I have been back in training for a number of years now. My wife has only been to one tournament of mine back in 2007. She tried doing the m.a. but hated the workout........she would rather take a pill and learn what needs to be learned. Likewise, she has been the biggest antagonist about my training. Similar to you Walshy, there is always an under current of resentment from her when I am happy to go, or return happy. I always blast her with the same thing........"What the hell is the problem?? I am not doing anything wrong, anything to hurt our relationship, I am not gambling, drinking or doing drugs.....and I aint chasing any skirts!!!" Then I will follow it up with..."I hope it is not a control thing, because I thought I left that one." this is always followed by 2 - 3 days of ice and frigid hellos. But man let me tell you something when she wants to tell someone how it is or engage a nasty side of herself.....she loves the security of me being there!!!
I have trained at various dojos with her, (at a premium cost and waste of money!!) helped instruct her daughter, been to every tournament and belt grading her daughter was in as well as my sons.....invited her repeatedly to train with me or come see a tournament always to be snubbed.
I have come to the conclusion that she is jealous and/or envious of me doing it as she does nothing other then shop, work, home chores and spend money on her daughters.......her hobby is crying over lost and abused dogs......and sending money for that. So there is a rather large moon she gets to kiss when I go train.......but I wouldnt stop loving her for all of her awesome traits and loving gestures away from the Martial Arts!!
Osu!!
