I just received the most wonderful message from a Hunter in
“I want to Thank you for this site. My wife is a hunting widow and she gets upset every time I go hunting. She doesn't voice her true feelings. I just have her kinetics to study and try and make things better. This site gives more insight about my wife's feelings. Keep up the good work!”
How many of us have done this exact thing to our husbands? Every time he leaves, every other time he leaves, once a year when we’re finally fed up with them leaving us time and again… Do we let it fester, or do let him know what’s on our mind? Do we let it grow into an “infection,” souring everything in our path of life? If it’s a constant source of grudge, resentment and revenge, this is going to ruin your spirit. Not one woman can live a healthy life while carrying around baggage like this. That proverbial monkey on your back can feel like an elephant in no time. You see red in everything that your Hunter does, in fact you think that his very existence’s goal is to spite you. Maybe this is a bit of a leap, but I’m pretty sure some of us have let our negative thoughts go this far. I know I have, so I’m talking out of experience!
That bitterness can be so magnified that you can taste it, and it is an awful flavor. Forgiveness and gentleness and kindness can rescue us from this downward spiral. And it has to sincerely start within you. You can’t wait for your Hunter to stay home because you’re ranting and raving and stewing about him leaving. Extend a piece of your humble spirit towards him, and you will be pleasantly surprised what you get back. This is easier said than done; I’ve been working on it for 8 years now, and I still feel like a novice. But the more I practice, the more I learn, and the easier and more natural it becomes. And you know what? My Hunter gives me more back, in return. And for that I am very Thankful!
