Excellent story, I am in a similar situation with a non-Lego wife although I
did get her to build a small car (Can't remember the set number but it comes in
a plastic bag and not a box) so maybe there is still hope.
Unlike yourself I don't have any kids (yet) so I don't have anyone else to
build with (Unless my 5 year old nephiew visits). My wife on the other hand
tollerates Lego on the first floor for brief periods of time.
