camtang Posted July 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2012 :thup: it's a two way street. if you spend all of your time with the fish and ignored her then she's right but if that's the way you preferrred it then that's how you've got it. a long time ago i found life a lot more relaxing when you don't get wound up over things you can't control and accept people for who they are so i don't mind what hobbies my mrs has as long as it doesn't clash with my golf, fire brigade commitments, hunting, fish keeping, going to the pub, twilight cricket & car club stuff :nilly: I find life a lot more relaxing without a moaning broad by my side :happy1: But you do make a good point.

smidey Posted July 2, 2012 Report Share Posted July 2, 2012 I find life a lot more relaxing without a moaning broad by my side :happy1: can't be much fun having one of those. i was very lucky to secure an accepting lady so not too much moaning comes my way although i do respect what she needs as well so there are often compromises made that make life more pleasant. It's not all about me and i don't get a lot of free time once sleep, work and family time is deducted from the 24hours in each day but it can always be worse. I choose to keep my wife and family so put the effort in, i guess if they weren't important i would do more of what i wanted and loose them.

Sheepsnana Posted July 2, 2012 Report Share Posted July 2, 2012 "Ducktape is like the FORCE. It has a light side, and a dark side, and it holds the universe together." This is an easy way to sum up my wife. She has her moments where everything goes together perfectly, we agree and everything is great. She also has her moments where we disagree, and she points out ALL of the problems with my plan. She holds my universe together. I need the positives to keep me motivated, the negatives to remind me of things I need to fix, and a jandal every now and again so she can vent her frustration :slfg: My fish have become a very large part of my life (our household is getting its 3rd tank set up), but my wife comes first.

Cricketman Posted July 2, 2012 Report Share Posted July 2, 2012 When I stripped down my display tank I think my Lady was more devastated than I was! She has always been supportive of my hobby(ies)... though can get vocal when I leave "stuff" (clever substitution ) lying all over the floor, and often may read me my geneology that I never knew... - She doesn't understand the "man-work-space"... :slfg: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
