One other note I wanted to add to you GL, I have been an avid collector of Scotty Cameron putters and headcovers for over 2 years now, of course my W hated this becuase I spent so much time on Ebay trying to catch that perfect deal. Anyway since our S I have not bought anything to do with my collection, I have around 30 putters and maybe 150 headcovers, well just this past week I got my notification from Scotty's weblist and bought me some of the Masters headcovers along with the Masters Tshirt, I feel since I am not living with W any longer I mine as well do what I liked doing before I left. Now I also realize that if W and I work things out then I will not be spending time on the computer like I use to because she felt I shut her out by always being on the computer and not spending time with her. I can't wait to get my new headcovers in, hopefully I will get lucky and get on the specail 100 made, I have not been lucky yet but I'm due sooner or later. The special 100 made are worth close to $500 and they are sent out at random. My office in our house was nothing but golf clubs, I have probably 12 sets of irons, 5 staff bags and about 50 total putters, I strive to get the hard to find items that you can't find anymore. Ex: Copper Eye 2's new in the box, copper Anser 2's, Zing 2's and B60's. I always try to find something that will be worth good money in the long run. That is what I do with Scotty's putters also, I find the prototypes and his limited production models that will only increase in value in time. Now of course when I left our house, these are the only items I was able to carry, she kept all of the furniture in the house and all household goods.
Good for you and great job. My office is also quite the masterpiece of sports. (golf is one of my main passions).
When and if we can get your wife turned around, I can help you to learn how to balance your passion of golf with keeping your wife happy. Once you get how to do it, it is a piece of cake. She will actually be on the lookout FOR you in your quest for your collection. Let's not talk about that unless or until the time comes.
It is ok for you to enjoy your hobbies while she is acting like she wants out. It is actually a plus for you to pursue them. Remember to let her wonder what you are up to regarding your life. Keep your cards close to your vest. Stay happy, act happy. Enjoy life. Look for and find the good in your life. You need to be ready for her when and if she comes back. You might as well learn right now how to get and stay happy so that it is already a disciplined habit that you have control over. At this point you aren't even ready for her to come back and you and she both know it. It's like you are thinking you are going to turn pro and you haven't even won an amateur event yet in your local club or town. First things first.
