I can't remember a thread that has disturbed me as much as this one does..... my thoughts are with you and your wife.. I hope you can work it out either way.

I agree with get bent. Try outside help, and even IF you guys can't work it out and get divorced. I think it would still be better if you could sort some things out and part from eachother without so much feelings involved.
My girlfriend has never made any suggestions like that. We have been together for 5 years now (Im 28 she's 30) and she knows how much I love my guitars and my music, although she cant play and have other interests than music (she likes animals). I buy and sell guitars anyway (while I think it's fun to try out new gear... not for the profit... cos there is none
) , but I have some guitars that I'm just not parting with and she knows how important they are for me... and repects that. Aswell as I respect how some other things are important to her. I think mutual respect is an essential part of any relation, and if you don't have that I am truly sorry for you.
I still think you should take some outside help, so that even if you decide to go seperate ways you can do that with mutual respect for eachother. At least for the kids sake.
Be strong, we are with you in spirit!
