Which was really sad. I actually got dumped once cause of that. She was fine with the cartoons, fine with the toys, fine the video games, and all around child-like innocence. The second we start talking about kids and I say "I want a girl and a boy. One to be my princess and the other to play catch with, which is which doesn't matter to me." I get dumped. xD

Obviously I don't know the details, but sounds like you're better off without her.

Until recently, the only people who knew about my collecting were my family, housemates and girlfriend, then a couple of times recently when out with mates/workmates, the discussion has come round to childhood and the toys we used to have. I've then said I have a 'few' left over from those days, my girlfriend has then chipped in with 'he has so many he has to rotate them!'.

They've all been cool with it, often it's proceeded with a list - do you have Optimus Prime? , do you have Galvatron?, etc. The answer is always yes!

I think it's perfectly acceptable to be a geek if you don't fit the stereotype, if the first thing people find out about you is that you collect toys then that will dominate their view of you, if they first find out you're married, have kids and exercise regularly, then the fact you collect toys is just an interesting little aside.

Having said that my girlfriend met my toy collection before she met me!
