    What does she like to talk about? make an effort to find out, engage her in conversation about that or those topics , and you might find her attitude will become more positive to your interest

    works for me

    Tried that. I think she will just have to deal with it. Just like i deal with her disgusting smoking habit. :) And im only getting a 20g for now. Wait till we pay off our credit cards and I save up more money by donating lol. that 20g might become a 200! :D

    Once she starts to see the amazing corals, inverts and fish....she will likely be persuaded to enjoy the hobby too. My wife was the same for awhile then she became mesmerized by the beauty of the ocean. Now we can sit there and romantically stare at our tank together instead of watching tv.

    Well since she is not a wife and you don't have to cut everything in half I would just move on to another one. Trade her in for a late model. :) J/K
