Mine doesn't care either way, bought me an avy pack for Christmas last year and full skidoo gear the year before that. Got a meat smoker this year though

I rode more with other people, than my husband last year! We have a great group of peeps out here, and sometimes I'm happy to not go with my husband.
He is a phenomenal rider, and sometimes the stuff he does can git a bit over my head to the point I am not having fun.
There was a funny time last season though that I was freakin Livid. Like Im going to tie you to the tree and break my front bumper on you livid....

While I was working, my husband and his 2 buddies decided they were going to plan out a "never before done" route behind our off the grid mountain house.
There was a reason it hadn't been done before. freakin insane terrain. Now instead of him saying, honey this ride is beyond your skill, what he did was incredibly sneaky/smart. We lived off the grid, and had to snowmobile way up the mountain just to get to our house. We'd have Jerry cans filled with 91 for the sleds on standby so on Sunday, when we had our rides together, we'd be well prepared. Instead of saying honey don't come.. he filled every freaking thing up with gas that was physically possible, and said.. Oh no my love.. "no gas for you"... Holy sheeeeeeeeeeepchit I was mad.. Like I'm going to kill you mad.... so he went off on his merry way, and I sledded down the mountain, on the good ole trail sled, with a Jerry can, to drive to town to get gas, to drive back, then sled back up to the house and fill my machine up.
The day was not lost. In fact it was one of the best days of riding I can remember. My daughters and I went up the mountain to a wonderful happy spot of deep dry fresh powder, beautiful meadows filled with jumps beneath a beautiful blue/pink sky. It was amazing.......
We all arrived back at the house at the same time.. My husband crunched over, limping.. his buddies hobbling a bit.. They had bit off more than they could chew, and learned that yes.. indeed snowmobiles are gymnasts, especially when they cartwheel down a mountain.
My daughters shared the pictures from our ride.. Lenny, our duck dynasty looking friend said. "I wish I went with you"...

We still laugh about that day, and I am incredibly thankful that I am not dependant on my man, and sometimes welcome the time apart to ride with other people, and pursue what I find fun!
Here are some pics of that day! It was so so so wicked!

I know she does and that's cool . She'd rather be shopping or decorating or chit like that and that's cool ! I've sledded with guys that try and get there wife's or girlfriends excited about there hobbies or sports that just end up spending a huge amount of dough and they never get the same passion for it . Sometimes your just better of doing your own thing and each getting satisfaction from something you enjoy.

You are correct sir. So many peeps try to get there spouses into a sport just to justify there own addiction and spending. Ends up a waste of money and time. I told my wife once that if I were to ever ride a horse with her (she's a horse person and I hate them) that it would have to be a buckskin. Next thing I know she went out and bought a buckskin. Ain't happening. Lmfao!

Hey Momma, I like the flashy colours! Reminds me of Scotland

Thats funny, I married a rodeo girl and now have two rodeo daughters. Ahhh I get feel my wallet getting lighter. My theory is why ride just 1 horse when you can ride 200.

Soooo true... My husband is an avid ball player and plays on as many as 3 teams in two different leagues. People always ask why I don't play and try and rope me into it when they are short players. Im not terrible nor am I good at the sport; but, bottom line is that it is HIS passion and he should be allowed to enjoy it without babysitting me. Period. Sometimes I watch his games and lots of times I run to his games or go mountain biking etc,, and take the time for myself. It's good for both of us. Lord knows I don't want to share my long runs with him so he never offers to come!

When it comes to sledding, we are lucky that we both love it and although I don't make it look as good as he does, I can get almost all of the places he and his buddies drag me. (They never warn me about their 'special spots', just drag me in and let me figure it out: it has really improved my skills!) However, i totally encourage the boys only days and believe he needs that. Buuuuuut..... we have friends who have bought sleds for their wives in the hopes that their wives will love it and be more supportive of their sledding and sled-related spending...... it hasn't worked out well for all of them: a few of the wives just don't love it and don't want to love it and the rides are stressful and the boys are still grounded and now not able to go out without the wives ?!? Whoops!

I don't understand the "do everything/share everything" mentality. I also do not understand spouses who don't support their significant other in their passions even if they don't share in it?!? Time apart and a strong sense of individuality makes time together that much better, in my opinion.

That said... My husband is in Colorado with Burandt and I couldn't be happier for him

I had a serious bike addiction when i met mine. The bikes have now been sold or traded off for other things such as sledding. I get a little interference when i jump into something new but tell her that the idea is to experience as many things as possible. She is good about it all but still calls reading a hobby...
