What typically happens is when a feller is in love, he is with her 7 days a week all year. then come hunting season he is GONE. Shes given up all her friends, all her typical to do stuff, and feels neglected. Its a shock to her system, shes given everything up to be with you, and now in her mind, you've forsaken her. Without trying, you've misled her into thinking how its gonna be, even if all along you told her otherwise. Women need to have their life, and their life with you. So many will give up their life, FOR you. And now you've hurt her because unknowningly you've gotten her to give all that up. Relationships are give and take, but that means something different to a woman than a man. Most all women will give up everything for you, very few men will. Men can go 9 months without seeing their friends, and pick up like they never left off. Women dont do that. Being honest encourage her to have HER life, be that friends, career, school, whatever HER life is, and when she wants you to be a part of it with her do it with as much vigor as you do your stuff. but she still needs HER stuff... women will quit their bunko game, to cook supper for you and be ignored, if you let them. They quit a vacation with their friends, if you let them. Encourage that stuff, and she has a life, something to do when you are gone. We do this to ourselves, we let them do away with all their normal stuff THEY do, and then surprised when they are freaked about hunting season. travis
Good post.
