I've been married 54+ years, successfully.
Successful, because we both have learned to give and take. If I needed to go hunting, my wife would more than likely not question it. On the other hand, if she said today is not a good time to go hunting, I would also respect that.
I also know there's a Christmas schedule in my family, and I would not plan a hunt on a day that we had other plans.
What works for me may not work for others.

Well, I am not doing anything until after new years. I just had my last dental appointment last week. If you get a kill, does she help eat it? If she does, she shouldn’t have a problem with it IMHO. But that is between you all.
Luckily my wife has never tried to stop me from doing anything or tried to stifle my freedom in any way. She even gave me some money to buy myself a few extra guns before March. But, being disabled, I am home almost 24/7 anyway.
Medical appointments and a few trips to the range when I can manage it throughout the year are pretty much the extent of me being somewhere other than home, that and visiting my elderly mother less than a mile up the road on the adjacent street.
My wife is disabled too. So when I go to check in on my mom I am also picking up my wife’s prescriptions or buying her a Hershey bar from our neighborhood Dairy Mart before I return home. We barely drive 100 miles a month together.
My wife is going to Cottage Grove on Christmas Day to see her family and I am staying with mom and cooking dinner for her. Don’t know if my wife is going to eat with her family or not. But, if she doesn’t, I can whip her up a steak when she gets back. Just gotta be flexible until Christmas is over.

But in fairness and honesty, there's not much chance I'm gonna go hunting any time soon. I'm a big talker. A walk thru the woods is not what it used to be.
