

church is full of sinners too

don't press it, there is an ass for every saddle.

I'm with my first and only. We've been together 31 years. I just got lucky. I can't imagine life without her.

Our friends set us up, 25 years and 3 kids later, things are still going good, but she loves the outdoors, stays in shape and still likes sleeping in a tent.

My sister set us up 11/10/93.
Been married 22 years, you all would make fun of the gushing things I could say.
But, it's been good.

My sister has put several good couples together, they have stayed together.


Sister is in the middle of divorcing a total a-hole.
Currently dating what I think will be a new a-hole.

Married to an angel for 37 years now. Was dating six girls at once when I met her. Had been praying for two years for God to send the right one my way. When I first laid eyes on her, I'll swear till the day I die, He said "There she is....was she worth the wait?"

Don't push things and life will eventually fall into place....I'm sorry for your Divorce....

A couple of suggestions:

Lawyer up and get through the divorce as soon as you can. The longer the divorce drags out, the more bitter and wounded you'll be. It'll cost you one way or the other, dragging it out to squabble over a few bucks just puts the bucks you don't want to give her into her and your lawyer's pockets. Accept that it's done, move on with your life and don't let her live rent free in your head for the rest of your life. Someone's sig line is hating someone is like taking poison and hoping the other person dies, true words to take to heart.

After the paperwork is final on the divorce, give it a year before you start looking. A divorce is an emotional scar you have to heal from, and you must allow yourself to heal.

Before you start looking, figure out two things, 1) what attracted you to a woman that didn't make a good wife, 2) what things you did or didn't do that contributed to the failure of the marriage. If you don't figure out both of those things, marriage number two most likely will result in failure.

When you're ready, figure out what is most important in your life, and start looking in areas where you'll find people with the same interests.

And finally as some coworkers said regarding another co-worker who's having troubles with his wife. Remember rule #1. You cannot turn a whore into a housewife.

Pensacola Bay...38 eight years ago...

Met mine on a blind date a little over 47 years ago, she is better than I deserve. She is now dealing with incurable cancer, my heart is broken.

If you have a keeper, then cherish every day with her.

Very cool shipmate!

Imported mine from New Zealand.


Usually they are hard working women. This one is no exception.


It was damn expensive though. All the regular costs like if she had been an American....but then all the import fees on top of that.

Sitting in the bleachers at a HS basketball game, I HATE basketball, with my co-worker, hunting buddy Doug................ when this creature from high up in the stands walks past.............. I says to Doug, '...that's the best pair of walking away jeans I have ever seen...' to which he responds '....THAT's MY SISTER...' them jeans should have been bronzed.........

that was 43 years ago.... first date was to a dirt-track stock car race, and then out to the Weeki-Wachee River dock to fish.......... for real. I know hopeless romantic I am.....

She's beautiful, good mother, smart, frugal, looks out for me, passionate, sexy, capable of being angry, asks for help WHEN needed (don't offer if she hasn't asked yet).............

but occasionally has problems with small words....

I was laying on the couch when she asks '...did you do such and such...' I don;t remember today what it was, but I answered 'NO'..... she offers '...what do you mean NO!...' I raise up and say '...Babe, it was a two letter word, which one gave you the trouble...'


WRONG Answer!

Can't imagine her not being here................

hope your pain ends swiftly..................

If you're fortunate enough to have had an awesome mother that was a submissive and faithful wife to your Dad, then pay attention to ladies out there.
Don't go hunting one, but when you stumble across one that is like your Mom, marry her.
It's worked for me for 34 years now.

Good advice

I’m sorry to hear about your trouble, that must be a tough pill to swallow. I’ve always believed that the first 5-7 years were the toughest, trying to merge two lives and the nuances that entails takes patience and understanding along with a good measure of empathy.

I met my wife in a bar/nightclub. 😁 Not ideal but it worked for us. I was at the bar the previous night and the hot red headed waitress kept pealing the labels from my long neck Budweiser bottles and smiling while making suggestive small talk. I asked the waitress if she wanted to do something after she got off work the next night and she said she’d love to get together after work on Saturday so I went back with her in mind. I saw my wife sitting there and thought she was absolutely beautiful. I worked up the nerve, with a little (lot) of liquid courage and decided to ask this gorgeous woman to dance. That was 21 years ago and I never looked back. As much as I wanted to explore the hot red headed waitress I completely forgot about her until a few days later but by then I was mesmerized by my wife.

The irony of meeting my wife in a bar is that she doesn’t drink since she’s allergic to alcohol, being half Asian she doesn’t possess the enzymes to break the alcohol down properly. I drank for the both of us since I, being Irish and German, have an excess of alcohol rendering enzymes. 😁

I hope that some honest talk and a willingness to make your marriage work can salvage it. I don’t know many marriages that didn’t have tough times but a mutual respect and a willingness to make the necessary changes can reveal a stronger and more pure love. I truly wish you the best.

ETA.... I should add that the reason her and her girlfriend were at the bar was because it was around the corner from her apartment and the snow storm had prevented her from going over to her parents house and going skiing in Chelan since the passes were closed. She just wanted to get out of the house and the bar was the only options based on road conditions. I went to the bar in a snowstorm because I like snow and beer and it’s just what I did on Friday and Saturday and Thursday and Wednesday nights sometimes on Sunday Monday and Tuesday nights too. 😉
