Wife/girlfriend or audio: if you had to chose?


Say your wife or girlfriend (no kid involved) asked you to drop your passion for audio, sell your system and settle for a Bose Wave box - because she thinks that your hobby is a barely grown-up kid toy story that needs to stop (either invasive or expensive or just ridiculous to her friends and family).
What do you do? keep wife/girlfriend or your gear?
Just respond: Audio or Wife and in brackets years of relationship...

She hates the extra bedroom being full of vinyl and cds plus the fact that the stereo has taken over the family room (which is now called the stereo room) but she'll keep bitchin' and I'll keep buying.

Music is not my only friend and certainly not my most important one, and I can listen to music on a $10 transistor radio... I guess that makes me dysfunctional around here...
I make the $$$, I buy the gear, so the answer is clear!

If there are enough of the "get rid of the wife" responses, perhaps another branch of this site should be created . . . Wifebegon.com
