Man...your Situation Sounds Like A Page Out Of The Book Of My Life! I Also Married A "mall" Girl! If She Had Her Way, Everyday We Were Together, We'd Be Shopping. I've Attempted To Take Her Fishing With No Success. I Always Make Sure I Take Her To A Spot Where She Is Guranteed To Catch Fish, But Even That Hasn't Worked. She Just Says, "this Is So Boring Catching The Same Looking Fish Over And Over." She Usually Lasts 1 Hr.

We've Been Married 7 Yrs Now, And I've Stopped Attempting To "convert" Her. We Have A 4 Yr Old Daughter Who I Am Currently Working On! She Loves It, So Far! As For Serious Fishing Trips With The Guys, I Make Sure I Tell My Wife At Least A Week In Advance. This Seems To Be The Ticket. If I "spring" A Trip On Her Quick...she Gets ******! But If I Tell Her I'm Going Fishing Next Saturday With The Boyz, She'll Gripe A Little, Than Give In.

You Seem To Have Two Problems With Your Wife: 1)she Has No Friends 2)she Hates Fishing. You Really Need One Of These Two Things To Be Able To Go Fishing. People Need Friends To Be Happy! If Your Wife Had Friends, She'd Have Someone To Keep Her Company While You Were Off Fishing. A Wife With No Friends, And Who Hates Fighing, Only Equals Wanting To Spend Every Second With You Shopping!

The Only Reason I Am Able To Slip Out Fishing At All Is Because My Wife Has Friends...cause She Definetly Hates Fishing! When I'm Gone Fishing, She Has Friends To Hang With. Women Are So...sooooooo....needy! They Need Constant Companionship! Men Are The Exact Opposite. We Don't Need Anyone! We Like Our Alone Time! It's Science! Lol!

I Feel For Ya Man...i Wish I Had The Magical Solution To Your Problem, But I Don't! Whatever You Do, You Can't Give Up Fishing. It's Part Of Who We Are! There Has To Be A Compromise On Both Sides, Because A Marriage Without Compromise Will Not Last. Hope To See You Out On The Water Bro! Hang Tough!
