    Your screwed friend.

    I dated a hot freak for a while. Only things I could say is this:
    - you cannot marry a freak if you want a peaceful life
    - the sex will never be as good as with the crazy bitches
    - they may be fun, but they are not healthy. Try to go a t m with a normal chick and see what happens on that end.
    - freaks are addictive, and can be hard to not go back to

    Damn freaks, they are the hardest to kick to the curb, especially if they do some crazy shit that you know only freaky ass bitches will do.

    Like someone already said, your collecting is part of who you are, and it's not hurting anyone (unless you're using money you don't have, or money that probably should be spent buying food).
    I totally understand if a woman doesn't understand your fascination with, from her point of view, plastic kid's toys, but if she can't respect your hobby/interests, she's the one who needs to make a decision. Especially if she has known about it all along.
    It would be different if you didn't really know each other very well and she came home to your place for the first time and saw the collection.

    yes there is!
    my wife collects as well so it has never been an issue. we also limit ourselves financially on what we spend, so that as well is never really an issue. we each have our own little place to stick our collections and that is that

    most people that get into these "me or it" situations get their priorities shifted and focus too much on one or more aspects of collecting. you have to have step away and look at the bigger picture. if you are in relationships that has no forward momentum and thought, you should be asking if you need to be in a relationship at all.

    anywho..best of luck to the guys having issues and such. life can be difficult at times with the people you let yourselves get mixed up with.

    Yep. She's been getting more lately than I have :lol  She says she only gets 'cute' Transformers, but her definitions of 'cute' for TFs are pretty... unique.

    No I've never heard that ultimatum before. She luvs her shoes - I luv my TFs. I stay out of her shoe collection - She stays out of my TF collection. We have a great relationship! :D

    I think you over did it when you said your collection is a part of you, no matter what, no plastic collection can even compare to what we are.

    If she's one of those women that own like 45,000 pairs of shoes then you should have used that as leverage :lol 

    My mother and my sister are the same way. Always complaining that "YOU'RE 18 YEARS OLD STOP BUYING TOYS!" but yet it seems like they buy a new pair of shoes every week.

    I will never understand why you guys put up with shit like this.
    My wife knew 14 long years ago what she was getting into and has NEVER NEVER NEVER had any kind of problem with my collecting habits(and I have a lot of them). It's called mutual respect.
    Probably wasn't the right girl for you anyway if she's giving you ultimatums like this, so good riddance. You're better off WITHOUT someone like that in your life. :2c:

    If she doesn't want to be with someone who collects transformers, then she doesn't. She has the right to make anything a dealbreaker at any time. So do you.

    If you can't or won't be the person she's asking you to be, then you can't or won't.

    No amount of bargaining from either side will change either fact.

    I hope you told her to proceed on her way to oblivion when she left, OP.

    My wife loves TFs - the toy side of things, in particular, as their engineering fascinates her. She has absolutely no problems with my collection.

    Look mate. Th first thing is you need to always look at urself first and be honest. Is your collecting really a problem? I know you said you can pay the bills etc. but even then collecting can be a problem if you're burning through your savings and not saving up for a future/house etc and you are merely living from pay cheque to pay cheque.

    Admittedly, self reflection can be very difficult sometimes because some women can be very manipulative and they know how to make you feel guilty even though you are not at fault. Fact of the matter is that there are some women out there who have some issues and they are downright unhealthy for you. But, If your house is in order and if your life is correct (in your opinion), then if she is still whining I say ditch the witch.

    I used to have a girlfriend who was pissed off with me throwing cash at my car cuz I would rather spend the cash on my car and opt for a cheaper holiday then to save up exclusively for that annual expensive romantic overseas holiday...yes annual.

    Needless to say I got rid of her. Last I heard she is dating some rich banker who is able to have fancy cars and fancy holidays. Good for her.

    Bottom line is this. You need to make sure that your life is sorted out...and once you're certain of what you want you go for it. If you're ok with compromising your lifestyle for a women because she is this awesome person that is really worth making the sacrifice for and you want a family and all that (which is not actually a bad thing) then you need to make those sacrifices. But if you're like me and you subscribe to a more self centered way of living, then I say ditch the witch.

    Ultimately you need to know what you want in life.


    Pro Tip #1: If you want to live a more self-centered lifestyle that allows you to make less sacrifices for your partner, you must not let your GF (or BF if ur into that sort of thing) move in with you. Now believe it or not, it is actually difficult to try to stop your GF from moving in, because she will try to leave her crap in your house...she leaves a jacket or two in ur house...next thing it's her tooth brush and hair drier. Stop the rot early on.
