My wife is too much of a city girl

I love her but when we go out to do stuff it kind of gets on my nerves. I grew up in the country I like to do country things. The other day I was asking her to undo the rope to my boat and walk it back just alittle bit into the water. She was trying to step on the rocks that were going out of the water so her feet didnt have to touch only 3 inches of water (shes in flip flops). Then we go on a small island me and my kid get out and we are having fun knee-deep in mud and shes standing back there like nooo its nasty I dont wanna go near it. Then we were leaving and she couldnt even figure out how to push the boat off with the paddle. Then I asked her to hookup the rope so I can get the boat back in the trailer and shes over there looking at her nails like she broke one.

I have to pull the boat out of the water, do the anchor, tie the knots, steer the boat. She cant even back a car in a car spot much less a trailer. She complains when me and my son go in the woods. She doesnt like to do anything outdoors. She cant mow a lawn, much less pullstart a mower. Cant drive a stickshift, doubt she could learn to drive a motorcycle.Thank god she can atleast shoot good but thats about it.

    Throwing her straight into this sort of environment when she’s not used to it is probably overwhelming for her, try easing her into it slowly, most people can learn to love the outdoors. Knee deep mud isn’t everyone’s thing but in time she will see the appeal of the nature in the woods and cool river water round her ankles, be patient with her.

    It’s a bit unreasonable to expect her to be able to drive a boat and shift stick with no experience, again patience is a virtue.

    I guess you are learning about the warning: Beware of getting what you wished for.

    Very few people consider all aspects of what they want in a spouse... and then find that they have to adjust to each other, or it does not work out.

    You do need to ease her into country things... and she may never appreciate much of it. You also need to let her take you to the city and do city things...

    I wish you well with this,

      My thoughts exactly! There must have been something she did right or good.

      I agree with ease her into it, however if you have a son,(and he's hers) old enough to be walking in the woods and wadding in the water and mud then maybe you waited too long to show your true self.

      You should have seen these issues before you were even married or at least in the first few months to a year.

    Well you selected wrong when it came to your choice environments. I hate city living. Wadding through mud for me is avoidable but nothing a garden hose cant fix. I dont see the inherent dangers of getting wet especially when you are near the water, itll dry, take the phone out of your pocket and place it in a dry place. Simple stuff.
