    I'm not even sure I could be with someone who didn't share my passion for PJ at this point (or for music in general) .... On the surface, that seems ridiculous... but the more I think about it, I just don't see how it would work otherwise. :lol:

    My wife is starting to wear PJ shirts with regularity the past few years and it is cramping my style. :lol:

    Seriously though, she doesn't 'get' it but she loves that I have something I am passionate about and supports it
    The love he receives is the love that is saved

    My husband does not get my PJ obsession, but at least he will go to the concerts and travel with me to see them. He just doesn't share the same passion. I met him in 1977 and he was obsessed with Led Zepplin. I was obsessed with Neil Young at the time. :D

    I don't have problems like that, I married a fellow tenclubber :P :lol:

    Does she have a passion that you cannot get into?
    Please, Pearl Jam, consider a Benaroya Hall vinyl reissue! http://community.pearljam.com/discussion/148993/please-pearl-jam-consider-a-vinyl-benaroya-hall-re-issue

    My Pearl Jam obsession....my wife says " it's a bit of a problem,actually."

    Mine tolerates my obsession (Pearl Jam, Rush and Phish), and she's been to a few shows with me and had a great time. The obsession is not her thing, but she tolerates it.

    Mine loves the band and comes to all the gigs with me. The issue is not about loving the band.

    The issue is she does not get my merch/collecting obsession. Let's just say my negotiation skills have improved.

    My husband doesn't get mine. He's always liked the band, I just started recently (12-12-12 to be exact) and I AM OBSESSED. I thought he would be happy I discovered Pearl Jam and a lot of other great bands from the 90s but NOPE said "I'm taking it too far". I calmly explained that it is rare to come across something so wonderful at our age that it makes you feel like you believe in Santa Claus again. Silly maybe, but that's the best way I can describe it. I get to see them for the first time in Worcester, Tuesday night and I am out of my mind with excitement. Life is awesome.

    If anything I converted my wife to being more of a Pearl Jam fan since we met 10 years ago. She pokes the odd fun at me, but doesn't really give me a hard time about it. Basically she just bugs me about possibly having a Man Crush on Eddie Vedder.. which is probably just to justify her own crush on Eddie Vedder :)
