Wife Acceptance Factor


I hear alot about Wife Acceptance Factor when it comes to equipment. I'm getting married in 6 months. Fortunately, my fiance is pretty accepting of the hobby. Just curious about all those guys out there who have a family and are still allowed to invest their spending money almost entirely on audio equipment. After you get married, do most women step in and try to squash spending on this hobby? Opinions welcome!!!

i dont get it,really,all the guys who claim to have nagging wives always crying about their hobbies must be nuts,is the 9u$$ that good where you are not allowed to pursue somthing your passionet about & your ok with it?

every time i read one of these waf threads & hear about how guys have to sneak & hide their gear or get rid of fantastic sounding speakers that they love & replace them with little waf friendly monitors & all because the little woman dont think they match the decor it makes me think they are nuts.

for 20 years my wife has put up with countless loud motor cycles & ugly stereo's & hifi & only had one bad thing to say & that was after i threw out her brand new love seat sofa to make room for my klipschorns(sounded like a good plan at the time)but she got over it & actually liked the khorns better than the sofa.

im not trying to act like the big man here with the old im the man speech,i love my wife dearly & i would give up hifi & harleys in a heart beat if it meant keeping the toys i would loose her but she would never ask me somthing like that,she knows that i enjoy these things very much & likes to see me happy.

my advice to anybody who has to deal with this kind of woman is to upgrade her at the same time you upgrade your rig,you'll be much happier & your rig will sound better.
