@justmetoo I in no way doubt your experience. I'm sure that what you suggest applies to many. But there are a good number of others where the reason lies somewhere else.
I have Fridays off so my routine is to bike, clean the house from top to bottom, do the yard work. So when my wife comes home on Friday we are set for on open weekend to relax. I will spend a good number of hours listening to music. She will spend her time with reading or some other interest. So it is not that she feels compelled that she has to be doing some ingrained expectation as you have experienced. And, yes, I often play music SHE likes, but to no avail. We have enjoyed many broadway productions live together. But she is a no-show in the audio room.
Now there are obviously many woman that love music. But a smaller percentage seem to be into the experience of listening intently to reproduced music. In the end, I'm sure the reasons are many and varied.
