In Reply to: Wife/GF Hobby Acceptance posted by AudioSoul on March 28, 2017 at 10:03:39:
I had a separate listening room/office in our previous house, and I combined 2 BR when renovating our current house to create a large listening space. I can do whatever I want in there. She says she can just "close the door". OTOH she insisted that whatever was put into the family room, kitchen, dining room etc, had to be unobtrusive. Single box HT receiver, modest L-C-R speakers, inwall for everything else. I ran ethernet cable from my room to the HT receiver, and can play music all over the downstairs. She and I share musical tastes and often listen to music streamed from upstairs through the HT receiver. She also has her hobbies and interests. The key is trust and communication. We trust each other not to break the bank in pursuit of our interests and we check in with each other regarding significant purchases. Works for us. Then again, we know other couples where the husband has a somewhat expensive hobby. In one case, the husband spent a modest amount of money on something, so the wife went out and spent the same amount of money on jewelry. In another case, the wife told the husband that his hobby only benefited him, and if funding came from the "family" budget then the "family" had a right to participate. End of hobby.
