The reality is......we are only here for a short time and you get one swing at life! To not do and enjoy the things that you love well then I think you are cheating yourself! Certainly in life and relationships one has duty to family and responsibilities to tend to.....and outside of those obligations being met its time to enjoy ones life to the fullest and that goes for both men and women! Its give and take and when a relationship gets to be all give on one side and all take on the other......its time to drop the curtain on that show and move along! I am divorced once and that had nothing to do with fishing and everything to do with her being a douche'! When I met Angie I told her in no uncertain terms...."I fish......thats what I enjoy doing and if she got in the way of what I enjoy doing something would end and it won't be my fishing"! I had slogged through the #^&#^&#^&#^& in my previous relationship and was not going to slog through another....I would have been fine being alone (I already had my 2 sons) and doing exactly what I wanted to do when I wanted to do it but I met Angie and she understood and had been divorced herself so she understood what I was saying! Fortunately for me we have a great relationship, she loves fishing as well and never fished before she met me....she has her own gear and kayak and sometimes she goes with me and sometimes not! If you can find someone who understands these things I have said you will be better off....and more better off if they can share your passion and be supportive of your interests and you can be supportive of hers!
