The girlfriend perspective is interesting too. I had one who thought she was competing with my drumkit.

How could I possibily prefer to go play with these silly things over spending all my waking moments in the glorious worship of her ???!!! I wonder if she would have thought different if I was a cellist.

Posted to my fb and emailed to anyone I could think of. Best one of these to go around so far!

There are two versions of that going around.

But that certainly describes bands I've been in. LOL

I'm pretty sure I married her.

Great pic!!

One my drum teachers had a situation like in the pic.

He was a full time teacher, gigged every weekend, did regular studio work, etc, actually made his entire living off of drumming. He was engaged. Shortly before the wedding, she said to him "after the wedding, you're going to give up this childish drumming and get a real job, right?"

And that ended that.

I assume the marriage ended, but just to clarify I want to ask of the drumming or marriage ended.

Wedding was called off.

Yes, it's a classic :) I've known women who have amazing contempt for it, though my previous neighbour always seemed to end up with musos ... now unmarried in her 40s, which says a lot ...

From this side of the fence it's different because I'm pretty good at finding men who'd qualify as man-child. They tend to fall into two camps - they either have no interest (because they are consumed by other interests) or they think it's cool.
