This is exactly the problem with most couples - they don't discuss this shi(stuff) before they get married.
The woman doesn't have to be into audio but she does have to be accepting of your hobby just like if she was into Photography and I wasn't - I know buying cameras/lenses/print materials will be costly - so be it. Her hobby I can live with that.
Same goes for "in the bedroom" - tell the girl about the weird kinky stuff you may or may not be into BEFORE you get married - less chance of one partner seeking it out on the side.
I can;t believe how many guys are on forums discussing how they have to sneak stuff home, lie about the price, or are forced to sell their 7 foot high 4 foot wide loudspeakers for a Totem Model One. The conversation should go.
"Hey by the way if we ever get married I want you to know some things. First I love music and it so happens that my hobby is buying very good equipment to play it. This equipment is usually large and takes up a lot of space in the living room (I will compromise by putting it in the basement but I can't compromise on the size). Further I tend to spend an average of $10,000 a year on my stereo(and this will increase with inflation) and that too is something I intend to keep doing."
Why is this so hard?
Sheldon Cooper (Big Bang Theory) and his "relationship contract" is not such a terrible idea after all.
