Well, the good thing is that hunting season only comes once a year...I think, I am not really up on the hunting laws. I come from the country so I understand the drive and determination some men (and some women) have for hunting. It seems to take over their life this time of the year. It was very supportive of you to get up and see him off this morning. I hope he shows his appreciation of your efforts. But, hunting season or not, him taking his anger out on you is not healthy for you or your relationship. Please don't call yourself a jerk--you seem completely rational to me. Taking care of and supporting your husband is important, but not at the expense of your own mental health. Maybe when hunting season is over and he has had time to calm down, you two can have a talk about some of these issues. But, of course, if he becomes abusive, you may not be able to wait until the end of hunting season. Sorry that this post sounds like I am offering advice. I was married to a man who was a hunter, so I understand what it is like to be "the wife." I don't know about you, but my goal was to just make it through hunting season...I indulged my husband and gave him extra room to do what he needed to do, but he was never abusive towards me--just a little on the grouchy side for a while.
