@ kehaulani. They’d be tax deductible if I told my wife what I actually paid for them. |

This thread smells like toxic masculinity. |

This post is about understanding wife’s. I am gonna change that to understanding spouses. My husband has been great during my 3 year comeback. I drool over a new horn and he convinces me to buy it.
Currently have 3 awesome horns and 1 up for sale.
Think he’s a keeper! |

That’s the spirit! Honestly, my wife and I are on the same page here: we buy something, we sell something. For her it’s garden stuff, for me it’s music stuff. The most critical mind is our 10yo. Constantly asking why I have so many horns (6 in total, only about 10 mouthpieces, no other extras like cars or bikes or fishing gear, whatever) - she’s a starting guitar player though, so we’ll talk again in a few years _________________ 2019 Martin Schmidt eXcellence

Never show her a picture of a Rickenbacker or Martin Sinker. |

So, I am on my second comeback, and the wife has been much more understanding. She even let my buy a Tom Crown practice mute!

I just bought my third. It was a screaming great deal on a direct-from-manufacturer demo, sold by the company president himself. I could not turn it down.
I told my wife, "I think this will be the last one," but she said "Oh, no, don't say that. I think we should build an annex for the bikes and the horns."
I think that means I'm good for at least one more. Anybody with experience on wife remarks care to chime in? |
I assume you've been married for at least as long as you've been playing. Having said that, you shouldn't have to ask - she was being sarcastic. When it comes to husband's hobbies, if it doesn't involve creating or fixing something in the house, then all references to it will be sarcastic. She might go to great lengths to convince you otherwise if you ask, but trust me, deep down your woman DOES NOT want you to have any outside interests! Especially if they cost money.
