Have a H who hunts? Is so how do you deal with it?
It was always different before now because we were in school and then once we graduated we were engaged and planning a wedding. So ever since we have been together I have always had something to do during hunting season but this year I get so bored and tired of sitting at the house. My house is spotless I swear but I don't want to clean every weekend!
So what do you do when your H hunts? Or what are things I can do other than clean?
Re: Anyone else...
H doesn't hunt but his father does, his best friends do, his reletives do, and I marvel at FIL and MIL's relationship because she doesn't and they go spend all summer and then all hunting season at the cabin without electricity/heat (other then the fire of course).
I feel for you. MIL says the only way to stay married to a hunter is to have a hobby otherwise you go crazy. So she quilts and cross-stiches and does word puzzles all fall.

H works construction as well so you would think by now I would be used to it.
DH doesn't hunt, but my dad, brother, and all my uncles are very, very avid hunters. Honestly, it has caused issues in all of their marriages/relationships because they are gone so much in the fall. We used to joke with my brother that we would know when he found 'the one' because she'd make it past hunting season. My SIL told me before that she had to make a lot of plans, go on girls' trips, and make sure that she stayed really busy so that she didn't get resentful of all the time and money that he spent on hunting (but she still did/does sometimes). Now they have kids, so she's busy with them and he hunts a little bit less.
I would say, plan things with your friends, take up a hobby, and make sure that you stay busy and do things you really enjoy... find your passion!
H hunts.. a lot!
He usually goes REALLY early in the morning and is back by 10-11, so I don't have to really worry about getting anything done then.
He also has cut back quite a bit now that we are married, because he knows how important time together is for me.
So far, it hasn't been too bad!
Morning hunts are great because by the time he gets done I had time to shower and get dressed and all that good stuff. But the afternoon hunts are what I can't stand. Good thing is he only goes once a day but still I get tired of not being able to make plans to do stuff for us.
