Whatever I do, my wife just won’t give the support I need. Well, at least not saying the words I would like to hear. No matter how beautiful your tank is, she will just say: “it’s ok”, “looks normal”, “nothing special” that sort of things. She won’t go: “Wow, that’s beautiful!”, “that looks nice, hubby”, “unbelievable nice looking fish” etc etc. I just don’t know how to impress her with my tank.
Sometimes I ask her: “you really think they are only 'ok'?”, she will say: “well it’s nice, but you have spent too much $$$ on it.” That’s it! Whatever you need to spend money on they will not like it. I am into some other hobbies as well not just this one and all of them involve investing lots of $$$ that already put them off from the start, how can they be impressed by the results? What's worse sometimes I even have to make up a fake cheaper price for the stuffs I bought. Example a skimmer cost $100.00 I will only tell her I only spent $50 on it. So not to give her a heart attack.
Conclusion: If you get good result without spending any money, women will always be impressed. If you are going to put a great deal of $$$ into it to get that same result, forget it. Anyone in the same situation as me?
