Since MPers LOVE giving advice about wimminz and climbing!

Tell her you're leaving for the whole weekend, leave butt-early and project all day (how long is the drive?). If you don't send day one, wake up butt-early the next day and do a few tries (extra pressure to succeed too), but leave early to surprise her when you come home early.

Done and done.

Hey bra, she's the one with the obligation not you. I would go climbing, not into sport climbing personally and nothing agaist it either. If she gets her panties in a bunch, tell her what's up and don't back down. Your the one with the kick-ass job and prolly gonna do the summer gig SOLO if she starts actin' up.

This should do the trick.

it pains me to see that you are the only one to support my case.

OP - Nice troll. Thanks for indulging our proclivity to offer advice on things we know little 'bout, like your relationship. You deserve all the johnL you get. And that's some funny shizzle. I laughed until I stopped.

Thanks johnL.

johnL: I feel like starting the best thread ever just for your sense of humor.

camhead: climb one day, have dinner and few bottles of wine ready for when your wife gets off work the next...it's not either or, make it both.

DAMN RIGHT. I've seen too many good men ruined by women. You gotta stand your ground, do what you want to do. If she gets all jacked outta shape, hey, ces't la vie.

Oh, yeah. Booze usually takes the edge off as well.

This thread is ripe for a game of "spot the single climber"

You have a really good gig going on that most guys would kill for. If both of you end up sending the thing without each other, then it's just a normal project. It will be far more rewarding to do it together and then move on to the next one. Even if it has to wait a few months it will still be there just as challenging as ever. Sure you might be able to send it this weekend, but it will be fun for what, a day? A week if you're really psyched? The build-up to sending it is way more exciting than the formality of sending.

yeah, that key will still work.

not gonna lie, I think it's funnier that MP is just now hearing this.

Imho youshould go climbing. Your wife is a climber she will understand. She has the obligation, not you. Just be humble when you sent your project so she does not feel too bad and left out

You can always send it just after sunrise in the future. Lose 5 pounds and it will offset the humidity. Maybe use a little liquid chalk too.

Easily the best post in a long, long time.

Regarding the OP though, go out and climb. If your woman is working then why should you waste your weekend just hanging around? Sure, you may get to spend some time with her, but can't you do that for the other 20 days or so after this weekend? Especially if you're going to be apart for 2 months, you have to be ok with doing fun things without each other. Are you going to sit at home and skype with your woman for the 2 months you're in Utah, or are you going to be out all the time enjoying it? Do you think she won't be out climbing on the weekends when you're gone, too? What happens when you leave and she sends her own project? And she said she's cool with it. If she's not cool with it, that's her own dumb fault. The only reason some women play head games all the time is because they're with some dunce who gives in to it.

I've been married for 2.5 years, been with her for more than 5 years, happy as can be, and our relationship grows better every day. Probably 16 months of that time was spent long distance, too. Just putting that out there before somebody says "you can spot the single guys".

I do agree with some of the others though: if you go, do something special to make it up to her. It sounds like she's a keeper.

Admins: Pretty pretty please leave that post up. I laugh this hard maybe twice a month.

Also...what Crag Dweller said.

In my experience, people mostly ask for advice when they know what they need to do and don't like the answer. This seems like one of those situations.

If you're not leaving for another three weeks, there's plenty of time to be together and have fun before you leave. I'd go on the trip, but also be considerate of her and her feelings when you come back.

Mods, the JohnL post should be removed. It may be funny, but it's also crass. It also doesn't relate at all to the original post.

Pretty sure the photo of Mono's that you pulled is a different route, 2? to the left if I'm not mistaken. Does not mean that he isn't hiding pick of your's somewhere private for his own enjoyment.
