Sandy has it about right as Mr Squirrel says. We accept that besides being male and female, we are very different in other ways.
Ive been married 17 years. My wife got me a wedding present, a 1936 GE AM-SW floor model. I got her a big chunk of rose quartz.
We still have both. I respect her shoes, clothes and books. I dont comment unless the credit card bill can't be paid off that month.
She rarely says anything about another radio, TV or appliance showing up but she always notices when something is in the back of the truck.
Having your own room and some spare time is key to this hobby, no matter where you squeeze it from.
I was married before for two years in the late 80s. My ex cared little for this stuff. I saw a rare 1934 Philco console radio-RP at a yard sale, moved both seats in my VW Rabbit forward so I could stuff it in. And endured bitching the whole way home. I still have that radio, its in our bedroom!
