HDAV Posted February 18, 2010 Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 just been on the phone to a friend who as given up shooting . so i asked him why his reply was his new gf didnt like him been out /away from her. Sounds like a bunny boiler (does that carry the same context on here?) I can understand people who dont like shooting or having guns in the house etc my missus is one of them. I dont understand people who want to live in each others pockets and have no seperate hobbies, interests etc. Yes i would give up shooting for a reason i felt strongly about or my OH felt strongly about but then i only recently started. When i was buying my cabinet the chap in shop said one of his mates had recently had to bring all his guns in for storage as the new girlfriend wouldn't sleep at his house with guns there, bit mad but i guess most people are, he was supposed to sell them but did a deal for long term storage instead, afterall the lady may only last a year or two...

mr lee Posted February 18, 2010 Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 If Mrs Lee asked me to stop shooting she would be disappointed. I'd miss her something terrible though. She makes a great flask of coffee for me before I go out..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poontang Posted February 18, 2010 Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 Women like to do the shopping, cleaning, washing and cooking. Strange hobbies i know, but who am i to stop them doing what they enjoy? In the same way i wouldn't expect, or accept, them telling me what to do in my spare time!!

poontang Posted February 18, 2010 Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 **** off, you eat meat, don't you? I wouldn't go out with one who didn't Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr lee Posted February 18, 2010 Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 In all honesty, My mrs would never ask me to stop. She knows I love shooting and sea fishing. She likes her tennis which I never interfere with. Were both happy with how it all works out for us. All she asks is I let her know in advance so she can organise the kids if she is stuck at work or has plans herself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breastman Posted February 18, 2010 Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 As Mr Heston said, "FROM MY COLD DEAD HAND!!!" I've told my girlfriend never to ask which i'd chose Tragically i think she knows what the answer would be Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thunderbird Posted February 18, 2010 Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 If any partner doesn't understand that you take your hobby seriously and do it safely (including safely storing your guns) then really there is a fundamental issue of trust and understanding in that relationship. When I got my new shotgun (after a 20 year lapse) my little boy was 18 months old and my wife didn't bat an eyelid, because she knew 100% that I would not be doing it if it wasn't completely safe. I also come from a farming background so that helped. But she isn't a cook/clean/mend type of wife either, she's a professional, we just have what we think is a good marriage. Each to their own of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alanl50 Posted February 18, 2010 Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 Id help her pack and even order her a taxi on her mobile im not wasting my phone credit Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chard Posted February 18, 2010 Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 (edited) She'd have to go. If she doesn't like you the way you are, she shouldn't be with you, so down the road she goes What would come next, she'd be making you have manicures and wear moisturiser and "nice" shoes Edited February 18, 2010 by Chard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delbert Posted February 18, 2010 Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 She'd have two choices my road or the high road why put up with somebody who isn't compatable? SWMBO is a bit annoyed at UK gun licencing it means she cannot have the same guns she did at home .22 rifle and Taurus .44 magnum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunderbird Posted February 18, 2010 Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 I like that Taurus, I have to be satisfied with the S&W 586 Nickel... in the UK anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy. Posted February 18, 2010 Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 If he's stopped shooting because of his girlfriend, I would say he is well and truly 'in the pocket' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
