Gray market ATV's ?

This thread was started to find out who has to ask permission before there able to do anything. Example: I like to fish, and hunt, and me and my wife have a good relationship towards that "no problems" sometimes she goes with me and sometimes not. OK seems like the last few sets of friends I've had, have to ask permission to go. "This makes me sick. " One of the friends kinda changes his voice like "baby talk" to ask, and had another actually had his wife time him, another words when I go out it's usually a all day event. About 1 1/2 hours out he's saying are you ready to go "Debbie's" time me. She wants equal time away to. There's nothing wrong with equal time, but I believe there's more to it than that. Have a brother- in- law same way was scared to death of his X. Now if there's a event your planning together or something of the sort that's different if you come in from work, and say see you later "gone fishin". You know "respect" between yourselves. I think you see my point so come on be honest, and spill your gut's. :D
 
I dont really ask permission. but she does "time" me if i say it'll take 3 hours and i get hung up and it takes 4 she gets mad. thats what drives me nuts.

That's understandable maybe she's thinking of you being involved in an accident or something. I'm referring to being more of a "control freak" scenario!
 
I don't have to ask, I just do it (not a shameless plug for Nike). I do try to make sure nothing is already planned though. Some of my friends have to ask. I asked a friend of mine to play softball on my team one night a week, and his wife said no. I couldn't believe it.
 
I always ask, but I don't ask because I need permission... I ask out of respect for her and I expect her to do the same. Works out great... haven't had a problem yet.

This reminds me of the 3 guys out fishing one morning and one says" I had to promise my wife I would rebuild the deck to come today. "

The middle one says" That's nothing, I had to promise to remodel the kitchen".

The other one didn't say anything. Finally they asked him what he had to do to get to go.

He said," I set the alarm for 5 am, when it went off I said to her, Honey you want sex or should I go fishing"? She said," be sure to wear a sweater".
 
I never asked permission of my ex to do anything; just told here where and what I was planning to do (if I thought of it); dont wait up for me. I couldnt handle a control freak that had to give her blessing for me to pee in the yard or go to a buddy's house for hte afternoon (like her mom- her now husband cant even go out with his friends for fear he'll <gasp!!> TALK TO ANOTHER WOMAN AT WAL MART OR THE GAS STATION :eek:). My mom had to know who, what, where, why, and how long when I was growing up (made dating hell), and 17 years is enough to live with it. On the flip side, I dont have to know where my significant other is all the time; everyone needs some space and time to themselves. If your lady (or man) has to know where you are all the time, I'd suggest some serious talks, maybe even counseling.
 
I tell her, honey I`m going to, or over to, or I will be back in x-amount of time. If I am longer than I said, I tell her it took a while longer or I will call her on the cell phone and say I will be late.
