My other half (and before anyone thinks that is not endearing term - it actually is literally .... she does complete me/us) and we have been happily married now for a little over 20 years. The secret is to share and communicate on everything, no matter how big or small. She likes music, but doesn't share my passion for it. But every decision I've made on audio gear - whether it be $400 headphones, or $40 on CDs - I always consult with her first. She understands my passion - and although she's perfectly happy with her 2Gb Sony and the earbuds that came with it - she's also interested in what pushes my buttons. That's what makes a partnership. She shares my joy at new music finds (even if she hates the genre - not a big opera fan - whereas I love Netrebko, Garanca, and Bartoli), and we do have some music tastes in common (classic rock, and even some pop).
We've talked about budget and both know where the limits are. That way there is no conflict - and there shouldn't be if communication is open and easy.
She also enjoys my HD600s and DT880s (not so much the Grado or K701) - but she's still wondering why I bought the LD MKIV. She does know the music makes me happy though, and that's the secret ....... share everything, and rejoice in your partners uniqueness.
I'm working my way around the world.
