The longer the relationship goes on, the sneakier you have to be. After 18 years of wedded bliss I have found if I say, "Hey, I think I'm going to do a little fishing this weekend," the response is usually a snide comment about being with the family, yardwork and chores that need to be done instead. However, if I get one of my friends to butter her up (at a party after a couple glasses of wine is a nice touch) and ask if I might be able to go with him, usually she she says, "Of course, I'm sure he'd love to." Another tact is to remember the things she has done off with her friends. For example I milked a couple charter trips and a tournament at the shore just because she went to see Bruce twice with her friends.
Be stealthy and conniving and you will go fishing young man!
