I personally think shes bluffing. My wife always tries to threaten me with that s**t. Have him enjoy is life with fishing and his wife. Maybe even at the same time.
Before I met my wife I told her I fish a lot. I also told her that if she didn't like it to leave now or stay for the ride. We have been together for 13 years now. I am the man!
Just tell your buddy as long as he stay away from the strip clubs, drugs, and any other crazy addiction hes better off fishing

If there's no children involved, then it's an easy call. But if there are children, then it's very tough.
Children matter the most,,,,,,,,,,,,,,with that being said c/bait is spot on,,,,,,,,,draw the line and go fishing ,,using tact on when to go and how he aproaches it,,,,,,,,,if she leaves for that then she wasn,t going to be worth a flip anyway.
BOTTOM LINE IS,,,,,,,,MAN UP,,gracefully,,,,,,for the<if there are any> kids sake.
That way if it goes saouth NO REGRETS for him!

I told my friend what u all have said and he wishes he could do what you recommended...but he has 2 kids and his wife right now needs someone with her for another 2 weeks since accident. He would love to go fish Tuesday with me, but he doesn't want to leave her behind since we'll be 2 hours away. I told him to ask her dad to be at the house Tuesday, but he knows taking a day off to fish will piss her off.
Any rebuttals? I will show my buddy tomorrow morning at work so he can then decide.
No matter what, I'm still heading up to catch me some trout and crappies! Power to the fisherman!
What type of injury are we talking about? If she's immobile and requires his assistance to do most things then part of manning up is to take care of his wife (that whole "sickness and health" thing.) But it sounds to me like she drove him crazy and needs to let him have a break. Sounds like maybe there's a second side to this...
The 2 week of no fishing for injury healing time is valid, but its the "GIVE UP FISHING.... or no nookie or divorce?"
Any spouse with that mentality is divorce material.. PERIOD
Hawgspoint is valid, your pal should go through counseling since kids are involved, however just having "kids" cannot make a marriage work, sometimes its best to divorce.
I was divorced with two boys. I have them now and the whole time. Single dad for years.. Boys certainly suffered not having a mother in the house.. {vacination shots to be specific} but you can't tell them there not better off not having a fighting mother and father like they had?
Though counseling and every attempt should be made.
NOW BETWEEN COUNSELING and NOW???? tell him to go fishing and not to rush home. One of those 24 hr trips.. and when he gets home try to get some nookie.. When she balks at the attempt, get up like its no big deal and open up one of those playboys right infront of her and when she gets upset. He needs to tell her he has needs and his wife either doesn't fullfil them or she uses it as a tool to control him and he has reached a point that his needs will be met with her assistance or not.
Sure you think this is over the top, and is meant solely to piss her off. Your right, but a real man won't have his dreams and needs held hostage over stupid behavior....
Something tells me she learned this from her mother and her dad was a big push over, or its the Ray Romano culture from TV.. You know how every dad is a big idiot who does nothing right in the household and MOM fixes everything.. From Tool time Taylor, to Ray Romano, to George Lopez... Dads in Hollywood are bafoons if you watch TV shows.. Enough of the rant on TV...
Shhesh could just be that its she just has the "hottie" attitude.. You know what I'm talking about.. The hotties act like their doing you a favor and the Fatties appreciate it.. Even make ya cookies afterward..
Like the saying goes... Fatties and mopeds' are fun to ride...... just don't let your friends catch ya on one
