Today is my 20th wedding anniversary. I was thinking about it this morning and realized for 15-16 of those years I've collected arcade games. My wife never really got into them and never plays them. She "tolerates" my obsession with games. About 8 years ago I seriously thought of quitting the hobby and selling most of my games. She was the one who talked me off the edge because she knew how much I loved the hobby. She also encouraged keeping them so the kids could enjoy them. She's always been very patient with my long distance pickups, family plans rescheduled to work in a trade, and parts laying all around the house or garage. She's always looked the other way when a new ding in the drywall appears from moving games in and out of the house. Even so recent as Mother's Day weekend she waited on her gift so I could pick up a great deal on a pinball machine at a garage sale.
I've been pretty lucky these last 20 years and I hope most of you guys have similar stories! I think its good to know that yes you can be married and have this hobby!
