Sheepishly I had to admit that in the rush to do chores and homework with the boys I had not completely dressed when getting ready to go. I can make excuses, but they all sound lame. Anyway, after I admitted that I was under prepared she said, "Well, I don't feel very loved."

One, I loved her perspective. And two, I love her support. I feel fortunate. She will only shoot the .22 and ins't an active shooter. Her home defense is a big can of bear spray. BUT as I said, love her support.

My wife will never carry.
I respect her wishes.
She laughs at me sometimes.
I don't care.
Deep down she likes it. (laughing at me and that I don't f around)
She supports everything I do related to guns, even though she doesn't care.
She knows I have a "gun" account.
She knows I spend more than I should on gun "stuff".
She supports my gun related business.
We talk daily on biz issues, planning, advertising, and She supports the biz.
I have an ammo jar next to the change jar on the dryer and she sorts.
I talked her into buying land to have a private range.
She loves the land, just doesn't want me to shoot anything on it.
She loves bacon wrapped dove with jalapenos.
She loves venison fried steak.
I love my wife.

I didn't see that on the poll. :)

Try the one that says "ambivalent"

My wife is happy that I carry and supports me in that.

I thought about that, because it's the closest thing, but that's not what the word "ambivalent" means. Ambivalent means being conflicted on a subject or having contradicting convictions or opinions on a specific subject or person, for example: my wife is happy that I carry, because I can defend my family and myself, but she is also very worried that someone might hurt me with my own gun.
