It's been a while I had a relationship. Currently I attached and I love him very much. I was shocked when my bf told me that he wants to take up the AFF license (Sky diving) 2 days ago. I mean isn't that too extreme? I can't barely accept it if he falls to death.

Why guys like to do things which harm girls feeling? I try to stop his but he told me "If I love him, please let me do it" I was like WTF

I need help. Is your bf has this kind of hobbies which worry you to dead?

it worries me more if my gf goes to beauty centre and saloon which produce whooping bills to pay.

whoa, how much is that license. Sounds awesome.

Almost 12K but divided into 9 stages

Woo skydiving! I drag my bf to go skydiving with me a few years back. Would do the license if I had extra money to spend.

Nothing is 100% safe in life. If he enjoys it, why not?
Do you think he is any much safer driving on the roads? Everything we do in life has its own risks. Yes you can argue that the risks are higher with skydiving, but we are taught all the safety precautions and if he is responsible enough, he will value his life more than anything. Don't see how is it harming you in anyway. If anything, I see you are being overprotective of him.

Just like how scuba diving is safer than snorkeling sometimes.

i can understand how you feel. my boyfriend is into extreme motor sports and he was involved in an accident last year (broken rib bones and other internal injuries). but he's ok now

i'm not trying to freak you out but if you really think about it, whatever you do, there's always a risk. even staying at home, there's the risk of fire, burglary, etc etc.

as long as he takes the safety precaution seriously, he can minimal risk of injuries. i know i cant tell you to not to be worry at all, if this is something he's passionate about, just be by his side and support him

oh, and another, humans are afraid of the unknown. i may be wrong, i think you're worried because of the way the sport is, or maybe from the news you heard / read about. why dont, you give it a try. go with an experienced trainer / instructor. who knows, you might even like the sports..hehe

Guys (not all) enjoice doing extreme activities..me included....its just how we are made..

keep an open mind....

who knows mayb in future he can have a career in sky diving...

i hv a friend who is a diver, and now he is the dive team manager at a resort across the causeway...
if he didn't purse diving as a hobby initially, he would not hv nail this job...

if u r so worry, then dun drive too...the roads r dangerous...i think more ppl die on the roads compare to sky-diving...

my girlfriend likes to go out, for shopping, movies, eating and its making me very worried.
i mean, the outside world is a very dangerous place, everyday you read about rape, molest, sodomy, robbery, snatch thief, murder. i prefer her to just stay home when i'm not there with her.
i ask her to stop but she said i'm killing her freedom. why she doesn't understand that she is very selfish to make me worry like that?

u hv to worries if his hobby is collecting teddy bears..people dies everyday..

If my bf do so, is I worry the cost more lol

I think you are not actually love your boyfriend.

You are actually thinking you OWNING your boyfriend.
Is your property now.

Admit it, not only girls, men as well. They own their couple, not love.

It's freedom to follow his passion. but unfortunately his passion lies with a dangerous sport? Many people refrain from doing things they like because of the significant other. Give and take I shall say. Good luck gal

I think just let him be, although you're worried it is best to do what he wants. Yes, it is dangerous but rather then prevent him from doing that and cause arguments/fight and all just make him promise he'll take all the safety precaution.

Just imagine if he prevent you to do something you really really want.. (reason like but my hobby is not dangerous and costly is not accepted..lol) what i want to say is look from his perspective

I understand exactly why you are so worried. Skydiving is a very dangerous sport. And that is a fact.

But...

Your bf is going about it the responsible way. He is going for proper training and he will be taught by the instructors how to be as safe as possible.

I think it will show great maturity on your part to support his dream. Perhaps one day you will need his support to fulfill yours. Love is about give and take in equal measures.

Good luck

he is adventurous. let him be. join him . it will be fun.

you wont die if you follow proper training.

its part of life, get adventurous or die trying to live a life.

This is very subjective. If my bf likes this kind of activities, I would be very happy to join him, cause it's really exciting.

I agree what KVReninem said, if he likes it, let him be.

This is him and if you love him, you should accpet this part of him too, not to change him.

Try to understand him instead of being paranoid.

The world is dangerous , go back to Mars . LOL

I think superbike , car racing and stuff are potentially more dangerous .
Falling from sky diving , how often do you heard that happen .

danger is everywhere. if we do by using the right technique, i guess 99% will safe. if accident still happen, then it's fate. you cannot avoid them though..

you go eat mamak also will have the possibility in getting rape....he doesnt give you go mamak you ok?
LOL just let him do what he wants lar..
