I was just doing some thinking and was wondering, anyone here had a relationship end or come close to it because of their arcade addiction? I have not personally (yet) The wife is totally supportive as long as I don't get out of hand when buying.
 
If a relationship is ended by a woman over this hobby..then she ain't worth keeping regardless...would she rather you go out drinking..cheating.....thats been my thinking..my girlfriend has always supported me..even though she isn't as interested in this stuff..Does she like the space they take up all time..hell no...but she thinks same as me...get a dedicated building and enjoy the hobby..she doesn't try to control me or anything....if she did I'd be single again..:D
 
Only relationship that suffers with hobby is my left hand.. I have neglected it some.. but I'll make it up to my left hand.

What about relationships that have begun and/or prospered by this hobby? Some of these guys are regulars at truck stops because of it.

Perhaps that ought to be discussed, too.

I had a friend help me move some games once. I haven't seen or heard from him since. I guess he thinks I might need help agian or something. LOL

the only problem with that is I can see space and money being taken over with this hobby and im sure over time that would end a relationship. Say you wanna get married and have kids but your buying junk games and stockpiling (a lot of people one here..) in hopes to one day have a nice arcade, I bet shes gonna leave ya soon.. The excuse "at least im not drinking/cheating" wouldnt work in that situation
 
man's gotta have hobbies. my wife hates my tendency to hoard but i think she does feel cool telling people about and showing them our arcade games and pinball.
