It's not just an issue of where you spent your time and money. It's a matter of she does not accept your hobbies. "Do what I want you to do." Now if she had just said "spend less time/money on coins" it would be negotiable.

That question is very easy to answer: "LOVE ME, LOVE MY DOG"! the girls out-number us, so that gives us the edge!

If she were the right one, she would understand you spending a reasonalble amout of time with your hobby.

If she were the right one, you would be spending a reasonable amount of time with her and a resonable amount of time with your coins.

If she were the right one, you wouldn't be asking this question.

You need to find someone who loves and understands your passion as much as you do.....or see if you can get her more involved in your hobby....maybe easier said than done,though

As a female, I must say that I find that type of female EXTREMELY irritating. These tend to be the same women that eventually say you have to choose between your friends and her, your family members and her, your life and her. These types are never really satisfied. Even getting rid of the coins would only be a temp. fix as eventually she would pick out something else her low-self esteem tells her is competition for your time and love and she will want those things gone as well.
I think if you have your house so full of coins, binders and supplies that there is no where to sit and eat or sleep or walk, then by all means clean up to make her comfortable. If you spend 10 hours of day in transit and working, 8 hours sleeping, and 8 hours on forums and playing with coins then she also has a point and you should rectify your schedule to include her.

Otherwise? She sounds selfish and over needy and is not the "one" anyway. This is just my point of view. I would not give up my coins for anything less than life or death situation of a loved one. And no one would ask me if they want to continue knowing me. lol

It all depends on how much time you actually spend online and with your coins....If you spend more than a couple of hours a day doing these things,then she probably has a point...

"If I give up my coins, I will need another hobby...how about hanging out in bars and spending my money on drinking?"

Ultimatums are BAD unless it's like the one my wife recently gave me---

"Would you hurry up and choose...the 40" Samsung or the Sony 37"? If you don't choose in the next 30 seconds, we don't get either one!" (I had been comparing and drooling for nearly two hours!)

PS my wife is glad I have a hobby that works as well as an investment portfolio and keeps me out of trouble!

I almost just went to bed. I know I should have gone an hour or so ago, but the wife just said. You better get to bed, you have to get up early! So I thought I'd stay up long enough to vote.

Keep the coins.
Rest in Peace
