... At the end of the day I showed her the danger statistics compared to other activities and just said that I'm going on my dives. My slight compromise is to bring a friend who has been an active diver for the past 5 years. She is going to be in her quiet mood for a few days but that really isn't the worst thing.
Ignored???? You have no clue what happiness is, IF you think living under someone's thumb is a life... I've never seen a couple that follows the simple rules of a happy spouse makes a happy marriage... And I'll leave all you poor suckers that only wish they had a life to bitch about your other half...... BYE...

I hear ya. Coming fall, I've been in the same relationship for thirty years, and next year we'll (probably ) be celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary. She's an intelligent and educated woman, with a demanding job, and that makes her both strong and opinionated. I won't say I'm under any thumb, though, I've got an education and a job myself, we regard each other as equals and we are both very aware that mutual respect and understanding is vital for a successful long-term relationship. I use to tell kids these days that one of the big secrets of keeping a relationship is to pick your battles carefully. If a thing really doesn't matter that much to you, it's a smart thing to let it pass.Relationships work best when partners are equals (equal power, equal rights, equal responsibilities) but it's not an easy thing for most people to achieve.
