In the long run I think it'll be a good thing. I don't like the idea of being held back from what adventures I would like to experience. I will be able to devote more time to things that are important to me like fishing. Her dad has been a guide down here on the cowlitz since the 70's and is an avid outdoorsmen. My ex believes her parents had a lot to do with her dads time spent hunting and fishing, and I think she looked at our realtionship the same way. I don't think she understands what it means to people that our so passionate about those things. I tried compromising, but whatever.
