What can I do to make my wife like music again?

She and I had an argument last night culminating in me telling her we have nothing in common and asking her why she married me. I admit I blew things way out of proportion. But I asked her why she didn't like music anymore and reminded her of a time when she would enjoy sitting around drinking wine and listening to some tunes and hanging out. Now she says she would rather just listen to NPR or go in the other room. She said she is sick of the music. She said she likes most of what I listen too but isn't into it that much anymore. Do I need to do another striptease to "Strip". What the hell, it makes me sad. Make her a mix tape?

Chris V. (Chris V), Monday, 27 January 2003 14:30 (twenty-three years ago)

I've suggested she choose the music too. She said she would rather not.

Chris V. (Chris V), Monday, 27 January 2003 14:33 (twenty-three years ago)

This is bad. This is very bad.

Lara (Lara), Monday, 27 January 2003 14:34 (twenty-three years ago)

Sounds like a nightmare, Chris. Sorry. Maybe she just needs a little break from listening to music. I get those sometimes. A little music block where I don't want to listen to ANYTHING. I just need silence or maybe some conversation because there's too much noise. Ok, doesn't happen that often, but has happened before... So I would try to comfort her and change the subject, and she'll come around and want to dance and party with loud music soon enough.

Sarah McLusky (coco), Monday, 27 January 2003 14:35 (twenty-three years ago)

It's a good idea to have a bit of separate space anyway - Isabel and I are like this, I like spending evenings reading/surfing and listening to music; she likes to spend them with the TV. We manage fine by compromising, and "going into the other room" isn't that big a deal.

On the other hand it might be that music is the symbol of some deeper grumpiness in which case you'd best get to the bottom of it. :(

Tom (Groke), Monday, 27 January 2003 14:39 (twenty-three years ago)

It is bad. She told me she appreciates that I appreciate music soooo much but she just isn't into it. Then I told her all her liking of the same music 6 years ago when we got together was a ploy for her to get me to like her. Like I said I blew it all out of proportion.

Chris V. (Chris V), Monday, 27 January 2003 14:41 (twenty-three years ago)

Ok she just called me a few minutes ago and I heard Durutti Column - "Otis" in the background. I asked her what she was doing and she was doing some bills listening to a cd I made for myself a few days ago. And she was really liking "Otis". Yippeee! maybe this is a start of something. I want to make her a nice mix for valentines day, maybe with all the stuff we used to listen to on it.

Chris V. (Chris V), Monday, 27 January 2003 15:12 (twenty-three years ago)

This is better. This is much better.

Lara (Lara), Monday, 27 January 2003 15:14 (twenty-three years ago)

Chris, maybe not. maybe do something else for Valentine's day, something surprising and considerate that doesn't involve music. If it's a sensitive subject (especially as relatively speaking it's not the be all and end all), then just leave it in the background for a while.

Mark C (Mark C), Monday, 27 January 2003 15:20 (twenty-three years ago)

yeah good idea mark.

Sarah McLusky (coco), Monday, 27 January 2003 15:36 (twenty-three years ago)

write her a song? how bout that?

g-kit (g-kit), Monday, 27 January 2003 15:39 (twenty-three years ago)

Hard one, this. How about stop being so shallow and petty and let her get on with things? Is your relationship built on more than just 'a love of music'? If it is not and this is a major problem for you - maybe divorce and marry your local record shop? Sorry. This is how I'm reading it. Sounds like you've got deeper problems and maybe you should look more closely at your relationship.

robotman, Monday, 27 January 2003 15:46 (twenty-three years ago)

sorry robotman your wrong.

Chris V. (Chris V), Monday, 27 January 2003 15:47 (twenty-three years ago)

yes, its built on much, much more than love of music. and our love of trolls.

Chris V. (Chris V), Monday, 27 January 2003 15:48 (twenty-three years ago)

Hey - the a marriage is incredibly tough. And hard work. But blowing off because 'she's not into music' is well ... shallow.

Sorry but your post struck me as being insular and selfish. I called it. It can't be all fluffy clouds to bounce on in ILE. Otherwise it would be orwellian.

'Nuff said. I@m off this post.

robotman, Monday, 27 January 2003 15:49 (twenty-three years ago)

aw, is my idea too slushy and cliched to actually work, and therefore crap?

i'll get back to me fluffy clouds...

Sarah McLusky (coco), Monday, 27 January 2003 15:52 (twenty-three years ago)

no g its not, in fact its a great idea since i have been practicing my guitar playing.

Chris V. (Chris V), Monday, 27 January 2003 15:52 (twenty-three years ago)

Do you have a 4-track, Chris? You could write a song and ask if she'd contribute vox or something? Set up the mic for her like a real pro. Very romantic...

Sarah McLusky (coco), Monday, 27 January 2003 15:54 (twenty-three years ago)

awwwwwww at the clouds!

g-kit (g-kit), Monday, 27 January 2003 15:54 (twenty-three years ago)

Errr. Has anyone actually listened to what the wife said in all of this. Might be worth a factoring in??

Wife: I'm sick of music.
Husband: That's great darling, here is a song.

Something to think about guys...

robotman, Monday, 27 January 2003 15:55 (twenty-three years ago)

I wish I had a 4-track. Is there some sort of way to do this using my pc? Don't they have plugins?

Chris V. (Chris V), Monday, 27 January 2003 15:56 (twenty-three years ago)

oh and im not blowing off my marriage....i'm not saying im unhappy with my marriage...im saying i was sad because she didn't like music anymore. believe me, im not going to get a divorce over something little like this. and i don't think my record shop is single anyway.

Chris V. (Chris V), Monday, 27 January 2003 15:58 (twenty-three years ago)

mmm... sassy record shops... mmm...

Sarah McLusky (coco), Monday, 27 January 2003 15:59 (twenty-three years ago)

yeah, you could use your pc, i reckon. just remember to change yr volume and input settings on yr volumey toolbar thingy.

hey, that robot guy went back on his word and posted again! i'm never trusting him again.

g-kit (g-kit), Monday, 27 January 2003 15:59 (twenty-three years ago)

I'm just saying chill off the music thing and she will come back to it. i.e. Listen to what she is saying. Don't force what you think is right onto her. Probably the worse move to make. It's got a side-line issue of communication.

*shrugs shoulders*

Again, ignoring it and saying 'I know you are tired of music but hey here is a song' is probably not the best way to go.

robotman, Monday, 27 January 2003 16:01 (twenty-three years ago)

he may have a point. taking advice from me is generally the dumbest thing you can do.

g-kit (g-kit), Monday, 27 January 2003 16:02 (twenty-three years ago)

would you have sex with your record shop if you could? Mines a little dry and dusty.

Chris V. (Chris V), Monday, 27 January 2003 16:03 (twenty-three years ago)

I think there's a kernel of truth in Robotman's gruff point-making - would not listening so much to music for a bit be so awful, Chris? I know Isabel gets pissed off sometimes cos when I'm listening to a track it can be a real attention-eater.

Tom (Groke), Monday, 27 January 2003 16:03 (twenty-three years ago)

mine doesnt even sell good records. it'd be like fucking an Our Price. and that's just filthy. even for me.

g-kit (g-kit), Monday, 27 January 2003 16:04 (twenty-three years ago)

i won't force anything on her, and you are right mr robot its probably not a good idea. I agree with you on that. But i disagree with you thinking i want out of my marriage over something like this. no, i can listen to music all day but when she comes home on friday nights i should just turn it off. which i will start doing. i was surprised by her listening to Durutti this morning though.

Chris V. (Chris V), Monday, 27 January 2003 16:05 (twenty-three years ago)

Why don't you do something she wants to do instead? It's all about compromise. Force issues and yer marriage is not going to last long and nobody will be happy.

robotman, Monday, 27 January 2003 16:06 (twenty-three years ago)

we do that most of the time, we compromise all the time. we have a great marriage, its wonderful. It was one little thing that bothered me. I'm even starting to like "Trading Spaces" and "A Wedding Story". In fact I find myself watching them when she isn't home.

Chris V. (Chris V), Monday, 27 January 2003 16:08 (twenty-three years ago)

I like record shops like I like my man - dirty, eclectic, and full of hidden treasures.

Sarah McLusky (coco), Monday, 27 January 2003 16:09 (twenty-three years ago)

Chill out, man. I don't even know you. Just made an easy point that everybody was missing.

robotman, Monday, 27 January 2003 16:10 (twenty-three years ago)

Ooh!! ooh!! Trading SPaces!

Anyway, I feel your pain Chris. It seems like whenever I complain about one little aspect of my life to anybody they act like I think my life sucks. But I totally don't. Just sometimes there are those little problems that need fixin' and you wanna talk about them.

Sarah McLusky (coco), Monday, 27 January 2003 16:10 (twenty-three years ago)

As a happily married man, I think robotman needs to shut the fuck up.

Colin Meeder (Mert), Monday, 27 January 2003 16:11 (twenty-three years ago)

But why be so defensive? I was not talking about his marriage or his life. Just made a point. Just accept or reject and move on? That's what I do?

robotman, Monday, 27 January 2003 16:12 (twenty-three years ago)

Do you ever.

Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 27 January 2003 16:12 (twenty-three years ago)

O.k., you freaks. Bye.

(Symptom of ILE - someone makes a small point - a neurotic becomes defensive - the posse is formed to attack - the newcomer leaves - it's all safe fluffy clouds).

robotman, Monday, 27 January 2003 16:13 (twenty-three years ago)

That Doug guy on Trading Spaces is a real ass. And where is Vern this season? His designs always kicked ass. Franks designs are friggin awful, and I don't like Hildys that much either. Now Geneive(sp?) can design the hell out of anything.

Chris V. (Chris V), Monday, 27 January 2003 16:14 (twenty-three years ago)

Robotman you are SO NOT a newcomer!!

Tom (Groke), Monday, 27 January 2003 16:14 (twenty-three years ago)

Music is way more than a hobby to a lot of people and it can be a serious issue - more so than some interests I guess, because you have to listen to it all the time. I don't think it's selfish to be upset over this situation.

I have seen relationships struggle when one partner suddenly decided the other was obsessed and silly to fly to the UK to see a band, when previously they saw it as a fun adventure. One girl I knew made it clear she didn't want her bf to see his music friends anymore - she refused to come out with them and made him feel guilty for buying records. What kind of a game is that?

It's pretty unfair to insist that the partner stops playing records because you suddenly lose interest, when you knew how much a part of them it was to begin with. Compromise is fine to an extent, but personally I couldn't stay with someone who made it a huge issue because it's such an integral part of my everyday life.

Chris, I hope things work out ok. You can always write her a song *and* take her out for a nice evening. I mean, I may play records all the time but I'm always up for a gorgeous bouquet of flowers or a nice meal too.

elisabeth k, Monday, 27 January 2003 16:16 (twenty-three years ago)

Yes elizabeth but it's better to admit you're not that into it than feign an interest surely?

Tom (Groke), Monday, 27 January 2003 16:18 (twenty-three years ago)

Im not attacking. I just don't like the fact that my marriage was labeled as shit and me as selfish. Because I'm not by any means. Yes, I will continue to take her to dinner and buy her flowers (I do that now). And no I don't take her to clubs.

Chris V. (Chris V), Monday, 27 January 2003 16:18 (twenty-three years ago)

the posse is formed to attack...
I'm in the posse??? Oh, joy!

Sarah McLusky (coco), Monday, 27 January 2003 16:19 (twenty-three years ago)

Soon it will be the size of Hammers posse Sarah. You must practice your running man.

Chris V. (Chris V), Monday, 27 January 2003 16:20 (twenty-three years ago)

Did I call your marriage shit? This is why I'm not bothered with ILE. I've gone through some trauma. I realised that beyond my friends that I've made on here and have met in real life that well ... this board is actually unrepresentative and unrealistic allegory of life.

Still think your comment was selfish, Chris.

Now this will go either two ways: mocked or cocked.

robotman, Monday, 27 January 2003 16:22 (twenty-three years ago)

There is a third way...

Colin Meeder (Mert), Monday, 27 January 2003 16:23 (twenty-three years ago)

Chris V is greater than UNIX breasts?

Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 27 January 2003 17:30 (twenty-three years ago)

As Gareth addressed upthread - this board is for entertainment purposes only. Please keep that in mind when discussing 'life'. Fuck knows, I do.

robotman, Monday, 27 January 2003 17:30 (twenty-three years ago)

Chris V is very much greater than UNIX breasts!

Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Monday, 27 January 2003 17:31 (twenty-three years ago)

i meant to type something after that and it disappeared.

Chris V. (Chris V), Monday, 27 January 2003 17:31 (twenty-three years ago)

but less than or equal to real breasts.

Chris V. (Chris V), Monday, 27 January 2003 17:31 (twenty-three years ago)

this board is for entertainment purposes only. Please keep that in mind when discussing 'life'. Fuck knows, I do.

Why should we all agree with your stance, though?

Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 27 January 2003 17:33 (twenty-three years ago)

To become emotionally involved with ILXOR.com is to yer detriment. Yer life's problems are in fact entertainment for bored office workers.

Is that wrong?

No.

Is it wrong to actually pretend it is something more?

Yes.

*This does not apply to people who are friends in real life.

robotman, Monday, 27 January 2003 17:34 (twenty-three years ago)

Is it wrong to actually pretend it is something more? Yes.

Again, why?

Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 27 January 2003 17:35 (twenty-three years ago)

heheh, now you should really print this off and show it to your wife;)

gareth (gareth), Monday, 27 January 2003 17:38 (twenty-three years ago)

i know. someones about to get neducated.

Chris V. (Chris V), Monday, 27 January 2003 17:42 (twenty-three years ago)

Frightening thought!

Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 27 January 2003 17:44 (twenty-three years ago)

I can relate to this issue - my wife and I met because of music (we met on the Indiepop List, as Momus immortalized in song). As the years have gone by, she's stopped being obsessed with music, preferring to keep it as one of her many interests. Meanwhile, I continue my obsession. We had some pretty major arguments about it, but have eventually made peace with the whole thing. She knows she's always invited to come to shows with me, and knows I won't hold it against her if she stays in. And she's up for hearing new bands as long as she doesn't feel pressured about it.

Really, I don't think you can "make your wife like music again" any more than you can "convert" a loved one to music you like. There has to be two willing parties involved.

mike a (mike a), Monday, 27 January 2003 17:52 (twenty-three years ago)

Plus having a mate who's not quite as music-obsessed as I am provides a good reality check - a healthy reminder that music doesn't have to be 100 percent of my life. I've already let that tunnel vision deprive me of some good experiences, cultural and otherwise.

mike a (mike a), Monday, 27 January 2003 17:54 (twenty-three years ago)

*This does not apply to people who are friends in real life.

Loo-cozade (Cozen), Monday, 27 January 2003 18:33 (twenty-three years ago)

great thread doomie and gareth. I wish i could pretend to work but today it wasn't possible heh.

Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Monday, 27 January 2003 18:55 (twenty-three years ago)

I know I will probably have to burn in Hell for eternity etc,etc for this post,but one solution for the more open-minded folk could be(and I said COULD)a bit of the ol' recreational chemistry.Since discovering the joys of disco bikkies,I have learnt to appreciate music and good company far more than when I was a drinking man.Having calmed down a lot since about 1999,I have enjoyed many good weekend nights at home,in the company of friends or,as is the case at the moment,just with my partner.We both like the same sort of music,and have some incredibly deep conversations,sometimes going on til sunrise the following day.I'm sure that a few of the people who frequent this board will know what I'm talking about,and there will probably be just as many who will slap me down for daring to suggest such an idea.It's only a suggestion made from personal experience,and I am in no way endorsing any illegal activity.The internet is a global thing,and people's attitudes to these matters differ from country to country,so please don't instantly assume that I am a bad person for my view.The occasional evening at home with a bottle of wine is one way of spending time as a couple.This is my way of enjoying the same sort of atmosphere,it could work for you too.The main point to remember about MDMA is that it gives a hieghtened sense of sound and colour,so music takes on a whole new role when you are buzzing.A bit of creative lighting and some mutually agreeable tunes,and a pleasant and sometimes incredibly intimate time can be had.

Like I said,just a suggestion........

Eugene Speed (Eugene Speed), Monday, 27 January 2003 19:01 (twenty-three years ago)

(chuckling at the thought of suggesting to my wife that we take E as a solution to our differences in music appreciation)

mike a (mike a), Monday, 27 January 2003 19:24 (twenty-three years ago)

Sorry this is not so much about Chris's question, but Elisabeth's: "Why is being obsessed with music only ok when you're 21?" I don't understand this either. What could be a fading of love for music might be confused with a fading of a youthful lifestyle?(t-shirts & shows & internet groups, great things that might eclipse the actual band/music itself!) but not a fading of the genuine love, if only for the fact that when you're older you have more responsibility and cannot just take off on a road trip to see some show. Both my parents are in their fifties and music is the one great love they can share together, but then they have always loved music rather than just "liking" it. Do you think this same reasoning would apply to a love of reading or is that a different thing altogether? That makes me worry...that someone who proclaimed to love books would suddenly stop reading at 30, because it is time to let go?

Genevieve, Monday, 27 January 2003 19:24 (twenty-three years ago)

There is no way in hell that I would ever stop listening to music. I guess its not as important to her as it once was. To me its still up there. And always will be. My wife and I don't take drugs anymore either, so that wouldn't work.

Chris V. (Chris V), Monday, 27 January 2003 19:27 (twenty-three years ago)

I don't think anyone could accuse Marcello of not loving music - I think that the way one loves it, separately and intensely, may well change.

Tom (Groke), Monday, 27 January 2003 19:40 (twenty-three years ago)

Well, I am late getting to this thread but I am a huge music lvoer and my wife isn't. I mean she doesn't hate music, she occasionally buys a CD of her own (no need to really given my collection...), she likes some of the stuff i listen to but sometimes she wants to watch TV or something. Sometimes she will come out to a show with me, but i don't force, i have no problem going alone or with friends instead. So it's good to have 2 stereos or 2 tvs maybe. Also, relationships are compromise. So find some other stuff that you can do together sometimes, and sometimes she should listen to music with you (or put up with record shopping or whatever), and sometimes you should listen to NPR. You know all this though I'm sure. I think what nathalie said is true though, women like music (and other hobby type activities) somewhat less than men in general. I think the best solution in these cases is just make sure you have your own spaces. You don't have to spend every minute together when you are married, that is for sure.

g (graysonlane), Monday, 27 January 2003 20:32 (twenty-three years ago)

Neither my drummer's wife nor my bassist's gf come to our shows (well bassist's gf used to but I guess got tired of hearing same songs over and over prehaps??). I think that's due to their not liking music as much as their significant others. My bf goes to all my shows and mine to his unless we both have them on the same night. I guess some people are ok with being with someone not as interested in music as they are, but I can't imagine it.

Sarah McLusky (coco), Monday, 27 January 2003 20:35 (twenty-three years ago)

(Sarah, did you mean to imply that you have two boyfriends? Hee hee.)

Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Monday, 27 January 2003 20:37 (twenty-three years ago)

Ok, I was getting a litte carried away...
Let's see, what is "prehaps?"
And what the fuck does this mean:"My bf goes to all my shows and mine to his..."
ahhh... nothing like Monday afternoon at work...

Oh, but yes, Dan. Of course. I have 2 bf's and I have to juggle going to see their bands' shows.

Sarah McLusky (coco), Monday, 27 January 2003 20:40 (twenty-three years ago)

And what the fuck does this mean:"My bf goes to all my shows and mine to his..."

You have one boyfriend coming to your shows and another boyfriend who goes to BF#1's shows for you!

Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Monday, 27 January 2003 20:42 (twenty-three years ago)

Ahhh! But of course! I had forgotten!

Sarah McLusky (coco), Monday, 27 January 2003 20:45 (twenty-three years ago)

Chris if I were in your situation I would go with my wife to Anthony's on Shrewsbury Street and eat gnocchi and drink chianti and just chat and enjoy mutual love.
It seems that part of the stress comes from being at home, so get out for a nice dinner instead! I am not trying to delegitimize your wife's complaints, nor yours, but, well, it is WINTER in WORCESTER, and you need to make a point to get OUT and avoid cabin fever!

Aaron Grossman (aajjgg), Monday, 27 January 2003 21:13 (twenty-three years ago)

Ronan (Ronan), Monday, 27 January 2003 21:28 (twenty-three years ago)

hehe Chris I think we went through this a month a go on another thread. I used to go to Clark in Worcester. And what's more, I only joined ILX last summer, in between my sophomore an junior years. About a month into my junior year, I had to leave Clark and Worecster. During that month, I was going through a lot of shit, and I believe you had just gotten married, or were in the process of doing so. I really wanted to have a FAP with you and anyone else up there, but, as you can see the timing was fucked!
Also, I don't, and never did, work for Anthony's, but it is my favorite place and if you haven't been you should go!

Aaron Grossman (aajjgg), Monday, 27 January 2003 21:31 (twenty-three years ago)

Chris did I freak you out?

Aaron Grossman (aajjgg), Monday, 27 January 2003 22:12 (twenty-three years ago)

no, not at all. Never thought there was an actual ILXor so close. Too bad your not around anymore.

Chris V. (Chris V), Monday, 27 January 2003 23:58 (twenty-three years ago)

The only thing that this thread has left me wondering is why the fuck doomie keeps coming back to ILE after going on and on repeatedly about how he's leaving. Dude, stop crying wolf and FUCK OFF already.

electric sound of jim (electricsound), Tuesday, 28 January 2003 01:26 (twenty-three years ago)

so, what did your wife think in the end chris?

yeah spill the beans man

two years later and she likes the music again.

stripping to adam ant would do it for anybody im sure.

So glad Chris, but godamnit, what about the other question?!!!

Panther Pink (Pinkpanther), Wednesday, 28 September 2005 14:56 (twenty years ago)

these days she's into some decent stuff too...

HEM

Lupton Pitman (Chris V), Wednesday, 28 September 2005 14:57 (twenty years ago)

the answer to that other question is nope....figures.

Lupton Pitman (Chris V), Wednesday, 28 September 2005 14:57 (twenty years ago)

My gf is much the same. She would rather watch tv, however. Not NPR. She likes listening to WFMU (I think? college station, anyway) in the car, but mostly because it's always new to her and different... or old jazz singers that she feels nostalgia about. In the car, everything sounds better, even on a stock piece of shit Ford Focus radio. However, when we have people over and the wine breaks out, she always wants me to put some music on in the background. She likes it a lot then. She just can't be bothered with it otherwise. It's somehow become just "my thing"... fortunately, she likes all the new music I buy, which is generally jazz, blues or dj/electronica type stuff.

I think people "outgrow" lyrics more than anything.

George Bush Knows Your Pain, Wednesday, 28 September 2005 15:04 (twenty years ago)

Aww bugger!

Oo, I love Hem and no one I know EVER talks about them. Now I have to look up Great Lake Swimmers.

She even dances to this little part in "When It Flows" by GLS.

Hard one, this. How about stop being so shallow and petty and let her get on with things? Is your relationship built on more than just 'a love of music'? If it is not and this is a major problem for you - maybe divorce and marry your local record shop? Sorry. This is how I'm reading it. Sounds like you've got deeper problems and maybe you should look more closely at your relationship.

my wife doesn't really like music anymore. although she likes the new broadcast album. and she decided last night that she liked bob dylan. frankly I'm starting to hate all music now too so it's not all her fault.
