How to...convince better half

  • Starting this thread to find out what everyone tells/asks their better halves (gf,bf,fiancé,wife, husband)
    when they're going to go diving. Haha


    Examples:
    "I'm going to go get dinner"


    "...fine ill take you shopping if you let me go diving"


    "...I'm just going to go test out my friend's gun"


    Would like to hear input from the more "experienced" in this topic as to what
    works for them. Lol

  • Yeah, no bribing or lying here. The wife & kid love fish and lobster. So its basically:"babe, im going diving tomorrow."

  • Hahaha I just plan it a little ahead and I get the green light. If it is a last minute dive I have to offer some special reason, like a buddy is in town or a season opener etc


    Keep the ceviche coming and the wife is happy

    i like to spear fish

  • I am going shooting and I promise to be safe. Do you want to come? Wife can free dive like a dolphin, she just wont kill :)

    fueling the boat.....but I'll stock the freezer when I get home. :thumbsup2::D


    Cheers, Don



    P.S. Well that's what I said to my first wife and now I have a much smaller boat. ;)

  • Mine tells me to go out cause the freezer is running empty. :D I have to hide the fish and wild game that I give to friends from her cause she likes to eat it so much.
