Many guys that "ask permission" are really asking if they can participate in a selfish desire instead of fulfilling a duty or prior commitment. So if I tell the wife she can't go out because I need her to watch the kids while I do the maintenance on the car, but then decide I'd rather go MD'g instead of fix the car...yeah, I'd have to get permission.
I have to say that when I do keep my promises, my wife goes out of her way to think about me. Without my knowing, she's planned trips and/or made arrangements to let me really enjoy my hobbies....

Ahh, I have heard all of this before....I think the one quote i can recall my wife saying to me was...."I wish I was your metal detectors because It seems to me that you hold them more than you hold me"....it made me laugh.
Yes, I have to ask permission, but she never says no. I try to be reasonable and spend time with the family on the weekends. But lately since I am leaving japan I have been trying to clean the beaches and not have to think about what I could have left behind when I come back to the states.

Not married but commited to her days off, Only time I ask is when it is a road trip or over night stay. Only thing that bothers me is she cares very little for the hobby and never asks unless I'm MIA.

You think THAT sounds kinky?
You think THAT sounds kinky, you should read the scoop thread! Just remember Big Poppa started it!
I'm at the beach at sunrise every day on the weekend and off when the free parking ends at 10:00am. The wife usually wakes around 8:30, so no conflict here... unless my mother calls the home looking for me at 7:00am!
When I get home from a hunt in the water my PI takes a shower with mebut I don't sleep with mine that sounds too kinky

Yes, but...
"Careful what you wish for, Dear. I don't think you'd appreciate it when I swing you around by your feet and dunk your head in the water."

My wife and I do have a problem in this arena> I go hunting and she goes shopping.
The problem lies in that I never bring back enough to cover what she leaves behind. Oh well, life is a trade off!

Well folks, I HOPE I am super lucky. My girlfriend is getting a wet suit this week and we are getting her glasses perscription ground into a mask this week also. She SEEMS VERY interested!
I will be showing her how to dive in 4' of water. I have 10 tanks and I have a spare CZ-20 with an 8" coil. I am really hoping for some compitition and some fun!!
She already loves boating and thats a major plus!! She seems to like my dream of traveling all over Michigan, staying in small cities and cleaning up some lakes to pay for our adventures.
Will see what happens after her wetsuit and mask gets here!

I ask if we have anything planned for that weekend. Otherwise, I tell her to tke the dogs for a walk and then I MD while she is walking the dogs.
My ex-wife was always trying to control. Long before I started to MD I was married and to be honest, I got tired of being led like a sheep. I guess I just had a bad experience. We still stay in contact from time to time. She was recently released from a mental health facility treated for bipolar disorder. 
Somehow I always got the mental women but they all seem that way to me.
So, I hunt when and where I want. I eat when I want, I sleep when I want, I fart when I want. If you keep a wife for sex you are kidding yourself. After the first few years you might as well have separate rooms. I guess being married is just not for me. Well, unless I find a rich woman about to die.

I go mainly during my lunch hour. Really the only time I have available, and even then it is tough to get out. My wife did encourage me to hunt a local park by making it a family day there, but between the ball games going on, crowds, and my kids needing/wanting attention it is pretty tough to get much time swinging. Don't have the time to squeeze much swing time in otherwise for now.

Big Frank is out hunting with the roosters... nice pants
Yeah, you might say I'm a morning person.
This weekend
I was painting inside. Never a problem on this end. She has more rings and things then most. I can't sell anything if she sees it first....

If I go before she wakes up she is good, if I go when she is asleep she is good.....I am like Aquaman, I do all the chores before I go during the day.
After 24 years of marriage she wants me to get out of the house to do SOMETHING.
She sent me an email yesterday that said "You know, I love exercising as much as you like MD'ing".....Yup I am a lucky man that has an in shape wife and supports my hobby

My wife grumbles at a lot of my hobbies. A lot of it is do to the fact that we have 3 young children and she is a stay at home mom. I know she just wants to be able to get out and spend time with adults and me leaving for hours detecting on a Saturday isn't her idea of a break from the kids. I know she's not going to be too happy when my metal detector finally arrives, because she doesn't know anybody here yet and we only have one vehicle right now. So when I go out, she will be home alone with the kids once again.
I will say that she likes my metal detecting hobby a lot more than she liked me having my reef tank hobby. Even though the reef ranks were at home, they took way more of my time and I would always talk about the tanks.
