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...

Audio (21)!

Any woman that would make you choose - pressure you to give up something you love - is not worthy. Period.

I'd keep my wife because she would never make me make that choice. She knows I love my systems and I don't believe she would put me on the spot. If she did I'd have to keep the stereo out of principle let alone my love of my toys.

Girlfriends are an expendable asset.
Wives are an inexpendable liability.
That is why I am still single and choose audio!

Steve, sometimes a wife can help you get your audio stuff. My wife makes upwards of 6 figures, and she don't go and spend much. She uses coupons still, buys clothes used at consignment stores.

Most importantly, she lets me buy what I want for the theater.

I know thats not the norm, but being single would be worse for buying my audio

It is my house; my girlfriend has her own place (and her own system that I put together for her). She enjoys my system as much as I do.
