Quoted from pinnyheadhead:

Well don’t type that 50-50 stuff here. Get up and go tell your wife how this whole “happiness” thing cuts both ways. She will probably cut you off there and say “great, here are some changes “you” can make!”. Uhhhh…..
But if you make it past that sentence without a blip, sure say how you are feeling and how your happiness needs aren’t being met and want her to make changes so it’s 50-50. She will probably say whatever go trim those hedges now and get ready to go to her parents for dinner and no T-shirt wearing this time. But maybe it will work??
Man’s needs tend to be more simple. Man could sit in his basement for 4 hours and watch a game and play 3-4 games of FF during halftime and think it’s awesome. Maybe have a friend over even if his wife doesn’t have anything for him on the schedule. We just sit and hope no one bothers us. Is that asking a lot?
Women “tend” to constantly want to do things and likely “you” do things with her and even you solo with the family, or stuff involving the house, errands, Bed Bath and Beyond and Home Depot if you have time and maybe later dinner at her Parents but don’t drink 3 beers like last time you were there. But Honey they were Mich Ultras! Those don’t count. Lol
I am happy though and have been married 20 plus years. I do my part. We worked together for me to spend money on a first game and later for the second and a few games in and out, years later IMVE NIB for $4600. Baby steps. She likes all the friends I made because pinball folks are such a good group. I do what I need to do and support my wife and take care of stuff, so she is happy.
Now? 10 years or so later we have trust and she lets me buy whatever game I want. Not telling folks what to do but my advice is do what you need to do to get to this place folks! Be responsible with family, money, taking care of house and home and maintain good relationships with anyone in your life etc to get there. The view up here is great. I will keep doing what I need to stay up here. That’s just my story.
To not go too far off topic - My Foo is coming Tuesday-Wednesday. My wife doesn’t care which is awesome.
If you have a unicorn spouse who like pinabll as much as you and can enjoy it together you have me beat. Good for you.

Quoted from Selig:

I was thinking purple too...

Quoted from J85M:

That middle purple is exactly what I was thinking and your mock up looks fantastic, plus no other game in my collection has purple powdercoat so it’s nice to add a little variety.
