It's the same way in other hobbies, such as square dancing and ham radio (2 other hobbies I'm involved with). Usually, one spouse is involved, and the other one couldn't care less...which brings to mind
a funny story regarding ham radio.
Yes, that is usually the case, but not alaways. :)
Hahaha, now that is quite clever! :D I don't have that problem. :)
ROFLMAO! Well, wouldn't wash with me, dictatorial methods don't work. :D

My late wife was very interested in the BBS (that's how we met)...and while she was interested in ham radio, she had "mic fright". I told her (as I tell other folks with this "condition"), "With the digital modes, you don't have to say a word. Your computer does all the work, and you just type at the keyboard".
Hahaha, now that is quite clever! :D I don't have that problem. :)
If I was to ever get into another relationship (I've been a widower
over 10 years now), I am NOT giving up my hobbies. It's sort of like
posts of dachshund lovers...if their prospective spouse doesn't like dachshunds...or the dachshund doesn't like them...they need to "move along". :)

The prices of much of the gear is absolutely ludicrous. One year, at Dayton Hamvention, there was a DC To Daylight HF rig for $17,000!! Now,
I could outfit a nice shack with various items for $17,000 -- but for
one rig, that's overkill, IMO.
... Flashlight: A case for holding dead batteries.:P
Before my wife died over 10 years, I dropped a MagLite flashlight on
my right foot, fracturing the toes. I now live in dread fear of them.

Then, I realized the following:
1) You're not at the host console.
2) You don't know your password.
3) You can't logon to your own BBS.
Can you say "humble pie and salted crow"??!! :P
Oh dear, you'd feel like the biggest goose out! :D

1) One night I was being a smart aleck, and I said "My head is so far
up my butt, that I can see my throat". Without missing a beat, she
looked at me, grinned wryly, and said "No wonder your eyes are
brown!!".

folks at Home Depot weren't happy about it, either"!! <BG>

That was like the thing I saw on Facebook...

Oh dear. :P Did you mean to say "American"? :P
How about "blonde??". <G>
Are you a blonde American? :P
Never encountered one of those, though I did use a safe ANSI TSR for most of V>BBSing days.

Now, there's an ethnic group for you!! <G> Actually, I've had black
hair all my life, but now, it's like my beard, moustache, and sideburns...all gray/white. :P But, it gets me my senior citizen discounts!! <G>
I'm too old to cut the mustard, but can still stir the mayonnaise,
and lick the jar. So, pass the BLT, onion ring, and Doctor Pepper...and
no one gets hurt. <G>

I doubt there'll be a day where the Sysops won't have to worry about
all the practicing safe hex precautions.
