ChileRelleno 0 #1 September 18, 2002 BOY IS THAT THE TRUTH!!! I've seen so many jumpers disappear because of this its not funny. My wife is a NON skydiver,not a Whuffo cause she knows why after seven (7) years of marriage.When we first started dating it was "WOW,he skydives,Coool," then it got serious and it was "why don't you stop,if we marry and you die...ect..." I told her "Look its over right here,you met,fell in love with and want to marry a skydiver....make up your mind....about a week later she came back and said "OK"...since then its been "you made your bed sleep in it" ...theres been some bad feelings and arguements from her but shes learned to live with it and accept that I"M A SKYDIVER,ITS MY PASSION,BUT SHE IS MY LOVE!

fasterfaller 0 #3 September 18, 2002 I have lost many jumping friends to the whuffo wife syndrome . They are not even allowed to speak to me now . I wanted to be married for a long time but am unwilling to give up anything for it . My philosophy the last few years has been if I get free milk then why buy a cow .

PhillyKev 0 #4 September 18, 2002 Guy I know was dating a girl when he broke his arm. She told him "That's it, no more skydiving for you." He was relating that story to another guy and followed it up with, "Oh well, I really liked her, too." He still jumps, and she came to WFFC with him.

WHAT about me?!!! You all fine people, take it from a man who's been there - It is probably wiser to pound into the ground without a flair than to date/marry/do some other stupid thing with a person who does not share your passions. Wuffos make excellent one night stands. Really great! But then on Friday comes the ceremonial question: "So honey what are we doing over the weekend?" Call me an asshole (Muff, Muff, Muff) but my response is:"Well I don't know about you, but I will be at the DZ" This usually ends the relationship. The fact is that if the relationship lead to this question, it obviously lasted too longjraf Me Jungleman! Me have large Babalui.
