[78-L] For those married folks, how does your spouse fell about your record collection?

[fnarf at comcast.net]

My wife has participated in the record collecting to a large degree, but I think it's safe to say that by now she HATES IT. Takes up space we can't afford. Dust, clutter, filing -- she hates it, all right. Bringing new records into the house is simply not an option, I've learned; it's much more likely to be a case of her holding up a stray box and saying "what about THESE, can we get rid of THESE?".

I can sort of see her point. It's a good thing they're all in the basement, otherwise the whole house would fall over backwards. I remember reading on this mailing list a long time ago a discussion of weight and bulk, culminating in one poster exclaiming that he had to run, he just realized he had the equivalent of a 1958 Buick sitting in his attic, right over the bedroom!

As most record collectors seem to be male I'm wondering is your wife 
accepting of your collection? Tolerates it? Hates it or something 
else? How does she feel about your buying more records or bringing 
them home? Ok with it? Or do you get a hassle every time you add new 
(to you) records to your collection?

I'm not married so thankfully  no wife problems however I've had a 
few girlfriends from time to time that seemed to be ok with my very 
large collection of records. None of them were really thrilled by it 
though......
