Can I rant

I went through the same thing with my wife. I am very passionate about competing in 3d archery. But I got tired of her relentless bitching so I cut back on my practicing a lot "I pretty much don't shoot any more". So then because I am the type of guy that has to have a hobby I played in a pool league untill she bitched about that so much.

So I noticed my cousins marriage is strong and that man can do anything he flippen wants. So a asked how did he get his wife to stop bitching. His answer was "this is my life and I couldn't live like that so I had to stop caring about her bitching and do what I want to, and she will have to learn to live with it or leave either way I will not live like that"

So I took his advise and I spent the money I wanted to on my car and all the time I wanted to on my car. I pretty much put my car together in 9 months.

I did have to tell her the exact sentence my cousin told me. Once she realized she had no control of me, man I tell you I can do what ever I want. It's awsome and my marriage has never been better. Good luck

Oh ya this year I will practice more than I ever have for my archery competitions
