after 9 months of dating the girl of my dreams she gave me the one ultimatum you never give a snow lover. "me or snowmobling" :confused: i never would have thought it would have been like this but she surprised me by not understanding a simple concept. i tried to explain to her that snowmobilers on average dont plan trips weeks in advanced. when the snow hits hard we hit the road. she apparently didnt listen when i told her this over the summer, anyway she told me that i was "allowed" to go riding with two weeks notice and only 4 times during the winter. :lol: well i told her that she was "allowed" to watch me walk out the door. so now i am back at home with my parents. a little weird but my mother laughed when she heard the story saying that she knew i would never give up my love for a fast sled and fresh powder. hope you enjoyed my sad story, hahaha

I feel for you man. I had a similar situation just recently, and long story short, I'm single once more.
It's really too bad most women don't get the thrill of snowmobiles. THére'd be alot more happy couples out there if they did.

Well Newfie......I DOO get the thrill.... My ultimatum is....." you go without me and look out".. hehe Just kidding of course.

Ultimatums are really a way to control someone.....and that to me is just shallow. Eventually a person will have a grudge even if they do what the other one wants to save the peace. It will eventually end up with some bad feelings. Sorry to hear that your girl didn't want to get into this sport PB ......she is really missing out on some fun !

I have an idea........Tell her that snowmobilers DOO it till it melts... :lmao: I'm kidding PB...I'm just trying to make you feel better. Maybe she will come around after she sees just how much you love this sport. If not, well she made a bad decision and will probably see that some day.

THINK SNOW !

Ultimatums are no way to solve relationship problems. You did the right thing.

obviously she wasnt the right girl for you. i have been dating the same girl for over 3 yrs now. we got engadged this past fall. she new that when we started going out that i was into snowmobiling, and i was up front with her. basically when u have 10,000 $ invested in a sled its just down right stupid to not use it and let someone that u may have known for a couples yrs or months take away something you have done all of your life. which is my case. ues she gets mad sometimes when i leave for a whole saturday, but she gets over it because she knows its what i live for and i can only ride for maybe 4 months out of 12.

wow i have 2 friends this year in the same position. first one met a new girl now we here no sledding at his cottage this year girlfriend is not letting him go alone with the boys. :bash:

2nd buddy meet a new girl. now he,s saying he cant afford to go .BUT HE DID BUY A PERMIT and the way he was talking i think its sledding instead of his girl.

i have a very understanding girl but it gets expensive i have to give her little comps like HERE HONEY I,M GOING SLEDDING HERE IS SOME MONEY GO TO THE CASINO,SPA,CONCERT,.so sledding gets to be a very expensive for me.lol

She's trying to be in total control. Do not submit. She has no right to give an ultimatum like that. You are supposed to work things out together, not just doo what she thinks you should do. It works both ways. My wife loves to ride and is with me most of the time, but it wasn't always that way. I the years that she didn't ride with me, she never once made a comment about whether I should go or not. She knew I loved the sport and she loved me enough that she would not take that away from me. This year will be our 20th. Nuf Sed.

sorry to hear PB, but everyone else is right. you did the right thing.

It takes time to find the right one, but you will know it when you do. She obviously wasn't the one.

PB, I wouldn't loose too much sleep over that deal. When I met mine, we dated for a couple of years and I knew she was for me when I busted a few ribs and tore some ligaments crashing my sportbike late one night and she came right down and picked me up from the hospital. We are now married and expecting our first baby..............and get this.....she doesn't want me to sell any of my bikes,sleds, or any other of my toys.
What a catch eh? and I don't have to live in a city either!

PB, you were living in sin already?!?!?! w00t Seriously, sorry to hear things didn't work out, but better now than later. Snowmobiling is one of the first things I told my wife about when we got serious with each other. Any woman that tells a man when he's "allowed" to go sledding, just doesn't belong in the picture. Enjoy the winter, and good luck on finding the next Mrs. PB!!!

Bummer dude!!! When I first met my wife, I informed her that I would always be a sledder! I bought her and Old Sled and let her try it out herself, at her speed. She loved it and there never are ultimatums, we go on a couple of family trips a year and I go an a bunch of "guy" Trips each season. No problem!

She only starts to groan a little if I still going in late march, which doesn't happen often coming from Chicago!

I'd have to say she wasn't for you as she wouldn't accept you as you are.

If some woman told me to give up the sleds and the time spent following my other hobbies, I'd say fine, but your not gonna like me when I become who you think I should be in your eyes. I'd become the most miserable guy they ever met.

All the past is what makes us what we are today. If they can't accept that, just do as I do. Say "Next???"

Wow, an ultimatum, haven't heard one of those in over twenty years :D
Not sure to offer you condolenses or not as it's sure better to find out now rather than when you have to get the lawyers involved and not only does she not want you to sled but SHE wants the sled as well.
Happy Trails, and don't look back. I'm a firm believer that everything happens for the best! :christmas:

PB, sorry about your relationship, that sucks.
I am venturing to guess that she was a 19, 20, 21, 22 ish year old, in MY past, they have always been the bossiest and most controlling in those years. Once they get over 30ish they get MUCH easier to live with!
Maybe she will come to her senses, but if she is not into motorsports at all you may be better off without her.
I married my wife because she fully supports my love for anything with a steering wheel or handlebars. In fact we got some snow this weekend, I did 400 miles in 2 days (in s.w. lower MI, that is epic miles) and her response to me was "all you did was bit$# all summer about the heat, you better get your a$$ on your sled an ride, this is what you asked for, you better make use of it!!"
She also enjoys riding with me and always enjoys trips up north, but she doesn't like the cold and it is not an obsession for her. I may do 2500 or 3000 miles in a season, she will come along and ride for 1000 of those miles.
Find the right girl, do not try and change a girl into what you want, it never works.

Wow... What a dilema... Hmmm. sled , or girlfriend?... Answer , Look for a new girlfriend that has a double wide enclosed sled trailler, with a sled in it, in her driveway . lol . They are out there , and single . I would resort to one of those singles matching services , Make sure you note . Own A Sled , in the looking for this personallity section . Lol. Good luck , and happy hunting you made the best chose given the situation , I made the mistake of marrage to a control monger woman . I suffered for three years , before I came to my senses . lol.

Sorry to hear about your situation. I'm quite lucky, my girlfriend loves to sled, and I think she gets jealous if I ride without her. I took her on her first trip 5 years ago, and got her a rental Phazer. She loved it, we came back and snow checked two vipers. She does well, and my cousin's wife goes and the women keep up with us.

I guess I'm quite lucky, but am sorry to hear about your situation. Maybe a saying like this I saw on a cooler cup will help you out....


I got this snowmobile for my girlfriend.......................


Good Trade!!! :lmao:

Have a great time riding this season, and happy hunting.

If I had a woman say that to me....She better not be there when I get back.... :crazy:

Your waaaaaay better off without her!

I'm still trying to find a woman like my mom (now that sounds sick!). She can outride about all of my friends and her boyfriend used to wine how she would MAKE him ride at least 4 times a week. Not bad for a 60 year old!

BTW...I give my buddies LOADS of crap about getting beat by a chick on a phazer!!!

Your right...I did! Ooops.... :lookaround:

Wrong girl. The right one will encourage you to pursue your hobbies and you hers. You will both take pleasure in each others happiness.

and this is the girl of your dreams?

dump her unless you look like a troll. hot chicks are a dime a dozen. a good weekend riding with your buddies are rare and precious.

ps - hot chicks are high maintenance. get your self an average looking chick thats good in the sack and can cook and you will be happy forever!!! :thumbsup:

actually average looking, and average in the sack. as long as she is cool with you riding all the time!!

even with the availability of the fleshlight the mouthy ones don't know when to shut it. :dazed:

:cussing: Sorry about your situation. The first priority is to ask someone you meet how they feel about hunting,fishing,atv"n,sledding,camping.etc. etc. etc. If they are into any of the above you can expect some nice Christmas presents. If they aren"t they"ll expect you to dump all your friends, sell all your toys to buy them this and that. Nip it in the bud! Save time and money :devil:

WORDS OF WISDOM FROM THE FISHY.
WE'RE ALL ON YOUR SIDE P.B.=THE NEXT WOMAN WILL BE BETTER.
I'D GIVE YOU A DRINK NOW,BUT THE BAR IS CLOSED.SORRY. :cussing: :wink:

You did the right thing, just remember sled won't just decide one day to up and leave, and when you get sick of it you can sell it and get some money. Of course yesterday i met this really nice girl that is smoking hot so if it works out maybe my sled will be sitting. :inlove:

PAUL=HELP ME OUT HERE.
PLEASE DESCRIBE A ==FLESHLIGHT==........... :lmao:

Sure glad I have a wife that Loves to ride with me on her sled. :D

OMG, I'm LMFAO

the truth? :wink:

:whistling:

i think now that she knows there is no thinking in your decision she will straighten up real fast and come around.

you made the right choice as everyone else has said, my girlfriend doesnt want her own sled to ride but wants to ride with me. I'm having a bit of a problem with the concept of getting rid of my zert and going to a two up so I have to come up with a way to afford a second sled. She really enjoys riding so I trying hard. We also ride bike in the summer but that she likes to ride by herself. I'm in a win win situation. It's all good.

I did the same thing about 13 years ago.. she said i loved my sled too much and it was just an excuse to go out and drink with the guys! I said yeah your right... Bye Bye! I dont drink more that a beer while riding anymore and my wife of 10 years like riding her own sled but knows when to back off giving me hell over going out on the sled.....

Boy am I lucky. My wife and I have been married for 36 years and we have our own Motorcycles, Snowmobiles and 4 wheelers. She loves the outdoor as much as I do and likes riding her own machine. She also spoils the heck out of me.......... :devil:

BOONDOCK, you have any daughters??????????


PB man she sure made that easy for you......Be thankful you had such an easy way out. I bet if you ever tried to not "allow" her to go out with her friends she would blow up in your face.......we all have dated those kinds, always seems like you want to be with them, but the more time that goes by the more you realize they suck, and life is much better with out them.

Went for my first ride on my new machine yesterday and if I had a chick that said that I would be walking out the door grinning ear to ear with the middle finger waving. No contest there...


and paul, that is sooooooooooooooooooooooo not right. Question is, does it light up? Actually I dont want to know :blahblah:

GOOD for you.
1 word to decribe this point in your life NEXT!!!!!!!

Boondock, I'm in the same boat as you. My wife absolutely loves the outdoors. She has her own fourwheeler and snowmobile, both brand new and SHE pays for her own. I am in heaven here. She is great I do about 95% of my riding with her. We do an average of 4000 miles a year. :inlove:

Good for you PB....send her a-- packin!!!!!!

Had an EX-wife like that!!! Notice I said EX........ she still tries to interfere with the things I live for. We have joint custody of an 8 year old and she think's it's real funny when whe mysteriously gets sick the day before I am supposed to leave for a snowmobiling or hunting trip when I don't have Hunter. Ofcourse I like the extra time with him so that is a plus..... last year she ruined a 3 day weekend in the UP that way. then she wanted to pick him up the day after I was supposed to leave....She got the big FU on that one. He stayed with me the whole weekend and enjoyed the time together.......

Just remeber this saying....."Bro's before ho's"!!!!! :D

No offense intended!!

ultimatum? allowed? who the hell does that female think she is, your mommy?
DUMP and RUN, DUMP and RUN>>>>>>>>>>>>

sounds like not the girl for you. first priority when looking for a honey for keeps. when you say the word sled she gets a sparkle in her eye.
