Happy wife happy life.
I often just nod in agreement and then head to the forest.

I told my story once to a troubled teen. I was back home in NY after ski bumming for a while tending bar at a fancy restaurant. I was in my young 30s and I met this 16 year old kid who was doing coat check. He told me how no one understands him and that all he wants to do is ride his snowboard. I do, I said as I showed him my Montana State drivers license with an address that said Big Sky Resort. I’ve been chasing it for years. He told me how he was gonna drop out of school and go to Vermont. Don’t do that, I said. Graduate from school and I’ll hook you up. Some time later he called me. He had completed High School and was ready to get out of his fucked up situation. I called out to my old boss in Montana and hooked him up with the same job I had when I started out there. Let’s just say he took right to it. He met a Peruvian girl working in the dining room. They stayed there for 6+ Winters and spent their Summers living with family and surfing in Peru. They ended up marrying and now they live back here in NY. They have two beautiful children and a nice home. He got a job as a tradesman doing some tin knocking. He quickly moved up the ladder and now he’s a big time Supervisor. He’s gonna retire before me. Ironically he doesn’t snowboard anymore. I’m always trying to get him out and he laughs when I tell him how I’ve been killing it in the Belleayre sidecountry. He rides the skateparks to get back into the zone and road cycles to stay in shape and see the countryside. Life is a wild journey, especially when you take it sliding on snow. Never underestimate the positive or negative effects you can have on people. I certainly don’t.

Getting there at the crack of noon after 20min drive, finding the snowmobile trail from the upper lot and it’s all downhill from there after a short schlep up works for me. Cold doesn’t bother me much, cold & wind does. Never went in a lodge all year. Finally worked up the courage to hit the bar for takeout patio pint or 2 in March.

Apparently, I did something wrong. I kind of had this crazy idea that my ex could do what he enjoyed (golf, work and bar). I could do what I enjoyed (barN and wine afterwards). Then, we could meet at the end of the day. But, there was also a child and a house. And, when he was out all night, that pretty much sucked. I couldn't really count on him for anything. I drew the line at the girlfriend.
I think that's part of my absolute reluctance to get into another relationship. My OkStupid subscription is stagnant. For the most part, I really enjoy my freedom. Sure, I get lonely sometimes. However, I have this theory that everything in life is a tradeoff. Would I ever get into another relationship? Maybe.... But...
I still don't get why men feel like they need their wives' permission to do something. Isn't a relationship a partnership? Shouldn't each person be able to do what they want? Or is it a guy thing, with a secret decoder ring, saying "Yep. My wife is ok with me doing this."?
Obviously, I don't get it.

Probably not appropriate to post it without permission but would love to see a pic of this guy and his family.

I ask my wife if she's cool with it if I go skiing. Even if I am day tripping Plattekill, I'm gone 15 hours, Gore 2-3 days. While I am off skiing, she is DEALING with shit. I feel like it's only fair to ask.
I wasn't always an asker, I just went. I get just as many days now, but we get along better.
Picking your spots is key. Save the "look" for pow.

I don't mean that there shouldn't be conversation about it. It just seems to me that there should be a give and take. And, that each gets to have their fun. It just becomes a matter of balancing it.I ask my wife if she's cool with it if I go skiing. Even if I am day tripping Plattekill, I'm gone 15 hours, Gore 2-3 days.

I also don't get why men follow their wives around in the grocery store pushing the cart. My rebound did that once. While I guess it was a sweet, I would have rather been talking. Or, perhaps just one of use grocery shopping. But, maybe that's just me. I hate shopping.

Yeah probably the right thing, I more or less tell her. And trust me she’ll let me know if there’s a problem, rightly so.
I’m fortunate enough to have a wife who’s ok me skiing 99% of the time. The other 1 % I bite my tongue cause I got it pretty good.
