Getting married...and she says I have too much plastic! Advice?

[kyledstauffer]

Anybody else gotten married to someone who doesn't understand your obsession with plastic? Or that you can never have too much? I'm getting married in May and she saw maybe a quarter of my stash and thinks I have waaayyy too much. I really don't wanna part with my plastic but I think I have to. One because it'll make her happy until I get a full time job, and two I need money for a honeymoon.

What do I do? and if I have to sell, what do I sell? My throwers, my circle stamps (I have them all), my CE, KC pro stuff? (she only cares about my quantity not quality of plastic). Thoughts?

tell her you wont store any plastic in the kitchen and if she stayed there everything will be fine

throws befo' hoes <stolen quote i'm not that crafty, but iz jus playin' if your going to sell i would say sell what you don't throw, or you could go the other route because i assume she doesn't know the importance of discs, so get rid of the ones that don't have value or importance to you. i know thats hard to say about plastic but that would be my best suggestion for a compromise. She will see some of it gone and be happier and you won't have much of a loss and make a little bit of cash at the same time.

Seriously though this request is a huge red flag I would be concerned that she doesn't support your passion.

haha she's not all bad. She'll go disc golfing with me and doesn't mind my playing...she's just concerned with how much I spent on em.

She said once I get a full time job (in grad school right now and job hunting hard!) I can have as much plastic as I like

rent a storage unit

buy as much as you can fit in it

 

[UnitedPuppySlayer]

Seriously though, you don't want to start off with a fight that, lets be honest, is not a life changing decision. Make both of you happy and sell some of the plastic. Obv not ones you throw, but as said before, the ones that you don't mind getting rid of. And another plus other than she being happy with you is that you can put it towards the honeymoon.

 

[optidiscic]

every time she makes you sell plastic I'd steal and e-bay a pair of her shoes

 

[Okie-J]

Getting married gotta get rid of the plastic?

Ok.

What is she gona get rid of? Shoes?

This is bull**** man. Soon enough this chick is gona be gone and then what are you gona do with no plastic?

Go ahead and get married. I love love of course but don't touch that plastic tell you have this chick longer than some of that plastic.

See that's the argument I tried to make to her! She collects shoes and jewelry...I collect plastic! What's the difference?

Somehow I lost that argument...not sure how

 

[tmahan]

How many pairs of shoes does she have?

Tell her you won't buy any discs that aren't funded by sales of existing stock until you graduate and get a job.

You must have a lot of discs (and rare ones to boot) if you're going to pay for a honeymoon from disc sales.

Just tell her if she makes you get rid of them you might possible resent her forever for it. You'll still be bringing it up in arguments when you're 80.

 

[timothyasteele]

Coming from a happily married man (10 years next year), if she collects shoes and jewelry, think twice about marrying her. Go for lower maintenance, trust me.

Also, if she's nagging you now before you get married, expect it X 5 after you get married. I would have a serious conversation with her to get things straight, the first being that nagging you about your favorite pastime is not going to go over well.

How many? I'm not sure...maybe 100 to 150. Excessive I know, but nothing compared to what some people on here have.

There's gotta be some married dudes on here with this problem. What do you say to the lady when you wanna buy some more sweet plastic?

Which brings me to a second question...possibly a new thread: how much plastic is too much plastic and what to do you feel is excessive?

 

[optidiscic]

150 is nothing
probably 2000 to 3000 max
compare that to other toys
a motorcycle
a classic car
an escort service habit

cmon how much in jewelry does she have?

I'd not bend on this one

Really? 150 is nothing...I'm gonna have to start a poll to see how much plastic people think is normal, and where the line at excessive is.

I guess my stash is more like 200, but as far jewelry goes I know I've spent at least twice as much on jewelry for her as I have on plastic....so I think my hobby is pretty inexpensive haha

You'd know her best. You should have a way to win any argument. You should also know which arguments to really go after and which to fold. If keeping your plastic is one that you must win, then do so...knowing that you will have to fold somewhere else.

give/take = relationships
