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)!
beheme
Donshoemaker,
Now that you mention it, my wife's constant nagging did give me frequent "listener's fatigue". No wonder I'm enjoying my music now better than before.
I like two-button suits, dark meat and romantic walks to/from the 7-11.

Wife (14)

Audio (30 something)
Husband or audio:???
I had both, the hubby was gonna sell the stero and buy a boat...
I left him all chopped up, meaty gator-bite-sized in a swampy shallow grave in alligator country.
I kept the stereo.
"nuff said.
(8^Q...
Is this a biblical parable? Are we supposed to substitute "gear" for Philistines? Heheh.

This conflict has nothing to do with what your hobby is, it's that you love something other than your girlfriend, and she doesn't like it.

Tvad has the best of both worlds. He has a loving wife that doesn't understand his passion for audio [but she tries], but is happy for him anyway because he's happy doing it.

But take my advice with a grain of salt. Right now I'm 0 for 0. Hah!
