1. I'm 26, a radio nut, and single.
2. I do have female friends who 'spin out' out my hobby.
3. I don't watch TV or listen to domestic radio
4. I agree with the majority of posts that say one accepts thier wife/gf's
hobby and they accept yours
5. If this guy lost all his baseball (perhaps he should play cricket) stuff
and it came to this he never really had a true relationship with his wife.
6. It's a sad world today, where most guys my age in VK, make sure they have
assets listed with lawyers in thier own right before they ever move in with
a girl, hence the reason that all-without exception-my mates still live at
home with thier parents.
7. He obviously never read the Amateur's Code "never place hobby above work,
family and other commitments"

My wife never had to work for my hobby. Before we married we
discussed it. I had been a ham for years before we met. I told her
that I was an Amateur Radio Operator for years before we met and I
would be one long after she's gone. If she couldn't accept that, she
would have to move on. Likewise, I never tried to discourage or
change things about my wife. Those things a person likes and
dislikes, or their hobbies, etc, are part of what makes them the
persons they are. I believe that if we take those things from a
person, there will be a hole in their life and they will no longer be
the person we met and fell in love with. Of course, it is different
if that person changes hobbies, etc. on their own, but it is not good
to take it from them.

To include in their budget, support for each other's hobbies is not a
bad thing, but to break their budget over any one hobby is not a good
thing. My wife never went hungry because I bought a radio.
