Why did I get married?

She loves the music. It's usually somthing like a head ache or she's tired because I kept her up with my snoring. Maybe I'm the one whining?

Nothing's wrong with whining, every now and then. But if your wife saw this thread, how would she react?

I am inexpert in the reasons people get (and stay!) married, but I agree with the posts above suggesting that the strain over music is likely proxy for the other issues. Maybe a discussion of music habits could lead into other needed discussion. Meantime, if she's seen the Dead 125 times, maybe you can buy her some of the live sets getting put out on Rhino. Some sound pretty good -- I'm currently enjoying Hartford 77 -- and might make for musical olive branches you both enjoy. :) Best of luck!!! :)

If I refereed to my wife as old lady,things could get a lot worse.She never was into sounds,but she listens with me in the stereo/tv room.I got a concert block on my floor.Of coarse I quit spending money there was an improvement .I,ve been blessed.Good Luck

Put your jacket on and tell her you are going to a bar. Suddenly, she may "enjoy the music".
