Same here. To make up for it, I give my wife all the sex she wants:idea:
Good plan! :idea: ;)

I have felt that way up until this winter, as the ski widow. What changed? Compromise. I get time to do what I want, too. Granted, my situation is different (we have kids, more responsibility)... but you have to have some give and take in any relationship.

Ok... Does anybody else have this problem? My girlfriend thinks that I ski too much and think about skiing too much!

You have to know from day 1 that she comes 2nd to skiing...that's what I told my ex girlfriend..:argue:

edit: You've only skied a little bit so far this season..and you should be able to think about what you want.

Yea the only part that is bad is when you scream out the name of your favorite trail name instead of hers

:lol: good one

Wait until she has to deal with you come wake boarding season, which you do even more of.

I have a pretty good compromise with J and she understands that if I don't get out at least one day a week, I'll be an even more miserable bastard than I already am.

Before meeting my current girlfriend I had this same problem with many girls before her. Breaking up usually happened around November, something new usually started around June. You might consider taking the time to get her involved (this is a huge investment in time, money, and patience) and maybe it can be something you share together.

LMBFAO!!!! Root you give it up to easy..:beer:
you've skiied with me enough to know I've got some good ones sometimes

Seriously, my wife rocks. She understands that there's a very limited window to get skiing in each year. Once the season ends (({shudder})) I am much more understanding of her plans on the weekends.

Nope.

Are her thoughts on the issue impacting your relationship or making you ski less? If so, be afraid my man. When S and I got involved, I told her point blank that if she didn't ski, she wasn't going to see me 50% of the weekends during the winter. S actually thinks my obsession with skiing is endearing! :D

Wait until you get married and have a child and your wife doesn't ski....you have to get creative....and generous. It works out though.

x2

and x2 again here:

I taught my wife to ski and then we took a few years off (like 6 or 7...eek! :oops: )

We got into it again last year and it was pretty much life altering (not to sound corny). And I'm not just talking about the three pairs of skis, two pairs of boots, ect ect.....:razz: Seriously though, we're up in VT pretty much every weekend time allows. Sunday is "our day away"; our mini vacation of the week if you will. It really is a nice way to spend time together after working all week. Plus, it gives you a reason to be outside all day in the middle of winter.

Did she know what she was getting into when you started dating? If you were open and said "So like, girlfriend, I ski more than life, suck it up," and she was like "okay, I'll have ur babies anyway" then she doesn't have the right to complain. If you pretended to be someone else at the beginning of your relationship and now suddenly she has a ski demon on her hands then its your own fault for not being up front.
