need some help with the wife

[snubbyfan]

We were sittin' on the sofa watching tv and my wife askes me "are any of those guns loaded?" I felt like she's not gonna get me that easy and I said "why no they're not," figuring she'd give me hell for having loaded guns in the house. She replied, "well why the hell not, what good are they unloaded?"
I got me a good one.

Bought my wife one of these for her birthday - Mosquito Pink Finish - and she LOVES it.

As for handling the wife, I haven't located the Wife Repair Shop yet but, here are some tips...

• If she says, "Go ahead. I don't mind." Look out! It's a trap!
• When she says "Go ahead, sure, no problem" that means "If you do it, you're in trouble!"
• If she says “I’m not angry.” then she is very, very angry.
• When she says, "I'm not upset" that means she is extremely upset.
• When she says "It's your decision" you should already know the "correct" decision
• If she says "Do whatever you want" that means you're going to pay for this later.
• "We need to talk" means you're in for a tongue lashing
• If she asks "Do you love me?" she wants something expensive.
• "Sure... go ahead" means don't you dare!
• "You need to learn to communicate better" means "Just agree with me."
• "Are you listening to me!?" Oops Too late, you're dead.

One more to add to THE LIST:
"Go ahead and do it ! You are going to do it anyway !" I hate that one.

I'm so happy that, in 46 years of marriage, my wife has never thrown any of those statements in my face.

We love guns. They (most of them) don't love guns. Don't be to pushy or she will push back. Be patient, over time she just may see the positive aspects of firearms. My wife of 25 years has come a long way in understanding my passion. The first gun I bought after we were married didn't go well. These days, we enjoy shooting together, and she is actually attending the Smith & Wesson Collectors Association in Kansas City in June with me. Patience will pay off.

You are a blessed man indeed.

When i went out and bought my rifle, my wife was out buying shoes and getting her nails done. She knew i was getting it but refused to shoot it or even hold it for that matter. She came home one night from work, me and some friends were out back target shooting. She saw how easy it was, no recoil and not to loud . Since that day i have to fight it out of her hands just so i can shoot it. have one on order for her now. She still wont shoot my big AR though haha. good luck man just dont force it on her and you will be fine.

I have been married 32+ years. My wife was dead set against any pistols / handguns when the 5 kids were in the house. I had my shotguns for hunting and those were all she tolerated. Once the kids were out of the house the game changed dramatically. She even wanted to try some pistol shooting herself. She know owns 6 handguns. I own... ( I'm not saying... ) Plus several rifles
We had all girls in the house except the one boy who I took hunting. My point is this...I respected her wishes when the kids were young, but my respect paid off. We now shoot weekly, the grown kids have all learned to shoot...and love it.
Married life is a long journey.
Sometimes it may seem you lose a (Big) battle but in time God has a way of making all things work out.

31 years, I was in the Army when we met and her family were all farmers and hunters, so she was around them all her life, but does not care to shoot them. she has her own .327 mag at her side of the bed though and a good torch.
she has never said any of the things i'm reading, i don't question what she buys, so she has the mutual respect for me. not saying how many guns i have in 2 safes, but i will say she has over 40 pairs of shoes and prolly 1/4 more than that in purses!!!
