Sometimes you just have to put your foot down, stand your ground and tell 'em who's boss! I told my wife I was going fishing today and she said that she really wanted me to take her shopping today. Has she lost her mind! I told her that It is a beautiful day to fish. You can shop any day. So, here I am sitting on a bench at the mall reading Texas Fishing Forum,

couple observations from my 27 years of managing malls.... never saw a guy sitting on a bench in a mall that looked like he was happy to be there.... only saw my fishing buddies twice a year at the mall.....one time was the boat show and other time was Christmas eve rushing around trying to find their wives a present...

So, here I am sitting on a bench at the mall reading Texas Fishing Forum, Sounds like she put herr foot down alright. Sucks to be you dude. Seriously though, I've got to go shopping tomorrow. If it wasn't for my wife I wouldn't have all the fishing stuff I have and be able to take the trips I do. She controls the money but if she didn't I'd spend it as fast as I earned it.

You just aren't annoying enough. My wife is dying for me to go fishing to get me out of the house so I stop making messes

My wife used to try and keep me from fishing and hunting. She learned quick I fished and hunted religiously before her and while we dated. Not going to stop because we got married. She knows if she pushes the issue I just don't have a wife anymore. I would never give up something I love for anyone and wouldn't expect anyone to give up what they love for me. But I did make a deal with her. On weeks I work Saturdays then Sunday we have family day. Weeks I don't it's my time to fish or hunt. Heck she even started going hunting with me this year and wants to try and take her own deer this year.
I can backlash toilet paper.

Yep... before I got married I told her Ive been hunting and fishing for 20 years, marrying you doesnt mean Im stopping either.

Sounds like a buddy of mine, if a tournament comes up and I want him to fish with me, I send a group text message to him and his mother (wife)... she wears the pants, keeps his manhood in her pocket and then tells him what they are doing...
I tease him endlessly, I call him husband of the year... it gets him so fired up

My wife doesn't like me going shopping with her. She said I rush her too much so she would rather I not go. Works for me.

I guess I'm fortunate, I get text's like this from my wife while I am at work, "are we going fishing today?" She likes to fish as much as do and let me tell you--she can fish! We still go shopping at the mall, but also at Bass Pro or Academy. She has bought as much fish bait as I have.
