littlclimb 0 #42 January 5, 2002 Has your wife said why she doesn't want you jumping?The one thing I learned from my 19 year marriage and my current 3 year relationship with my sweetheart is that a happy man is a man that gets to follow his dreams. If he has a dream he wants to chase and I support him...even if that dream is dangerous, a wonderful side of the relationship develops. Support can be either by joining them in the chase or cheering them on from the sidelines. Sitting on the side line and not being supportive or not being allowed to join in the dream will only lead to resentment on both sides of the relationship. Guys....this goes both ways, the ladies have dreams they'd like to chase too.Skydiving was my dream and I only intended to do one jump. John was supportive and we went through AFF together. Neither of us expected to get hooked. It has opened a whole new world up to us. We both have similar and different goals where skydiving is concern. There are days that I'm doing 4-ways and he's sitflying and other days where we're jumping together. Somedays we can't both get to the dz and that's okay too and we always tell each other to have a good time. When I had my surgery last spring and was grounded for 12 weeks I still went out to the dz with John on the weekends. I figured I could either sit at home and feel sorry for myself or I could be at the dz with friends. The best medicine for me was seeing his smile after each jump. I think its great that you are encouraging your wife to do AFF with you and I wish you the best of luck. Susan Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
billvon 2,464 #43 January 5, 2002 >hmmmm, a couple of stories about parents, anyone else have problems with a spouse? Yep. I introduced Amy to BASE jumping, and for a few months there, my BASE rig was always being borrowed away and taken to places like Idaho. Then there was the extra CYPRES I had to buy for her, and the Triathalon that's on permanent loan to her since she outgrew her Fury, and the Sabre that's on loan to her since she blew up the Triathalon . . .I swear, it's like skydiving's gotten twice as expensive. Of course, if I ever do break my leg landing, it's nice to have an orthopod right there.-bill von Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skydiver51 0 #44 January 5, 2002 I know all too well what it's like to be married to someone who doesn't want you to jump. I first started jumping in 1972 while in the service ( sport jumping ). I made 67 jumps in the service and one after getting married after I got out. Soon after that my wife said I needed more life insurance but no company would take me if I continued jumping so I quit. Well i was never encouraged to jump again even tho the insurance thru my job didn't exclude skydiving. After 23 years we divorced ( not because of me wanting to jump again ) and within 6 months I was jumping again. I am now married to a wonderful woman who ( even tho she doesn't jump ) likes to be at the DZ every bit as much as I do. I quit jumping after Quincy last year because we now have a grandbaby. The time and money can be better spent on them instead of jumping but me wife wouldn't go for that. She said we have plenty of money and we see the kids regulary and the only reason I quit was because I was scared to jump. Gotta love a woman like that!!!! So I am getting my reserve repacked and will be jumping my ass off again within the week. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
