Roller...lad....

NEVER tell them until they're pregnant with your child. I fear for this relationship now.

well sometimes you dont have any choice about telling your missus about your obsession especially when your bedroom used to look like this and then the next morning she asks why do you like Transformers so much?





FYI normally there would of been a coulple more TF posters on the wall in the above pic

Me and my missus were friends before, so she knew what she was getting into when we started.
She isn't really happy that I spend money on Transformers and Lego, although she will happily play with either

This thread split of the Questions by newbies thread.

Collecting TFs is a odd thing to bring up on a date but if it's going to be serious relationship and if they are going to see your bedroom you're not going to be able to keep it a secret for long.

For those on the board dating guys there is the advantage that guys tend to remember being into Transformers themselves as a kid and will tend to think it's cool (well more so than girls, women members of this board excluded of course!).

stares at JuzMel...does Yong remember Transformers?

I've never really had to tell any of them. I've been w/ the misssus for almost 3 years now and that's about the length of time Ive been collecting TFs. She eventually found out after we'd been going for 6-7 months. it kinda crept along slowly. I think there were signs but I never made it much of an issue but since about the 1 and 1/2 mark year of our r/ship, we shop a lot together and me for TFs much more. That's probably been helped along a lot by the fact that I'm buying from retail nowadays whereas before it was purely eBay for vintage stuff.

My ex before that knew about it for the 5 months we were together but probably a month or two in.

Given the way my bedroom has changed (far more TFs in it) in the past 2 years, I suspect hiding it as easy anymore. If I got single again, I'd really need to consider some serious redecorating...

Everyone (including me) seems to have the Deeps Space 9 model kit

She already knew I was a transformers fan so it wasn't a shock when more figures started to mysteriously appear around the house. Besides which her room is littered with plushies so the TF collecting on my part makes her feel like less of a child relative to my awesome self.
