Wife is pissed!!

[byates 0]

Alo DZ.com'ers.
I know this is dangerous, but I wanted to get some of your opinions on something.

How does your wife or significant other react when you go off to a boogie, even if only for a couple of days?

I’m relatively new to the sport, just got my A license a few weeks ago, and up until this point my wife has been very supportive of me skydiving. There just seems to be something about a boogie that is tweaking her.

Did you invite her along?

I did, but the temps in Perris are suppose to be around 100 and she was not into that. Up until it started getting hot both her and my son would be at the DZ with me all the time.

My wife is just happy to get rid of me....I think she may want me to stay away...

Have you asked her what it is?

You are obviously new to the sport if you still have a wife.
Don't worry, that will work its self out.

....Seriously though. If she's concerned about you attending a boogie, it's probably something simple like: she's been reading the Events Forum.

Yea, but she is beating around the bush giving me the "it's fine, go ahead and go". She says it's being away for a night that tweaks her. I think she stumbled onto the "chicks Rock - Elsinore" boogie info site and has it in her mind that there is going to be just a ton of hot naked girls at the boogie.

It's always better if they have reasonably new gear and then get engaged. You get a better deal on their gear.

"Everything is great. I started jumping 6 months ago and, guess what? I just got engaged!"

"So, how much do you want for your gear?"

"Oh no. She's very cool with my jumping."

Yes - this is a case where the more she knows about these events, the less likely she is to be happy about you being there.

Does she have any reason not to trust you?

Or she might actually miss him in his absence, or she might not wish to go because it is rather tedious hanging around a bunch of knobs lobbing all day or there's other things in the relationship that need a bit of work and the boogie is seen as a place where fidelity may drift. or she may not want that much money spent on jumping. or a thousand other valid (to her) reasons.

True. The new rig, the new Mustang, and the trip to the boogie are all about him.

With all that money, they could make a downpayment on a new mini-van and that would be "theirs".

How selfish.

Just a thought but maybe she'd prefer you spend the vacation days and money on something the two of you can do together. Or does she get to spend a ton of money doing her own "thing" with her friends while you stay home with the kids?

All joking aside, I know plenty of happily married male skydivers with wives who don't jump. Female jumpers with whuffo boyfriends and husbands- not so many .........

I like to think that I'm pretty fair when it comes to things like this. As an example after this trip I'm taking a few days off to watch the little one while she visits her sister. I she usually comes out ahead.

Examples

I got my aff, she got a new Ford Edge
I got my A License, she got a new Mac book pro

We also make sure not to leave the little one out. He got a trip to Lego land.

We're pretty blessed (and spoiled) so I know it's not the $$. She only got pissed when I mentioned that I was going to camp out there overnight instead of driving 100 miles back home then turnaround and drive 100 miles back to the DZ.

A summer boogie at Perris? While there may not be as many women as there were at Chicks Rock, there will likely still be a lot of attractive women (some half-naked), and a lot of partying going on at night.
