Sin: sorry, I used you for an example. I've seen it so many times- man loves climbing. Woman he is with is some control freak who hates it when he goes climbing BUT he stays with her. And complains about it. So unfair. That's what you guys get for picking pretty ladies over rad dirt barbies! I'm gonna climb til I die, believe it:-D, and I can't wait to meet my permanent belay partner.

 oh dear
My wife doesn´t complain at all if I go climbing without her (she climbs periodically her self). If we are on a cliff and she doesn´t feel like climbing anymore she belays and doesn´t whine at all. I quess she´s happy when she sees me having a hard time  It´s the other trips(with guys u know) she finds not so necessary

Rockweasel wrote: Hi everyone, My wife is an outdoor lover and really likes to go hiking and camping. She is however, deathly afraid of heights. So, getting her to climb will never happen. Now, being the devious little Rockweasel that I am, I've proposed a camping trip during spring break (I'm a teacher) with the hopes of getting in a little bouldering and possibly some top ropping if the wife is willing to learn to belay. I live in B'ham, AL and would like to take her some place she has never been. We have hiked and camped in just about every place possible in Alabama, so I was wondering if anyone had some suggestions for Tenn. or North Georgia. I've been to Foster Falls several times, but I'm saving that for warmer weather so we can enjoy the waterfall and the pool below. Thanks, Josh

Hey now, I'm climber man and I'm not nuts! Too bad you live in OH... the Red is kind of a halfway point. You going there this weekend? I probably am, if I can stand the threat of dreary weather.
I will never marry a woman who hates dirt, that is my solemn oath!

She knows that she isn't the only thing in the world and is independent enough not to need constant affirmation and attention to feel secure in our relationship. That is on of the reasons I married her. She was one of the guys then and still is now. Man I love that girl.

Fishing buddies A woman is in bed with her lover who also happens to be her husband's best friend. They make love for hours, and afterwards, while they're just laying there, the phone rings. Since it is the woman's house, she picks up the receiver. Her lover looks over at her and listens, only hearing her side of the conversation... (She is speaking in a cheery voice) "Hello? Oh, hi. I'm so glad that you called. Really? That's wonderful. I am so happy for you. That sounds terrific. Great! Thanks. Okay. Bye bye." She hangs up the telephone and her lover asks, "Who was that?" "Oh" she replies, "that was my husband telling me all about the wonderful time he's having on his fishing trip with you." Just something to stop and think about it a bit.
eye roll My boyfriend isn't a climber and he allows me the same kind of freedom to climb. In fact, if a few weekends go by and I haven't gone climbing, he gets worried and checks in to make sure nothing is wrong! And I know what he does when I'm out climbing -- he pulls out his video games. Just because you have a SO that's supportive of the things that make you happy doesn't mean they're cheating on you!

Holy crap, it took awhile didn't it. It's called a joke, which usually extends the truth a bit. Just because you make a joke about something, it doesnt mean you are generalizing a whole host of people. Don't take it so personal, I was only pulling his chain when he decided to verbally attack me and my family life,LOL that sounded serious..........

he was clearly describing what would happen when "the wife" is taught to belay for the first time, learns on a grigri, pulls the handle and causes the husband to deck. not so hard.
