If she starts complaining ( about anything), I just let the air out and put her back in the box. Cal me old fashioned, but it works for us.

My wife thought I was crazy with my vintage gear until I bought her a pink sparkle Tempro kit and she learnd how to play. Now she spends more time on my WFL kit than I do. The Tempro kit is getting sold and she wants a Ludwig. You gotta love it when they get bit by the bug too.
What's that old C&W tune ... "My Gal left me for my best friend, I sure do miss him ..." or something like that.
I married a non musician, she couldn't deal with the late nights 3 4 5 nights a week, ended in divorce (had a party w/ open bar & band). After that I made a rule, only date/marry musicians, they understand the beast.
I'm pretty blessed. My wife is very supportive of my addiction, though she says she'd like for me to talk about something other than drum stuff more often. She lets me buy the things I want if we have the extra money or if I've saved gig money...or sold something. Her only hangup now is that we just don't have room for any more kits...I need a bigger place. :p She does very much enjoy going to my gigs, so that helps with the late nights thing.

Maybe I should buy that kit for my wife...but she's not really a pink kinda girl...and she doesn't like sparkles. I know, she's weird...but I like her anyway. Cool Dude
Can you dig it! larryvonludwig quotes, ""If she starts complaining ( about anything), I just let the air out and put her back in the box"" Laughing H. You Guys are Great!!!! Bowing
If she knew you played when she met you.....then thats the way it is.I made the mistake of selling my drums in the mid 70's.My first marrage.The soon to be bride and mother in law,insisted I sell them to pay off "our " debts,and start the marrage debt free.Funny thing is when we met,she was kind of one of the band followers,so she knew what she was getting.
I should have run far and fast right then and there,but I sold a 60's OBP Ludwig hollywood kit and a Standard Blue mist sparkle kit in the same sizes,with 8 Zildjians....the whole ball of wax.

If I may use a poker metaphore.All I can say is, if the're trying to change you,full well knowing who and what you are,and then playing the "me or them" hole card........go all in,and don't look back.Better to find out NOW.;)Life is about compromise,not ultimatums.
