Girlfriends and wifes, how do YOU cope?

I try not to have them in the same room listening to audio!

I made a deal: either I spend money on a motorcycle (dangerous in her eyes) or audio. Now I don't have to sneak anything in at all.

My girlfriend loves the stuff, and to boot, she has supersensitive ears...one of the few who have hearing past what most do,,,

She is usually saying that she wants me to teach her about the stuff,,,and you know what else? She absolutely loves airshows and going to the shooting range,,,Now, how much is this woman worth? (she is a doctor,,me, a tennis coach with a useless grad degree in Biomechanics) oh, and loves animals...;-)

Hey Jsujo, great response. ther is a whole lot of 'ME' in this thread and a bit of 'us'. I tried to go for us in my above response, but I think you did quite well.

don't have either

used to have a wife - had to get petty upgrades slowly
but kept my cd habit - my money, my discs

had a girlfriend last year, she was an opera singer
noted how great my system was but not interested at all in any of my musical tastes

dumped opera singer

my hobby is so bad that the carpet needs replacing badly
but I just spent the bonus on a Nottingham spacedeck rig, phono stage, wall mount, etc.

how do you get them into this

two lessons

1) never let a gal dictate your passions and where you spend your money

2) play Van Morrison's Moondance while making love to her (wine, candles, etc), she'll gladly enjoy your hobby from that point out
