Girlfriends and wifes, how do YOU cope?

Dongr, your wife gave you a present beyond all price !
Must be a fine woman .

The critical factor is the nature of the relationship. Perhaps that is an obvious statement but somehow I don't think so.

Fortunately my wife and I don't view one another as "adversaries" in any way. We want the best for each of us, hence for the marriage. We never feel we have to "level the playing field." 50-50 is an idealized goal at best and impossible to measure.

Unless an expenditure, whether it be audio or something else of a discretionary nature, takes food off the table, it's not a problem.

A major plus is she loves music as much as I do, AND, her ears are better than mine. :)

I have a similar approach to yours:

"Nobody even gets near my stereo unless I let them."

Scott, VERY wise words ! Its like a team of horses, if both aren't pulling in same direction nobody is going anywhere.

That said, a good woman, that rare and most precious of things, will do all that just to please you and you'll never know the difference.Good luck in finding one.

Most people, male or female, will tell you who/what they are often with a laugh. When they do, BELIEVE them.If they don't run, something is being hidden.
