So when he threw out MC a few years ago I didn't think he was serious. I thought it was reactive. It wasn't during a calm conversation. It was right after a disagreement. It felt like a dig? I knew he had a bad experience in MC in his first marriage. We were having some words and he said something about MC and I said we don't need MC and then he said I should IC because I need to be talking to someone. I think he must have felt shut out? He never brought it up again. EVER.
I'm not sure I understand your question about the guns?
I thought from my view I always supported my husband hunting. I never whined or would take time from him during hunting season. I really thought his pursuit in hunting and fishing was to have alone time. I think now he would have liked me going out on the boat here and there and just reading while he fished. I wish I had.
I've tried to ask more questions about hunting stuff without coming across as smothering. He will start talking about this firearm or that one that he has or ammunition and I have trouble following but I listen. I just have nothing to add. I don't talk that way to my H about it. I listen and I try to ask a question here and there. Its not that I want to go hunting with husband but somehow he thought I was NOT supportive of him. Its true that we quarreled over a deer head trophy in the house and I wasn't being supportive when he first expressed interest in butchering his own deer but I have since apologized and realized that I was not allowing him to be the person he truly was. I explained that as his wife I should be his biggest cheerleader when he is trying to pursue his passions.
