there that are happily married and eat-sleep-breath-walk-and-talk LEGO?

So I decided I'd ask the world's largest group of AFOL's just exactly that:

Hmmm...  judging by the number of replies (this is the only one at this point!),
I'd say it's pretty rare!

My wife tolerates my hobby and sometimes will help me sorting parts or even

LEGO if it wasn't for me.  However, I have taught her the valuable lesson she
must know if I was to disappear from her life and she had children...  MEGABLOKS
are crap, LEGO are the best and children MUST have a ton of LEGO toys!

(...) Same with me and my wife. She does get tired of me showing her the same MOC over and over (with 1 piece changed), asking "OK, how does it look now?" Marc Nelson Jr. (21 years ago, 19-Feb-04, to lugnet.general)

Same goes with me and my SO. She do buy me LEGO for gifts, has been building with me (esp. Christmas tree ornaments and one moonbase module). The coolest was probably when she made a custom giftwrap out of my bricks w/o me knowing, inside there was (...) (21 years ago, 24-Feb-04, to lugnet.general)
