You love the guitar more than you love me!

Ah man,
I've got to say something here! This is just begging me to give my 2 cents worth.
I'm new to the forum and a new Tele Deluxe owner and thus(despite having 2 other guitars) have a renewed love affair with playing and practice. I can't put my Tele down!
For me it's balance, so I often practice beside her on the couch while she reads or watches TV, unplugged or with phones to my amp. She is supportive of me and my playing so I am a lucky man however she does not wish to be a guitar widow or have me somehow not involved in what she is doing or 'our' life together. Sometimes I tread a fine line walking on the edge...she does not play at all(guitar that is :wink:

) now of course I get, you are spending a lot of time on that Fender site...so it's a bit of give and take and patience and growing towards a mutual understanding so I hopefully do not hear those dreaded words..sit down honey, we need to talk... but I admit, I am selfish and driven to achieve where I want to go as a guitar player. My thing today is that famous line from Inglorious Basterds-you don't get to Carnegie Hall without practice :!:

and so I do, come hell or highwater

I have been married some 21 years now. I spend a lot of time with my guitars, especially the last few years. My wife knew she married a guitarist and has been very supportive over the years. I tend to play when she is at work or late at night.

As the OP states, we must remember our families and keep them happy too. I have a rule: A happy wife equals a happy life (if your married).

we have all heard that one before :roll:

eventually they get used to it and they give you a place to be alone with your other mistress :wink:

One thing that helped me and the ball and chain, is to simply dedicate a certain amount of time during the day that we BOTH do our own thing. while the wife reads her novels I play guitar ( in another room of coarse):lol:
I actually started bugging her while she was reading to help her realize how annoying she was when I was playing guitar. :mrgreen:

also you need a hobby that you both enjoy that you can share! (not just sex....that slows down after a while anyways :lol:

) something like crafts, softball, shopping, drugs or whatever you guys like.
me and my wife do Jigsaw puzzles and a good friend of mine and her husband smoke pot together :lol:

the key is having something that sparks conversation :wink:

just my .2 cents

unless you get lucky like strings

Lol, Hunny, I'll be at somebizzares place...

If this is my only bad thing and vice? Then I'm not bad at all
eh? :mrgreen:

Besides playing guitar helped with my quitting smoking.
