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)!

Wife ( No longer needed one after 20 yrs), Audio ( I can trade, sell, buy with no complication ). At certain age, I love to look at the back of these amps more than what in the adult magazines.
Really, all joking aside, I'd like to apologize for my wanna-be sense of hunour. There would be plently of female audiophiles who would be offended by my remarks. So here is my deep and sincere apology to all audiophiles : male, female, heretosexual and bi-sexual alike. My new year resolutions are quiting Dunhill, Cognac and the " blue pills" and respect the opposite gender more. However, I decided to continue checking out the behinds of these black or silver boxes whichever the case may be. I guess one of the man's survival instinc is to check-out these nice behinds from the objects we contemplate.
Freemand, mostly just joking around. There is no replacement for the women that we fall in love with. People change in according to the enviroment, career...Different thing happens to different people for a different reason. I believe the disposable income I spend on audio gears is well-spended. At least, I do not blow my money at the Casino or titty bars.
Beheme, sorry to take your thread into another direction. Really, I know a guy who used to own a hi-end audio dealer and recently he talked about hi-end "coffee shop" with hi-end sounds, serving fine Cognac by hi-maintenance-waitress. Black jackets required.It is amazing how "great mind" has the same thouhgt.
Cytocycle, How often do you do tube-rolling when tubes are like women ? It is expensive either way you go. Isn't it?
