THREAD HIJACKED FOR A MINUTE!
I was married for 9 years and together for over 13 years to the same woman and my ex tolerated my obsession for music/equipment. I would end up pacifying her by buying her something also(blackmail). Most women don't give a damn about the equipment they view it as a threat due to the fact that you are showing an emotion towards something other than them? Hey we listen more carefully to recorded music than to our spouses/girlfriends don't we?
Okay, let me generalize and say that some wives are "dream killers" it's a "double standard" as long as they are in control the marriage is okay. How many times have you been shot down with an idea of doing something for YOU only? Sure there are things you do together but don't you work hard for what you have so enjoy it? I have had a girlfriend for over two years who does show an interest in music and sitting down and listening with me! It's a pretty sad state of affair when you have to sneak equipment in or beg them or buy them something just so you can enjoy something that makes you happy! Not trying to stereotype all women beacuse they all aren't like that. Maybe I just view it differently due to the fact my Mom died when I was 7 and my dad raised me so I didn't get brainwashed early? But hey my Daughter is already breaking me down,LOL
