Don't wait for one that takes you as you are. Find the one YOU want and change HER!A woman who truly loves you will take you as you are… finding one is the harder part… PCPs easily attainable toys by comparison… So why not a few of each.

Why do I always feel guilty when my airguns or accessories arrive and hide them from my woman!!

Don't feel too badly. SHE's hiding that 12" long, 3" wide vibrator that got delivered while you were out shooting!

I believe women prefer a confident man that doesn't worry constantly about what others think. You want her to be attracted to you not a mirror image of herself.
Since this has the possibility of being read as asinine I'll tell you it's not meant to be. It's just an old man's opinion who has studied the subject for many years.

If you're like myself you have many hobbies and your wife has few or none, your appreciation may come from fixing , improving your abilities, keeping the wife from seeing your passion or addiction is a way of quietly saying i love you.

She knows it makes me happy and she is more than ok with it Has shot and loves watching me

She bought this and hid it from ME!
Then she gave it to me for Christmas! Around 1987. I was 27 then. It's still LNIB. I have two other 55's

Worse yet, a 12” wide by 3” long!! Ohhh buoooyyy!!Don't feel too badly. SHE's hiding that 12" long, 3" wide vibrator that got delivered while you were out shooting!
My wife supports my hobby, but not to the extent that I can just buy and buy and buy. In 35 years of marriage I’ve learned to “reward” myself, by doing chores or projects that most folks would have to hire out, so I reward myself with a small purchase here and there. Granted I need to rely on my son for the muscle work anymore while I do the planning, but it still ends up cheaper than hiring someone to do these tasks, and my wife wants me to pass on life skills down to my boy, so it’s all a win win.

My wife asks me if I’m shooting every nite. Doesn’t mind at all.
Some morning I wake up grouchy,
Other mornings I let her sleep in.

No problem here, but not CUZ i have a good woman, or i have a woman but have taught her well.
It is for the simple reason that i do not have a woman,,,, which some times are sad, but most times a relief.
TBH i would like a woman, BUT ! as i have a big problem taking chances on people, well then when i have tried i soon had to call it quits.
It is the same reason why i at the age of 56 only have 1 friend, i have known tonnes of other people, but they only made it as far as acquaintances.
It is also why you would never her me say in a spur of excitement " i will kill you " CUZ i would never say something and then not do it.
If i make you a promise, you can be sure hell or high water will not stop me from keeping it, so of course i also expect that from others, hence why i am let down so often on what is a very important parameter for me in any relationship.

Nope, you think you spend big bucks now, just wait till she wants the electronic gun with the diamond studded stock and the gold plated barrel.

You are close!!!! When Barbara got into this sport she thought she only needed 1 rifle and now she has 4!!!!! Funny part is now she doesn't say anything when she sees a charge for a new order of pellets or little things for the rifles....She does give me a funny look every time I get a different rifle and sell a rifle. "How many do you have now" Still 5 dear to your 4, but I also hunt with them

Eons ago my Wife bought me a Thompson Grayhawk for our first Christmas together. I had a friend tell Her I wanted a Thompson Thunderhawk. Stupidly I said something and we returned it for a Thunderhawk. In hindsight that was a bad move . For many years now my Wife will ask me what She is getting me for Christmas . Still , I wish I had gushed over the Grayhawk and said nothing .

Why??? Because you are a horrible person and shouldn't be allowed to have either! Pick one and send me the other. I will take care of either of them for you......though the rifles would be easier to explain to the wife
. lolMeh .... after a while your wife wont care and things will go on. My wife has accepted it, as well as it helping with PTSD as well. I force myself to calm down and relax to shoot the targets. Really is a therapy thing at this point for me.

It is therapy for me as well.
It’s equivalent to medicine no question at all.

Like many here, I find a place where all other anxiety ceases, worry stops, anger quiets and frustration lessens when the cross hairs settle on the bullseye
and I exhale, wait for the heartbeat to go and squeeze the trigger. A psychiatrist runs about $385 an hour without insurance. Once you have the equipment, CPHP's only run a little over a penny each.

Amen my man. Particularly if you don’t have children there really is no reason to be married.

My wife rides and shows horses. What I spend on my hobbies is a drop in the bucket compared to what she spends on hers.
No need to hide anything, and wouldn't anyway.

Don't ask, don't tell at my house. We have separate checking and I pay most of the bills. She buys what she wants, and I buy what I want. I don't question her spending and she doesn't question mine. It works well for us, but we are both responsible adults.
