Hey everyone,
I was reading someones post about how their wife was complaining about gun purchases and I got to thinking. Forgive me if this sounds somewhat mysoginistic, but its a wifes duty to complain. And its a good thing! Let me explain.
Ya see. I used to have a very anti-gun girlfriend. She would never even consider going to the range with me and never understood why I had guns. Everytime I would tell her about a gun purchase or a trip to the range she would go nuts saying that i have to "starting saving money and that I cant go around wasting my cash on stupid stuff."
So one day Im talking to her and I mention about this new gun I want to buy for 600 dolllars! I was pretty much expecting an argument on this one. She merely said "oh thats cool."
Later that week, she broke up with me. Which is a good thing, because now Ive taken more girls to the range than uh...insert funny pun here.
So anyway. If out of the blue, your significant other is understanding or supportive of your gun habit and offers no reason, red flags should go up.
I of course dont want to say that if your wife supports your gun habit tomorrow, that she will leave you a week later. That is not the case if they offer a nice valid reason. Oh and this also applies to any female THR members who happen to have an anti-boyfriend. Unlikely, but maybe.
So anyway, I thought Id share a somewhat humorous experience and at the same time look out for gun-owners relationships at the same time
