Hunting/fishing for our food then cooking and eating them

Getting a little wet from the rain without her going into a panic about how were are going to get sick because of a few drops

Real "extreme" activities such as as skydiving. Twice when I was younger, I was invited by my coworkers to take part in their weekend skydiving group. Twice, the wife was vehemently against it to the point she would have made my life a living hell if I disobeyed her.

Expand the above to include her friends who were almost always Filipinas and like-minded. We became members of the local Fil-Am groups at places we lived at. Same story. All the activities are pretty mundane. We can't even get them to do river-boating:



If it's just me, forget it. If several of us hubbies went out as a group, we're allowed. But, none of the wives would come with us. They'd spend their time doing pot lucks while we were gone.

We spent six years in Upstate New York which is an outdoors paradise. Did we take advantage of it? Nope. I'm more than game. But, the wife always played the part of spoiler. Unfortunately, she's setting a bad precedent for the kids who are becoming more like her. They rather go to the mall than spend time camping and enjoying the outdoors.
Maybe she chooses to be a homemaker instead of going out, i have friends whos wives chooses to come with us, sometimes even besting the husband, about the 9-5 thing, here in the P.I, Its the women that creates what we call extra income, they became entrepreneurs, i dealt with some good ones to the point where their husbands had to quit their jobs to help in their growing bussiness, a good wife is the one that lets you think youre superior so our egos wont get hurt, but in truth they know better, thats why we call them our better half
