Why did I get married?

My wife (married 34 years) doesn't mind very loud music (NO, you cannot have her - she's mine) but have some issues with certain music I listen to (contemporary/modern, Indian Classical, progressive jazz etc.). I try to avoid music that makes her nervous (I play it when alone).

Q: Why do men die before their wives? A: They want to!

99,


Bad answer.

It's refreshing to read the mature and loving husbands (buck280 response)that have love/respect for their wives.

Jr in minor key.

I agree with Tvad, Glory, and 280. Also with the suggestions of headphones. I usually listen with speakers either with my wife or when she is not at home. If my listening would interfere with something else she is doing, I use headphones (Stax electrostatics, which I invested in particularly for that purpose).

Does that mean that I end up listening via speakers less often than I would ideally like to? Certainly, but I'm cool with that.

Glory- My condolences on the loss of your sense of humor.
