only if you let it. ive been going out with the same gf for over 2 years, and to be honest the only time she ever got mad when i went skiing is when i get hurt, or she finds out ( by one of my snich friends ha) that i wasnt wearing a helmet . main thing that has kept us together is she respects my passion and i respect hers ( working out everyday, doing figure/ bikini competitions etc) so she def has the understanding to get the fact that if its a good day , theres a good chance ima go skiing, but she knows i will always make time for her later, and like i said, she has hobbies, and work etc , so she not the kind of girl to sit around al day and wait for me to get back etc. thats the main thing in my opinion, just accepting that everyone has different passions , and they need to go out and do them, simple as that , i guess i may just be lucky, but i ski a shitload and my gf has never skiied ( never wanted to ) and weve been together for 2 yrs , so ya just keep it cool and respectfull.
