The wife's cool with me collecting LEGO.
She's even cool with me spending money, lots of money on it.
The issue is space - it's beginning to get on her nerves.
We live in a 3 room appartment and that doesn't leave much space for a hobby such as this, plus the invasion 2+ years ago has forced me to cut down the space previously used for LEGO.
So the way things are going right now I am downsizing the public display of LEGO and storing it in the attic.
She fully understands that this is my hobby and she would rather I do this than buy a motorcycle, start hunting or some other really expensive hobby If she only knew
Anyways, I'd never ever met anyone who thought I was nuts or teased me for having LEGO as a hobby.
Even my in-Laws think that it's a fun hobby to have.
Point is: She married me, she gave me a child and she accepted to buy an appartment with me (and get a debt that'll last forever) - so I think she's cool with it
