Tell her you don't like her crap that's out and that you'll put some stuff away if she does the same. Seriously you guys are in it together. If she can't accept your hobby that don't accept hers- meaning tell her you don't like the girly pictures or whatever in the house. They're not just toys, they're part of who you are. There's no reason you shouldn't be able to have a little bit of display space in the house. Luckily my wife is cool as hell and lets me have half the bedroom for whatever I want. That includes 6 shelves, 2 large bookshelves, 1 Deltof cabinet, tons of loose figures vehicles. Even planes hanging from the ceiling. She may keep the door closed when company is over but you can't win them all.

It's your hobby, it's part of who you are. It's like if you where a rock climber, (and you very well could be) and she demanded you stop doing it. You would always love rock climbing and you wouldn't be happy if you stopped because someone wanted you to and you obliged.
Same here, you collect G.I.Joes and you love it. If you got rid of your collection you will not be happy. Who's running this operation anyway..? Quote:
Time to find a new wife it sounds like...sorry..but Joes come first lol...she can either accept them on display or move out and pay any required child support to support your troops. I ever get married I am having her sign a prenup that dictates she causes any harm to my collection...she shall payeth the full amount in alimony...

I think he does have character-it's just that he's not being very eloquent-but us men need to stop believing the media's constant hype on how women are "goddesses".They're called the weaker sex for a reason-not just because they're physically weaker, women are also emotionaly and mentally weaker too.
Is there more to the story that you're not telling? Is she the breadwinner with you not helping financially? Are you guys sort of hard up for money? Have you broken an agreement about how much you'd spend? Are you taking over the house with your hobby? Do your shelfs look like a disheveled mess? There's almost always more than "I don't like them" to the story in my experience with friends. |

were you collecting when you got married? remind her that the collection came with the marriage. there are things about my wife that bug me (very few things) and vis versa. but we knew about all those things coming into the marriage. so we just move past it. she knows i'll always leave a stack of dishes in the sink and a stack of comics by the bed. that's who i am. you can't change a man. talk it over with the woman make some compromises. don't change who you are it'll just come back later in a big ball of bitterness.
or the other side of me says sale her keep the joes. Last edited by ilzuccone; 07-01-2012 at 07:20 PM.. |

These guys obviously have never been in successful relationships, so ignore this. Relationships are about compromise and communication. Talk with her, I'm sure you'll be able to come to some sort of compromise. This is your wife, she is supposed to be the love of your life and you hers. Neither of you are willing to end your relationship over some fucking toys, but obviously something needs to change. Talk to her, work it out.

Well I'd ask her if you can keep it in storage.If she doesn't like the idea sell your collection.Your wife is more important than toys.

How important is your collection to you? Why doesn't she want it on display?
