Could you guys pleeeeeeeease tell me husband how good he has it!?

OMG Exactly!!!! I'm a wife and I LOOOOVE to ski!!! My husband taught me to ski years ago. I followed him and he waited downhill until the day I started keeping up. We ski glades, on ice, in powder, in the pouring rain. It's great excercise!!! I think your best bet in life is to share the things you love. My husband loves to salt water fish and he shared it with me. I learned to love it too so we bought a boat. Play together and stay together!! We ski 50 days a year. I tele, I ski, I've dabbled in boarding. We have had season passes since the day I graduated from college almost 20 years ago. Our quiver of skis is as diverse as any I've ever seen pictures of on the net. All our vacations are always active outdoor adventures.

But honestly I'm not sure I'd have gotten into these things except for my husband's encouragement. Everytime he wanted to fish or ski he asked me to go instead of "taking off with the boys." I appreciated that so much that I found his love of these sports and his encouragement infectious.

Life's too short to be punished for doing what you love. I read skiing and fishing message boards and I see this common theme over and over. "The wife won't let me" "I have to bribe her if I want to do my thing" "The wife is a whimpy skiier and won't go out unless it's perfect" blah blah blah. How about some cheese with that whine?

I'm posting because I think there are other ways to handle the issue. Most important is finding someone that whom you want to share stuff with and who wants to share with you. How comfortible/easy have you made it for her to share your hobbies with you? If she does not want to, how reasonable is that on her part?

Reading these boards you'd think all women are just a "ball and chain". I hate to say it but if you really feel that way you really ought to reconsider your life path. Life is short and you only live once.

I'm sure I'm going to get some defensive responses. I think you have to realize that everything is a choice. I'm sure most of you stay because the good things out weigh the bad. Good for you if that's true but then you really have nothing to complain about. Just remember you do have a choice. There are plenty of women out there that ski hard and like to play outside.


OK - Go ahead--Flame away

So you ladies have any friends/sisters (skiers of course) looking for a widowed dude with 2 kids? :grin:

It gets a lot easier to ski when you want when the children get older & you can either take them with you skiing or they can be self-sufficient at home without either parent around.

Maybe I'll try and convince J that we don't want a baby and we should just adopt a fourteen year old :lol:

We've been together seven years now. While I take some BS that "skiing is more important than _________ (use your imagination), I do make ski trips by myself all the time. She knows it's important to me. Take my trip to VT. I'm going by myself. My wife trusts me that I'm not doing anything (too) stupid. It probably helps that when we 1st met, I was doing a lot of split shift work from 10a-2p, and then back in again at 11p-3a. I brought her to work with me one night and she was so bored out of her mind she hasn't been back. Trust is so important. Skiing is important. Hope the best for everyone.

How about someone who's willing to learn the sport? I have a nice friend who's a mommy who's soon to be on the market, thanks to her dirtbag soon-to-be-ex...

I brought a 24 oz foam coffee cup full of MRG snow back in the Sky box, and it's in my freezer. Anyone that missed the snow is welcomed to stop by and fondle a teaspoon full. It's my gift for the holiday.
