Where did she say she did that to her husband? If she did, I missed it.

my wife just sent me a picture of a shirt. it Said may God watch out for young relationships during their first deer seasons.

being we started dating at 16 she has always known October starts deer and it goes through December.

YET she did plan and schedule our weeding October 16th. I can't believe I went along with that. But she was right and the fall colors were in full swing and reflecting off the lake for even more effect made for great Pictures..

she never has said a word and knows my vacation will be schedule around hunting dates mostly youth hunts and trips for the kids the last decade. never a complaint out of her she knew who I was from day 1. she used to hunt with me but does not like the cold and stays home now. I think I probably concentrated on help keeping her warm more than on the hunt when we were younger and more on the hunt as we got older causing the lost intrest i. hunting. But the house is alway warm when I get home with hot food and drinks around other hot stuff waiting on me when I get home from a hunt.

I have never asked my wife for permission to do anything. If I want to go do something, I tell her and I do it.

Sometimes I’ll ask her if there’s any plans this weekend, incase I forgot about some event.

I show up for family gatherings and birthdays. I actually enjoy them!

If I have company over and we’re chatting in the entrance or in the garage and it’s late, my wife will never hound me to come to bed or be nagging about anything.

If I’m out fishing late, I never get a phone call demanding me home, ever!

From about October 15th-December 5th ish I will be hunting every single day.

And that’s just the way it is.

And I suspect gunnleg would consider you whipped for asking her if there are plans that weekend.

myself I ask general as it's polite and I value my wifes thoughts and opinions as she respects mine. I would hope everyone in a relationship had the same respect for each other. It's not wiped just respect to your spouse the person you decided valuable enough to marry and commit your life to.

asking if There are plans or something they would like to do together or if there is something I forgot about ( happens often) is necessary in a healthy relationship. if you don't valuable and respect your spouse why on earth marry them?

my guess Is the men with the most bravado on line are the most likely to be a wiped simp in real life and can project their desire to be a what they think is a Dominant man on line. but I'm just spit balling.

Wife and I have been together now some 37 yrs. We had our son when we were in our late teens. We ate everything that I could catch or kill for many years because we had to. She has a passion for fishing that is second none and will hunt sporadically (she also owns more handguns than me). About the time that my son could walk he was in the woods or on the water with me. Wife knows all the seasons and understands what drives me and never has any expectations of me during these times minus household chores. But..... It didn't start out that way. A lot of bickering and bs for a few years. When it finally clicked in her she sat me down and apologized for what she called "being greedy". I never saw it that way but that is how she felt.

Sometimes it takes a significant other to understand the passion and desire. Some never do. Be grateful and appreciative if yours does. I owe a great debt to my wife of which I fear I will never be able to repay.

I believe that being a simp is the underlying cause of a lot of divorce. Boys are being taught that masculinity is a bad thing. Things like toxic masculinity are tossed around a lot. Its unnatural. So a young woman finds a man that allows her to be the dominant partner. Both think its the way to a successful marriage. After a few years the woman loses respect for her husband and the man is frustrated trying to be what he is not. I am not talking about a man being a tyrant. Asking your wife if she has plans before you go out drift fishing all night is not being a simp its showing respect. In every relationship one person will be dominate. Its unnatural for a man not to assume that role. If he does not his wife will lose all respect for him. In most cases at least. Something like 90% of the time its the woman who files for divorce.

No…not the case at all. My using ‘whipped’ might have been a poor choice and perhaps my rant to start this thread could’ve been written better.

If you have plans with your wife, kids, family, God, you name it, good on you. If you have to change your plans because something family related came up, good on you. If you make plans with someone and cancel because your partner has guilted you out of going or if you have to ask permission (their words on more than one occasion) then I think something is wrong in your relationship.

The wife and I hunt, fish and trap together, in the off seasons we look for new adventures always have since we got married. I always tell our boys make sure you can be friends with the person you choose and that you have some hobbies in common or the novelty of being attracted to each other will fade fast.

I can't be friends with any man who calls his wife "Wifey." Off topic a bit, but an important data point for potential friendship.

If a buddy has to "ask for permission" from his wife to hunt or fish with me, I lose a lot of respect for him and it may be over.

Being considerate of existing plans is different than permission. I would never ask mine for permission--we're busy people so I certainly coordinate. I owe that to her, my kids and myself. Same rules for her.

Agreed!

Danny -

You are correct. Men today very much do not know how to love and lead their wife. I have only been married 19 years and still cherish and thank God for my wife. I am still learning how to love and respect her for what she means to me. We prioritize our relationship with our Lord first and then each other. If something is out of whack, generally I have not spent enough time with my Creator......I firmly believe God has given me what I NEED to better myself. I may not always enjoy the trials and tribulations but growing and learning is not always fun - sometimes it hurts. I definitely would never consider myself whipped but extremely blessed.

Told my wife that I hunted, trapped, and fished all my life and it wouldn't change after marriage. She has never hounded me about it. Now some friends I had in the past were different. If your other half had to give you permission to go, well that's why they're past friends.

My wife knows what I am and what I do. No "permission" is ever asked. I write a note or tell her what I'm doing. She does the same.

It’s about any scheduling conflicts not about permission.

One of the reasons I never wanted to get married. Whipped guys (today they're called "simps") make me sad and angry. I would never stand for that nonsense.

Wife and I will be married 33 years at the end of this month. We dated for 5 years before that so we both knew what we were signing up for when we married.

She sometimes goes fishing with me but mostly sunbathed on the back deck unless the fishing is really good. She has killed several deer but mostly a fair weather hunter.

Nope I'm married and trap,hunt,and fish as I please

Sounds like a lot of you have wives that are glad to get rid of you Bars in town used to have a "Hunting Widows" night for the deer opener My wife would'nt let me go
