Whatever you say, Sparky. My wife will never tell me what I can or cannot do. If she does, it's divorce time. And the reverse is absolutely true as well: I want her to stick around, so I don't tell her what she can or cannot do. We are adults. We make our own decisions. And yes, we compromise all the time. But compromise is not about control. That IS compatibility. -Dave On 8/27/24 11:59, Sentrytv wrote:
It is not a “compatible spouse” as you call it. It is someone who is willing to accept you for who you are but yet put their foot down when things get out of hand. It is called Compromise. You AND your significant other should be able to compromise.

This is precisely why I started to sell off my collection, and as Dave McGuire pointed out it’s the people who come after we’re gone that will have to deal with it! As I stated on the front page of my sales page: "There comes a time when one's collection overwhelms the ability to store or maintain it ... I imagine the pain of my family in having to do this after I'm gone!"
I certainly wasn't the one who pointed that out. I was the one advocating for finding a compatible spouse to begin with.
If fat, funny-looking, high-maintenance "me" can do it, any guy can.
