The wife/husband/partner appreciation thread

[TheTrueZoltan!]

Let's be honest - our mutual hobby is time-consuming, cost-intensive and often just super annoying for others. Our wives, husbands or partners don't have it easy with us, so we really should appreciate and celebrate them.

Despite everything, my wife gave me this pickholder yesterday as a nice little gift, and it really made me smile. And she even more or less apologized for the fact that there wasn't an ENGL one.

And now I'm faced with a dilemma. Should I tell her that she messed up the wording?

Nah, you just rename yourself to TheRealZoltan.

Celebrating our 31st Anniversary today.
A rarer accomplishment (among the people we know,) and I sure try to take nothing for granted.

Behind every guy exciting others with his guitar playing stands a wife, that is eyerolling, bc she hears the same shit for the 1000th time.

Edit:
That said: If I play the Sweet Child O Mike intro one more time at home I get divorced.

FTFY

Apart from that... so, so very true.

Every girl I've dated loved that I played guitar.. they just hated that I played it in the house

I am a trophy husband in that way. "Yeah, my husband plays a bit of guitar. Yeah, we have a dozen or so laying around at home, just like usual people do, eh? Yeah, I have a video. Yeah, he's quite alright playing, isn't he?".

Fast forward to being at home: "For fucks sake, can't you play something good and not this noodling shite?".

That's fantastic! I guess you can be True or Real in Life, but not both True and Real.

I love Rosie Palm, she's my main "squeeze"!

My wife just recently encouraged me to get my PRS SE Hollowbody Piezo because it’s pretty. She’s the best.

 

[ChordInversion]

My wife just plain makes me better. She's also very appreciative when I play through headphones. :)

 

[JiveTurkey]

You got a good one, TTZ

"I love when you get these little bugs," she says after I've neglected to make dinner and obsessed over a dozen different renditions of When You Wish Upon A Star, several chugs of tequila in.

She gets me.

 

[Alex Kenivel]

but FFS she knows how to spell Kenivel, even if she didn't take my last name

Next year will be 20 years together (IIRC ) and never once she complained about me playing, buying, selling, staying out late at night for a gig. Not even after the first (of 3) kid.

She is the one that encouraged me to leave my previous work and jump into sound engineering full time.

In her social profiles she defines herself, among other things, as married to a guitarist

She knows and understand how much music and playing is important for me and that's something she appreciate and therefore respect, she knows that music is not an hobby, even if technically is, she that is something much deeper.

I can't imagine myself having a relationship with a woman that doesn't understand and respect the nature and depth of my passion.

 

[laxu]

We've been together for something like 11 years now. She understands we each have our hobbies, and sometimes want to buy hobby stuff. She knows I'll take ages to decide what I want to buy and then make sure we are financially sound to do it.

We're both rock and metal fans so there's no issue with music choices either. She was actually the one who said "Hey go listen to the new Judas Priest album, it kicks ass", which then lead me to go see them at a gig (she was in Japan at the time)...which kicked even more ass.

My wife is a milf. Well done lass.
