My ex-girlfriend hated my hobby so much, when she said to me, *either
the Cb goes or I do*, I gave her a hand to pack her bags. Seriously
though it did cause many huge arguments between us… Have any
other Ham/Cbers had problems with their wife/husband/partner, over
what mine described as *a weird hobby*?

Could have been worse for you: she might have insisted on a code test.

Could have been worse for her: you might have taken up golf and dressed
like a pimp.

All things considered, you are both better off.

I've seen similar "situations" in many hobbies. It usually
is a matter of "not balancing" family, spouse, hobby, work, etc.

My partner hates the 2 things I enjoy the most, Radio and Computers.

I trtied to offer the option of all day down the pub, or in front of the
football and for some reason that didn't appeal either ;-)

Seems that anything that doesn't involve being with them 100 % of the time
is likely to cause problems ;-)

Best Regards,
Alan

Hello Toxic Waste:

Your better off without her I would think. I think she would incourage a
hobby that you enjoyed.

However women are like bus's, when one leaves, another will show up
sooner or later.

Now you can affor to buy a large Linear Amplifier, and massivly high
gain antenna system, every thing has a silver linning.

True, but its when they shout "Room for one more inside" It puts me
off a bit :-)

I'm beginning to get a complex.

Did she hate the hobby itself or did she hate your obsession with it and where
you placed it among the various other priorities that litter your day?

A radio hobby is nice but if you put it above the relationship with her, well,
helping her pack her bags was a gentlemanly touch I guess, but be careful you
don't roll over on your radios in bed...........can make for an awful backache
in the morning. Not to mention that on cold nights you might to warm 'em in
the microwave a minute or so.
Same with computer hobbies I guess. Some people put their priority on looking
at *** thru their monitors but then spend their nights alone in a nice cold
bed. Doesn't make sense to me.

With partners/spouses/significant others/insignificant others, It's not the
hobby that's "weird". It's the hobbyist. Now if she actually thought the
hobby itself was weird, well, then there's not much hope for the relationship I
wouldn't think.

Mine is licensed (as G6MXR) but not really active. I am 'allowed' my antenna
etc., a nice pair of rooms for the shacks, and a I don't recall any grief
over buying rigs etc. She has even said I can have a rig in the bedroom when
I have finished all the DIY.

Women are like buses .... sometimes it seems they're *never* going to
come.

Lets look on the bright side Walt, personally I have no trouble in
finding a girlfriend, unlike the average British Ham, who takes up the
hobby purely because he is incapable of pulling a bit of totty,
although it might help if he bought a bar of soap and a toothbrush.

I suppose its fair to say, a British Hams radio is his equivalent of a
blow up doll...

Yeuk, dont even bear thinking about ;-))

Have a nice day Walt.

Gail absolutely DETESTS it when I'm on the HF rig, because it blows the
front end of her six-meter rig off the bench. She likes that sunspot cycle
DX, don'cha know.
