For all married guys

[viewofthebay]

Can someone define 'man cave' and what belongs in a 'man cave' ?

Clearly your over come by your own ignorance mate. I have never "told" my wife to do anything, and she has never told me to do anything either.

If you read my above post you have understood this. There is a difference between talking about things and having a difference of opinion and being a ****ing pussy. I love my wife, i work hard too support her and i love, protect and respect her, her input and any decisions she makes in her life. And she does the same for me.

If "your" woman doesnt understand your love for a hobby, then clearly she doesnt understand you! and even if she doesnt understand your hobby, noone has the right to rule your life. Like i said in my post above that you seem to completely ignored, marriage is two ppl sharing their lives together not one controlling the other. And as you said your not even married yet, give it a couple of years of your wife "controlling you" and we will see who ends up in divorce first, you or me.

lol maybe your just reading what you want to read, cause i think im pretty repetitive when i say im not whipped, i just take her opinion to make her feel special and important, your mood has changed since your first post "go back to mommy" to "well i respect my wife and i think her opinion is important and blah blah", w.e you say champ, il let you live in your shoes and il live in mine.... but before you judge other men or anyone for that matter, count your own nuts in ya basket, and let other people live how they want.... some people believe what there wives say is right and thats it, i mean me personally i think thats absured but im noone to judge...if they cant learn how to make there wives feel special and still get what they want that isn't my job to teach them... but i wont give them **** for it and make myself seem better than them cause in this world we all bleed the same sweat the same and piss the same.....

bit of a hipocrite dont u think ur judging him for his opinion

Wow there are some interesting folks around here.....
Taking your wife's opinion and discussing the outcome together is not being "whipped"- it is living like a responsible adult. Saying the wife "let" you have another tank doesn't mean your whipped, it means that she approved and is supporting. If she say's no, there might be a good reason. Stop being childish people. Marriage is for life, hobbies aren't.

very well said

pfft more like hobbies are for life wives arent like a funny comdien said 3/4 marriages end in divoce if 3/4 parachute didnt open would u go sky diving

You guys should first find out why your wife/Girlfriend want you to stop your hobby or why they want you to down size your tanks. I had the same problem as all of you, my fiance told me I cant get any more tanks and I must get a smaller tank and get rid of the big one that I have. We had a fight because of it but that did not solve the issue.
when I cooled down and thought about it I realized that there must be a reason for her decision so I went and spoke to her and she told me it is because I don't spend time with her any more and she feels the fish are more important to me than she is.
So there is the Problem!!!...How to solve it???....Well it was easy all I did was tell her that I am not going to give up my hobby or down size and I am still going to get a bigger tank but I will spend much more time with her and do a lot more things together and guess what guys I don't have this problem any more in fact my fiance now goes with me to buy fish and look at tanks. the morel of this story is find out why she want you do stop or downsize and see if you cant come to a compromise and stick to what you promise. I don't think that is "whipped" as some of you guys say.

**** mate, that's Dr phil stuff right there. Lol, but yeh, I have to agree with ya mate, that's good advice.

To me whipped is when you have to ask perrmission for something. If you just talk to them to get another veiw of a situation, I do not see the harm in that. I take in her consideration at every purchase, I allready know what i am going to do but I consider what she says. If you considering what she says means you are going to follow what she says every time then thats not a consideration. Thats a order and you are whipped, plain and simple. I see guys at the lfs all the time calling there wives and asking permission to buy fish. It is such a sad site to see. ------------------------------I am done with this thread, some people must like to be whipped and maybe the need it. ----good luck to ya

I don't think asking permission to do things is being whipped, picture the situation, you go out and buy a 6 foot tank, come home, and the wife rips into you because little timmy is sick and needs to go to the doctor, but now you can't afford to. Now if only you asked before you bought it, your wife woulda said, not now, we need the money to take timmy to the doctor. I don't think asking for permission is being whipped.
