Got pissed off the other day, cause I went detecting:roll:
Let me tell you my story (short version)
She sleeps till about 9:00, I'm up by 4:30-5:00 most everyday including weekends. So the weekend rolled around and I got up & and grab the gear (as I normally do) I was back by 9:00, just in case she wanted to do something? :aok: (WRONG!) This is what I walk into.
All I do is ~~~~!!! metal detect (I'm thinking who works 9hrs. a day, cuts the grass, wood ect.)
Shocker~ it isn't her, So now I'm suppose to sell the detectors... Aaaaaa, NOT! Told her, that I might as well start drinking again, don't think this one well be happy with anything, or one!
So now I'm out shopping for a 25ft camp trailer, cause I don't want to rent.
Somebody forgot their meds, this wouldn't be that bad if it hadn't happen before.
Signed,
Sick & tried:pullhair:
 
Had one like that for 24 years she would sleep till dinnertime used to get PO every time like you on the weekends I would get up and go trout fishing till about nine. Worked a way from home 10-12 hour days seven days a week most of my life. She would gripe if I was working on the road because I wasn't home if I was working at home she would griping cause I wasn't making enough money no pleasing. So 14 years ago we called it quits been married for 12 this time we get a a long fine. If I want a new detector I just go and buy it if she needs something she just buys it such as a car:lol:I don't think we have ever had an argument.
 
Well, you gotta do what makes you happy. I won't be like "Dear Abby" and recommend marriage counseling if that makes you feel better. ;)
 
hang in there bro, remember why you love her in the first place (and she needs to do the same). im lucky ive gotten my woman to come out detecting with me. I think she likes the idea of detecting more than actually doing it though. go buy a gold necklace get it dirty and wake her up at 9am to show her what you "found" for her.
 
The way I look at it is , you've got to do what makes you happy . I totally understand the give and take in a relationship , but some are just never happy . Congrats to all the ones on here that have found the right one to spend their life with , but for me , I try to learn from my mistakes , and that's one mistake I'm not looking to make again . Good luck to you , hope it all works out for you .

See we're already making progress. First things first. Does she have those cute little toes? You really need to think about that before you make any decisions you might regret.:yes:
 
Okay that's what I thought. There are 3 factors to consider here.

1-family
2- detecting
3-work

Notice where work ranks. That is what you need to tackle first. Look at all your bills,liabilities,insurance needs, I-phones stuff etc. and see if you can lower your liabilities in any way. If you can ,then see if you can put in less work hours in a day. There is only so much time in a day and if you can cut down on the time wasted by working that would help. :D

There's a 3yrs old little boy involved, that's the worst part. He's not mine, but I WISH he was! Afraid if I left, I'd never get to see him:crying: If it wasn't for my relationship with him. I would have left yrs ago.

Probably should have not posted a tread like this on the forum, but all my friends seem to have disappeared along time ago:hmmm: Had to vent!!!

Understand. While our kids were at home our friends would come over a lot. Over the years it seems like the guys all became alcoholics or let drugs get the best of them. It got to the point where there were no guys left and all the women still came over. So my male friends were pretty well depleted.

It sounds like you have your priorities in order. Everybody needs their lone time but you might have to give some up for a while. I don't know but you probably tried that too. Stick around and give it another shot. No win situations suck but do what's best for the 3 year old. :cool:
 
Venting is good when done well like this IMO.

It could be that lunar crimson tide time perhaps, which you just need to ride out, always seems like that can possibly consume 1/2 a month sometimes :|

Hang in there man.
 
Sounds like you have a real winner.....Sell your detectors...LOL!

Kick her to the curb...good riddance.
 
Good luck, I see too many relationships where the men wear the panties.
Top it off, most women ARE on some type of med for depression or moodiness.
Having been married quite awhile myself, with kids, I know that it takes work to make it work. All my brothers and most of my friends are divorced because she can walk anytime she feels like it, and take everything.

Somehow we married the same woman?
 
Mine was like that for a while , it was like she was jealous or something. I would go do my thing when she was sleeping , at work , or anything else she does , not like I was taking away from my time with her but she didnt like that I was having fun without her. She couldnt deal with me having hobbies that I could spend time on. Best I can figure is that apparently I had to be with her , if she was sleeping then I had to be sleeping too. If she was bored and staring at the tv doing nothing then I had to be as well. I never could figure that out. But she got over it and now she understands. Once she got some hobbies , working out , playing softball , etc. she dont care when I go detecting or fishing.....just as long as I go to some of her softball games and make sure I set aside time for family activities.
 
Definetly not an easy decision when kids are in the picture , even if their not your own . Good luck in your decisions . The way I see it is , if I couldn't make mine work , I'm not qualified to give you advice about your's .
