Okay. I’m off today and it looks like my wife will be home early PM. So, I’m jacked to hit the ice. The caveat is that I’ve been sick for 8 days and finally went into Urgent Care last night to get drugs. I’m feeling much better today. How can I rationalize this to my wife (a health care provider). Someone guarantee me that the fish will be hammering before this front moves through.
Just go and do the explaining later! She’ll get over it. 
Remember the creed of the male species…..
It is better to ask forgiveness, than permission.
Go and take the beating you’ll get like a man..

Yep! Geez hon, I’ve been cooped up in this house all week, I really think some fresh air would make me feel better! 
Instead of worrying about that, maybe concentrate on regaining control of your balls. Get them out of her purse and then proceed…..
(No,…..my wife will not be reading this…..)

Are you a man or a mouse? Just do it and worry about the consequences later like a man. Sooner or later she will get over it. She just won’t forget that you went.

I’d go with the fresh air route too. I really do feel better in cold fresh air, so it’s usually an easy sell. Plus I usually say that I have to go or Gutone4me will never catch any fish.
The fresh air will probably do you good as long as you don’t over exert yourself. Wait for your wife to get home so she can haul the heavy stuff out.
Timmy, that was hilarious.
I must be lucky?
I’ve never asked for ‘permission’.
Never had a time limit.
And never been greeted by the dogs when I got back.
Thanks Dear.
A: With a note left on the counter.
Just tell the wife that I (Jeff Bennett) went through 6 months of cancer treatments and was sick as a dog and still went fishing every day I could . The cold weather might just be good for you.
From Jeff
The “honey do”list usually comes in to play in those situations,which rarely happens.
TELL her, you will take out to dinner or cook dinner for her. 
A happy wife is always #1 on my list.
This reminds me of something i once heard…
If your wife comes out of the kitchen into the living room while you are watching the game and proceeds to yell at you, what did you do wrong???…Made the chain too long!!!
Get out there and sit on that bucket man
I posted this question to see how people would posture. Well done by some. Some continue to maintain their character. It would be interesting to see how the song changes with the wives listening.
Really, for me, getting out to fish isn’t an issue. She’ll be home soon, and I’ll be sitting on the proverbial bucket!
My tune wouldn’t change a bit and she just got home from work and is sitting here reading this. It’s just a mutual agreement/respect. And it might be the fact she knows she couldn’t stop me anyways.
But she’s never ever tried either.

A bold man would say “Yep! Geez hon, I’ve been cooped up in this fithly house all week breathing all this dust and who knows what, I know some fresh air would make me feel better!
I also have that mutual respect deal goin on. I told her from day one to never get in the way of my fishing or hunting, and she never has. I tend to ride on the old fashioned side, and I wear the pants in my household. I do, however, maintain that mutual repect and try not to be a D about it. 
Looks like a lot of “guys” have internet cajones when the wife isn’t watching, but would we respond the same if she was looking over our shoulders?
Are you dumb, I never let my wife read on this site. 
Tiger Woods thinks he has it bad, if my wife found out what hunting and fishing really cost she’d have new furniture every other year. 
I’m off to ask my wife for permission to fish on Friday.
Anybody who truely knows me, knows. But since you never will, I see no reason for further comment from me.
Have a good one though 
The very first date with my now wife, I told her “I trap, fish, and hunt…and those are my priorities in life” Her reply “So, whats your point” I knew then I was getting married!
Explain? Explain What??? Just grab the frying pan before she does. A guys gotta do what a guys gotta do.
Went fishing! No problems, except the fish weren’t too hungry. Hopefully tomorrow will prove to be better. Thanks for all of the advice.
