+lcandela123 Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 Two weeks ago, I introduced my sister and her husband to the joys of geocaching. He's already up to 73 finds! Have I created a geocache widow? Actually, I think sis is joining in the fun, but was wondering if such a thing exists as a geocache widow. Quote Link to comment
GOF and Bacall Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 This question has been asked before. Caching Widows - Groundspeak Forums It makes be wounder. Does it go both ways? Are there any husbands out there wondering if their wives are gonna be out all day caching? Who think they've been replaced with an ammo can. Do you feel the only way to get your wife's attention is to strap on a travel bug tag? Quote Link to comment

+The VanDucks Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 I hope there are no geocache widows (although I suspect there are some!) It's such a great hobby for both men and women, and each one can get different types of enjoyment from it. In our husband/wife team, HE likes the technical aspects, buys the various electronic devices, and does all the loading up of caches on the GPS and Blackberry; SHE reads up on the caches and decides which ones to attempt. HE reaches up for the high ones, or for the ones hidden in Poison Ivy or scary holes; SHE writes up all the logs and chooses the swag and trade items to leave behind. BOTH love the outdoors, the adventure and fun of travelling to new places, the time spent together and memories WE share! Quote Link to comment

There are many geocaching widows and geocaching widowers as well Geocaching is no different from other activities like golf, shopping, fishing, watching sports, etc. where one spouse may be really into it and the other isn't.

Skippermark Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Around here there are quite a few geocache widowers. At big, weekend long events, the husbands stay down with some of the widows and play with the kids, help cook the food and other stuff while their wives are out climbing the side of a mountain in search of extreme caches. Geocaching is addicting to both men and woman alike. Quote Link to comment
+geodarts Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 My spouse thinks I am obsessed but will often put up with me and sometimes admits caching can bring you to nice places, but as one famous cacher has observed, you can sometimes hear the Whine of the Non-Geocaching Spouse. And then there are the "I would have loved to have gotten home earlier but you know how obsessed [insert appropriate name here] can be about finding one more cache" discussions. Quote Link to comment
+vegaschick Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 My boyfriend and I broke up almost two years ago because he felt I spent too much time caching. We got back together almost a year ago under the condition that he would NEVER, EVER complain that I cached too much again. We've gotten along find since then and he even caches with me more now than he did then! Besides, I call it even. He sits in front of the daggone television watching football 3-4 nights a week and Nascar. At least with my hobby, I get out of the house! Quote Link to comment
+abbybeth Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 I dare say that not only has my husband become a widower, but my child is now comes from a single parent household And the scout troop? They won't even consider letting me BRING the GPSr with me to any functions we have/go to. I think they're scared I'll make them go out again. It's not like I made them do a dozen caches on their first afternoon out. It was only 7. Quote Link to comment

+Chrysalides Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 Freud was a cross dresser? Wouldn't have surprised me if he were. We're talking about someone who (according to Wikipedia) prescribed cocaine to a friend to help him overcome a morphine addiction. Quote Link to comment
