Hey Ranger Dad,
You crack me up. Nothing quite like a woman with a little spunk though. It took a while but I managed to "break" mine. You just have to dig those spurs in a little deeper. She talks to me on her hands and knees now! I can almost hear her......"get out from underneath that bed you coward and fight like a man".........

RangerDad
Explain it to her this way.
Son and I are going to a very remote lake to meet some people we met on the internet.  So we will not be alone.

Don't ASK, tell her your going! Assuming your a good husband/provider and not depriving your loved ones by spending money on a trip that will make father and son memories for a lifetime, then you have every right to a GUILTLESS trip!
 The first step to growing a pair is taking charge of the relationship dynamic. If you don't want too do it for yourself, then think of your son  Being P-Whipped is no way for a man to go thru life

Just remember to duck and weave while asserting your new found assertiveness. Who knows, she may find herself surprisingly delighted by your newly found " kahunas "  

If you can't get past your wife how do you expect to get through a half mile of possible hell to stumpy's lake? She must be some woman.
