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..? Last edited by cobratrooperlui; 07-01-2012 at 06:21 PM.. |

sell the stuff you DONT REALLY want. ive got a bunch of stuff to let go, both from my own collection and from stuff i bought and saved for my son. its a normal part of collecting, id say. reevaluating and trimming...
not "letting" you have "any" place for your stuff doesnt sound right. even if you only kept 1 book case and rotated what you had on display from time to time (keeping the rest in a couple of rubbermaind totes), i dont think she can justify telling you you can have ANY place for your stuff. does she work? even taking care of your children and housework is work. thats what my wife does and she works very hard. you said "I pay the bills." if she doesnt do her share of work she should probably just stop giving you ultimatums. even if she does work, and viewing her as an equal power in the relationship, her position is still hard to defend.

My friend, you just need 1 big ass display cabinet, store it all as neatly as possible and there you have it.
I chose "keep it put it in storage"

Man, say what you will about joes just being toys and yadda yadda, a lot of you guys are just fucking pathetic. I mean that in every rude and offensive way i can, too. Fucking. Pathetic.
This guy pays the bills AND gets told what to do...you know, and i mean this sincerely, if you guys werent so hard up and willing to worship any bit of pussy thatll stay still for an hour, you might actually get some worth having once in a while. Tell the bitch, no, call the cops, say she hit you and while shes gone throw all her shit outside so you can get a woman whos not a worthless piece of shit. Fuck compromise and fuck whatever candle flavored pier one trailer park wicker bullshit she wants the house done in. WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU? You guys make me sick sometimes.

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...

Sell what you truly have no need or want for, but keep your most prized possessions.
I guess I can understand a collection starting to clutter up a room or house and it becoming a problem, but I still never understood the idea of a significant other wanting to completely rid someone of their possessions/hobby. Might as well say:"Honey I love you for who you are, I just want to change aspects of you because of who you are"

I've got 200+ figures out on display, but they are all on shallow shelves on the wall in my office. They take up no space and act as a sort of wall art Stick them on a wall in your garage if you have to...

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.
