Too many sapiosexuals at the office. In addition, the random drop ins at night (stalking) and 02:00 texts in the morning got old really quick. Especially for my wife :joyful:. In all seriousness, if any of you guys/gals are single, maybe don't start the conversation off by talking about the difference between the bust styles on your eastern and western Septimius denarii. My wife is indifferent to my infatuation. I take care of the finances, so she doesn't really care about how much money is spent. I consider myself very fortunate to be in the position I'm in. I've always left the idea on the table, that if she found something of collectible interest, that we could start investing in it. We've bought a few 18th and 19th century books, but that fizzled out. I just asked her opinion after seeing this thread, to which she replied "When you first started collection ancients, they were very interesting for the historical value; but after the hundredth one you showed me, they all look the same." I fantasize about her wanting to collect ancients with me. Pretty pathetic compared to what other men my age fantasize about. -Michael[/QUOTE]
