Wife Acceptance Factor

It's real easy to tell which of you posters are not married.

Snofun3 summed it real good.

LOL - Love is grand, divorce is 100 grand.

This poster is married!

THIS IS A GREAT POST!!
There is nothing I like better than "misery loves company" types of issues. Firecracker, mark my words; There will come a day when compromise will be the topic and the wife will question your sense of reality regarding your audio sickness. I had 14 years of bliss never having to discuss a purchase or look for approval when purchasing that $10,000 amp...then came the kids! Now it's a different world (as it should be) and the questions, dis-approving looks and the dreaded, "what in the he!! do you need THAT for?" is common place.
My suggestion is, ride the wave as long as possible while working your butt off to get a better job to justify the expense of new equipment and a new house with a room dedicated to your system.
Much of this is "tongue in cheek" but there WILL be questions eventually...be prepared ahead of time!

Stop pretending your Mr. wonderful and let her know that your NUT'S right from the begining. It's only fair, for the both of you. Audio is great, your home with her, alot of women would love to be so lucky.

McGrogan - You got away for $100grand. Consider yourself lucky. Plus I pay over $2k / month for the kids alone, not counting all the stuff I buy for them out of my pocket - Firecracker - see what I said before - get a dog (they're smarter and better looking than teenage boys anyways).

Why is divorce so expensive? Because it's worth it.
