Any man that allows his wife, woman, abuse him in any way ain't much of a man far as I am concerned. I thank God I'm single and have my own place and don't have to be demeaned by a wife or anybody else for that matter. Living by one's self is the best way to be in today's world.
Now this tops the cake...........

Ok to stand them in a corner , just maybe not , muzzle down.? Maybe if you 'splain where the gooy stuff comes out, and that you would never , stand them muzzle down.
That's pretty much my motto. Whenever she rags on me for something, its like one of those disclaimers papers. Just sign the accept and go do it anyway.
In all fairness, it would have been easier had I not bought two ML in one weeks time. Can't blame the ole gal for getting a bee in her bonnet over that one. I'd be pizzed at me too.

It really helps in a marriage. We both cut up a lot. Keeps things more civil. Only problem is, sometimes its difficult to know when the other is kidding or actually ready for battle.
All in all, she's a pretty good ole gal. We are bestest good friends.

Speaking of sneaking in a new gun at home. I was at a LGS years ago. A man brought in a stiff gun case. He was buying a new rifle. When he opened the case he had a broom handle in it. He told the wife hes was trading in one of his other guns. this way she wouldn't think he was adding a new one. Worked for him.
Dang, that's a good one to remember. Might come in handy some day.
Just move into the garage, I did, life is good..
Well known fact that women can't count past ten. The trick is to have more than ten guns BEFORE you get married. She will then class them as "the collection" and won't actually take note of individual guns in it. You can then buy, sell and trade to your heart's content with no wifely opposition.
Yeah, I know... it hasn't worked for me either.
Happened to see a Ruger No. 3 in 275 Winchester yesterday for $1,299.00 at Cabelas. Handled it briefly, but left it in the rack.

and she was right
and she was right
I'd rather go to my camper. That way if things become too hostile, I can hook to it and head out. Sometimes in light speed time, depending on the circumstance.
One year when I was trying to teach her how to elk hunt, she kept on chafing my hind end. One of which, and to this day its something I will never understand, is how one small woman can make more noise walking through the woods than three drunken draft horses. It got to the point where this old boy had had enough so I turned around and went back to the truck and we drove home. After pulling up in the driveway and I backed up to my camper, she asked "what are you doing"? I told her that Ed's guide service is now closed for business and I'm going back up in the mountains to hunt Alone. And that's what I did and that's where I stayed until I got my own elk.
Small campers can be a wonderful thing.

Just establish a ratio with your significant other that counts her shoes to your guns. You will be surprised how many more guns you will be able to add to your safe when she can’t resist the department store sales she goes to.

Been married for over 40 years. At times I made more money, at times she made more money. We have always pooled enough of our individual income to pay the bills. She likes to pay the bills so that she knows they are paid. I have no problem with that as I can look over the monthly budget sheet and check book at any time. That said, we both have our individual bank accounts that the other doesn't have access to.
She still works part time even though she has been retired from her full time work as a nurse for over 4 years. This gives me a window of time to bring things into the house when she is not home. LOL she never says a thing about how the modern and black powder guns are now over flowing in the "gun room".

Fair is fair.....back when I was a lot younger, I was fishing with my son and like any good dad, had a few beers. Well the policeman followed me to the fishin' spot and looked in the car and saw the six pack. Called in the tow truck and took my car to the pound, but, that took quite awhile and he couldn't leave my son there alone. It took over an hour for the truck to show up. Then me and the policeman took a ride in his souped up Ferd to the State Police Station for a breath test. Man was he pissed off when I passed with flying colors(I studied real hard for that test). Well mean time when the tow truck driver dropped off my boy, he walked in the house, my wife asked where daddy was, and he said the cops took him to the police station....
Back at the State Police Station, mr. policeman told me to get in his car and drove me home.
When I got home, momma asked where her car was. I said they impounded it. She was very calm, and very nice. No arguments or nothing. Very loving and beautiful woman.
Next morning we got up and her friend drove us to the impound yard to get her car. I paid the man $200 and he gave me the keys. We got in, and I started heading for the house. She said, first honey we're going to the mall, this just cost you $200.00, a days pay, and a new dress for me. She looked lovely in that new dress.

Wow! After reading all these posts, I realize how great I have had it all these years. I married the girl of my dreams and my best friend when we were both 19 years old, right out of high school. We have spent the past 50 years together and it's been wonderful. She doesn't care much what I buy and I don't care what she buys (we both have worked hard our entire lives and made decent money). I try not to get too crazy with buying stuff and she does the same so I guess I am one very lucky guy!

Same here friend....
My hunting partner says about the same thing but he's only been divorced four times. Single for about the last ten years he sent me a photo of a mess of 2 to 4 pound rainbow trout he caught ice fishing the other day. I made my wife soup and carried the laundry upstairs.
The poor guy?
