How do men feel when their wives veto a purchase?
I am trying to sell a pair of speakers so that I could upgrade. A couple fellows were ready to go when their respective wives would not allow the purchase. Never having been married, I wonder how the husbands feel. Quiet? Dejected? Resentful? Brooding? Withhold, or turtled for any sexytime? Hasn’t had any lately, anyway?
One of my sisters in law would not even have a pair of speakers, an amp and a CD player in the living room and disapproves of a nice new car. They don’t do very shabby. To be fair, she does not buy extravagant things for herself either and dresses pretty conservatively. She hits inanimate things with her beater car too and I wish she would buy a new one for safety’s sake. My brother bought a pretty nice Audi but it was used. My other sister in law lets my other brother have anything he wants and he has thousands of bucks invested in diecast buses - nice ones. They don’t do very shabby either. She is a bargain hunter.
On the other end of the spectrum, a fellow was advertising his Rega Planar 3 on eBay. In the ad, he mentioned his wife said, “What did you buy that for? Why don’t just get what you want?” He wound getting a Planar 8. I could not help but message him how lucky he is.
Thanks for letting me vent because I’m pretty hot to sell my speakers and am pretty disappointed myself. I feel for those two fellows too. More often than not, wives and audio do not mix. My audio guy told me a story where a wife stormed into his shop and told him under no circumstances would she allow those speakers (too big). End of conversation. Another anecdote: a lady walked into my audio guy, heard the speakers and was convinced. She liked them so much she would not have anything else.
Apologies in advance for any offense and let the moderator take this post down if he/she objects to the sexytime thing. I could find no other category to write this anecdote.
What do you think?
Stay safe

I think she needs to get kicked to the curb. I spoil her rotten. She does not get a vote for a nice clean music hobby. She is welcome to enjoy it with me, but she will not be denying me the fulfillment I get from this hobby.
