I've dated women like what the OP described, and all I can say is.....

 

You might be able to "work it out" in the short term but in the long run, you will be dealing with the same issues over and over.   Get while the getting is good.

I have a feeling that after this thread and the girlfriend joining to give her 2 cents, the OP is going to have lots of time to go fishing. 

Or none at all (if "fishing" is a euphemism for something else).  Well, okay.  Lots of time but no "fishing."

The Detective hairs on the back of my neck are standing up. Sounds like the OP let his girl read this thread...

Im willing to bet the OP and the Britsabrat12 is the same person.A la Crusty Mono.

The IP addresses match.  Either they're living together, or it's the same person.

  Conclusive evidence that the GF read the OP's post.  Poor guy. 

I was guessing OP left the screen up on his computer and GF read it. 

Hope he's still alive. 

Wow, this is the first time I'm seeing this.  Truth is stranger than fiction, lol.

I'm sure he's alive, I'm also willing to bet some fishing rods got broken!!!

I am in detective mode again. He mentions they live together in his original post.

We know she is still alive as she liked the "conclusive evidence" post you made before this one. Don't know about him though. It's a shame as he seemed like a pretty nice, respectful guy. Always thanked people for their advice even if it wasn't what he was looking for. Hopefully she don't give him too much hell as he was just trying to figure out how to make her happy. 

wimmen.....smh

It's not his job to make her happy. She needs to find that within herself. OP should throw her a bone once in awhile and go fishing. 

I have been married for 26 years, as newly weds I used to tell my wife "I cannot be your sole source of entertainment"....I think it is healthy and important for couples to have "space". 

 

I would seriously talk to her about this, it will not get better....only worse.

Important question no one else has asked: Is she hot?

 

...just kidding...like 68 Camaro, I've been married to the love of my life for 26 years, wouldn't trade that for anything.  She doesn't fish, hunt, shoot clays...or really even much like my hunting dogs...but we get along great anyway...because we make sure we make time for each other.

 

Long term relationships can be hard work, and you don't always get to do what you want...but you should get to do what you want a fair amount of the time...and so should your partner.

 

The folks who have said it's not up to you to find things for her to do are right...though it's admirable that you want to do that.  She needs to find her own interests, hobbies and friends...not count on you to be the only source of happiness in her life.

 

Just guessing here, but I'd guess you are both pretty young, maybe even your first serious relations ship...give it time, be there for her when she really needs you. carve out time for yourself to fish and do whatever else makes you tick.  Work at it, and it'll work out.

 

Ignore the sourpusses who think dumping her is the only answer - if she's the right one for you, you'll find a way.  If not, you'll find that out, too.

Austin11C, how are things?  I see you've been active here in the last week.  Not that it's any of our business, but I hope your situation has gotten better.

Rumor has it that they're going on a fishing honeymoon in June   

 

Hey guys. Things are going much better now, I've been doing a lot more fishing for sunfish and catfish than bass because she really enjoys catching bluegills and such. I think bass fishing just seems too boring for her. But no matter the fish it's still time on the water and she seems to be enjoying it a lot more. thanks for asking

Well good, now go buy that girl a nice ultralight setup so she can panfish while you bass fish! Glad things are working out for you two!

All's well that ends well. 

The End...
