Pawn stars - Transformers Collection

My bad. Fixed.

Wife: "Honey, I'm pregnant and I'm keeping the baby. We need the room and the money so you're selling your toys."
Husband:

This sort of thing is why a non-negotiable condition of any living arrangements I have is my own room, with living together being a duress thing for negotiations purposes. It's my space that I can escape to and deck out how I want - including shelves of Transformers - and guarantees I don't end up sleeping on the couch after late/drunken nights out, or when any Grasshopperettes are down with the flu or somesuch.

Exactamundo! Most blokes need their man-cave. Apparently it is part of male psychology. Some blokes have a room full of sports memorabilia, other guys have a pool room, some people have their garage, some guys retreat to the garden (yardwork) - for me it's my TF room.

Also, $5000? WTF? Maybe $5000 for the Fortress Maximii, but really...$5000?[/QUOTE]

Dunno. You hear stories like that. It could also be that the dislike started after they moved in and started a family.

Surely you'd know what you like and dislike about your partner (and what you can tolerate and what you can't) before committing to cohabitation and starting a family.

I hate to burst your bubble on relationships Gok, but there are people like that.

Indeed...

I agree. It is really unhealthy. But it happens. People do stupid things when "in love."

Yeah, that typically happens during the 'honeymoon' phase of a relationship and you're trying really hard to impress your partner. But you'd think that the pretense would be dropped by time you get to the stage of making a long-term committment to each other.

Heres a question, If he had 2 rooms of Transformers like this why not put up some shelves and display them properly in one room instead of on the floor in 2 rooms?

Cos that'd make sense!!

Everyone is different. Every relationship is different. Everyone has a different way of seeing things.
Some people look at others in fine detail and scrutinise the relationship they have and the person they are with for marriage potential, others have shot-gun weddings in Vegas with someone they just met.

There are also bound to be things you don't know that you don't like until you try them. Living with someone is one of those things. Since some people do not live with each other until they get married then they will not find out about things they don't like until they get married.
Again, she may have thought having a room full of old toys was fine and not going to bug her. But then after walking past that room everyday for, I dunno, say a year, she is sick and tired of them and wants them gone.

As for the honeymoon period and starting a family. Some families are started during the honeymoon period either by choice or accident.

So it is possible and reasonable to say the transformers didn't bug her when she got married to him and when she first got pregnant.
Now they need a room for the kid and it does bug her.
It is a perfectly normal thing to happen which may or may not have been in their control. But it happened and they are in the situation they are in.

I say bravo to him for putting his unborn child ahead of his toys.
Maybe not getting rid of everything, but that is what the second room might be for. He might be planning to keep one of each and put them in the second room to free up one for the kid.
