How well does your partner put up with you using the house as a workshop,
bits of electronic components getting trodden round the building, asking
her/him to RRF in the middle of the night because they are taking up too
much space in bed ;-)

All those late nights spend debugging code instead of sitting down with your
hot chocolate and watching a good film, coming to bed muttering about
interrupts, stack overflows and "whose stupid idea was it to use page
banking".

My ex-wife was terrible, she had no patience with my tinkering. Stuff would
get mysteriously tidied away never to be seen again. Chips would look like
they'd been trodden on, tools would be used to open cans etc.

Current girlfriend is wonderful. She pays for my hobbies (I stay at home and
look after a child with ADHD), rarely complains, totally ignores me when I
start talking about electronic stuff and its only when she steps on
something sharp that I really get it in the neck.

How do your partners cope ? ;-)
