I don't understand why more husbands/fathers don't understand this. :clap:A man with a 1,3,5, year old is hard on her once your gone with Disc Golf. If you play a tournament and leave all 3 kids at home with her, she probably feels like its overwhelming. My wife and son (6yrs) used to beg me to stay home when he was 2. Then I would say: "I'll be back in a few hours"
I finally realized how much it would hurt me to not have my family in my life as opposed to Disc Golf. They mean the world to me and I love them very much. I've tried to get my wife out there, but she has not enjoyed being around even a casual round. Every time she goes out, we run into someone who is dumb enough to pull out some weed or she almost gets hit with a disc.
I don't play nearly as much, but we have an understanding on it and when I play a disc golf tournament I always buy her a pedicure or manicure. That's a good trade! Keeps me from play as many tournaments as I would like.
Could it be that she just doesn't get it? Unfortunately, she doesn't see the real benefits. No one should judge this game without playing it. Today she may not get it but she will in time.

Thank you for being a voice of reason in a rather pigheaded thread. Maybe some communication between husband and wife, instead of a thread on a disc golf forum filled with single dudes who don't seem to respect women, will remedy the situation.
I just came by to read what others have written to you and want to say **** this guy.Could it be that she just doesn't get it? Unfortunately, she doesn't see the real benefits. No one should judge this game without playing it. Today she may not get it but she will in time.
One day I'm going to go to her trainer and see if he can put together a Disc Golf specific exercise routine. It also helps to point out how many miles you walk/hike during a round, so get a Pedometer.
This makes me sick and reinforces why I'll likely never marry. She needs to understand that just because you signed that contract and are a father, doesn't mean you aren't an individual. You are not property. Women can be territorial monsters and you cannot allow anyone to act dominate over you for any reason. Consider divorce and a life with a woman that accepts you for who you are and doesn't enjoy bossing you around.
