how many have a WAF?

Been married for 21 years, mostly good, some not so good. 2 kids, 2dogs. I have a dedicated 2 channel room she has no interest in, however she does enjoy music. We have home theater in the family room, wife and kids enjoy this.
She has come to accept the fact that I am going to spend money on music and equipment. Acceptance has not been easy, but now she generally leaves me alone about it. Often the equipment is smuggled into the house, (all those black boxes look the same right?).
She is a keeper, no since in changing now. As they say if you're going to deal with the devil, might as well deal with the devil you know.
Cheers :>)

Hey, Tim.. with all of this great input, you fillin' out yer personal ad on AOL yet? and HEY... what's this with just addressing the men here? yeah, I know that there aren't many of us "girls", but HEY :)

Although i'm not married, my situation is very similar to Craig's. We both keep our finances separately but pay jointly towards all common expenses. Since this gives us each a relatively good amount of financial freedom, who buys what with who's money never comes into question.

As to "acceptance factors" and making each other happy, i basically leave all of the interior decorating to her and she leaves all of the audio / video component selection and placement to me. After all, fair is fair : ) Sean

Aj- Most humble appologize!!! How could I forget the handful of ladies that visit us here :)

To everyone-else thanks for the input, I am just at a curious point in my life-I also have more time now to "play" on the forums :)

Marakanetz-lol thanks man, needed the laugh!!! Very true, I should have been more detailed in what I was asking ;)

Hi guys,
I happen to be get married in 13 days! I have been with my fiance for 6 years now.
She will sometimes come downstairs and sit on the couch while I listen, but she is not really a participant. That is both good and bad but most of all it just is. It is the way she is and there are things in her life that I don't necessarily participate in.
We fight..sometimes. and mostly it is because one of us or both of us are irritable or something. That's one it's nice for use to be able to withdraw so to speak.
I am 41 so I have put off my first marriage for quite awhile. I used to say that I didn't think I would ever get married. Now I am happy to and also ready.
I enjoyed my years of being single and I have high hopes for the future married ones. It is all part of the life. The tragic thing is that this is the life we get and after each moment passes it is gone....Einmal est Keinmal for you Nietsche/ Kundera fans.
Well I ramble...
By the way for those who have split your finances...what if there are considerable differences in the amount of money you both earn? DOes it still work?
