@Chefman, a good woman is very, very hard to find… So simply get rid of all those PCPs that you don’t use much and go have fun with your girl… 😈And then after your settled down? Start buying PCPs again…With her permission, of course…🤓

I certainly would have the best of the best and the latest and greatest.

I wish I could have been a fly on the wall at dinner last night, how did it go?

After reviewing the very opinionated of our air gun community , I sat down with my wife to be to discuss the situation. I wanted to ensure she felt heard and understood, so I began by expressing my appreciation for her concerns. I explained that my gun collection is more than just a hobby—it’s a deeply rooted passion, something that has brought me joy and fulfillment over the years. I likened it to a lifelong companion, almost like a second child, that I’ve nurtured and cared for with dedication.



To address her worries, I proposed an idea that I hoped would ease her mind. I suggested creating a dedicated space in the basement, transforming one of the guest rooms into a sanctuary for my collection. I envisioned it as a place where each gun would be meticulously organized, displayed with care and respect, and even equipped with a workbench for maintenance and tinkering. I emphasized that this space would be entirely separate from the living areas of our home, ensuring that our shared spaces remained clutter-free and welcoming.



As I spoke, I could see the tension in her shoulders begin to ease. I realized that her primary concern wasn’t about the guns themselves, but rather about how they might encroach on our shared living spaces. She had mentioned worries that my hobby might take over the living room, kitchen, and even our bedroom, as it had when she first moved in. I reassured her that I understood her concerns and was committed to finding a solution that worked for both of us.



To further demonstrate my commitment, I surprised her with a bouquet of her favorite flowers the next day. It was a small gesture, but it symbolized my willingness to compromise and prioritize our relationship. I explained that just as she tolerates my gun room, I fully support her weekly book club and other interests. It’s all about balance, mutual respect, and understanding.



I think what truly sealed the deal was the realization that we both value our hobbies and personal interests, and by creating dedicated spaces for each, we can maintain harmony in our home. She appreciates the effort I’ve made to ensure that my passion doesn’t overshadow our shared life, and I, in turn, respect her boundaries and interests.

Good observations, perhaps she doesn’t want to share her time time with you with your Airgun hobby. Age matters to some degree, as a younger bride would be much more needy and rightfully so As our priorities change somewhat as we age.
personally, i think all of us need to be somewhat more realistic and ask ourselves what we are actually using and enjoying vice just owning and maintaining

Man, what a letdown. This ended so anticlimactic. We all like drama, but not in our own relationships. 🤣🤣
In all seriousness though, congratulations and wish you all the best in your marriage and continued airgun adventures.
