My Wife/ Significant Other is Tired of My Obsession With Mycology

If I say the word Mycelium around my wife she just rolls her eyes and shuts me out. The funny thing is she went to college for biology and chemistry so I guess I thought that Mycology would fascinate her . Anyone else in this boat?

I've noticed I talk a lot about drugs recently but mostly because I am fascinated with what we were lied to about and most people's ignorance on the subject. I don't talk to "normals" about it though. Mostly the people who I could trip with.

My wife is no where near normal she is quite amazing! I've tripped with her a couple times and we both like to smoke and drink that's why along with the science degree I don't understand her disdain with my hobby

Hm, that is interesting actually. Do you mostly discuss the science of it?

Yeah I have asked... she actually has shown more interest since I've gotten more into the science of it, she still hates the word mycelium

Does she feel you're a fucking annoying amateur when it comes to biology?

No she said I'm quite smart the other day I went to college for botany and am quite knowledgeable in agronomy. Just don't think she cares about mycology

Well, either way, it should be pretty easy to work around this, no? Discuss mycology and mycelium with your shroomery mates, and blaze & booze with the lady! Sounds like a pretty great arrangement!

My wife is ambivalent about mushrooms but wanted nothing to do with pot growing so I stopped growing that and now I just buy the shit over the Internet.

She probably wants you to spend more attention on her and less on mycology would be my guess.

i don't spend that much time on mycology and she has her own hobbies, like i said i'm not complaining that's not the purpose of this thread... i was just posting a question, maybe obsession was to strong of a word honestly it was kind of joke cause we talk about everything even mycology, but if i say the word mycelium she rolls her eyes...

My girl is just very unsupportive and has no faith. But when I turn out some really good flushes she really excited to eat them.

My wife is not sick of it, but i am not allowed to grow anymore because i went and got married and as a homeowner, i can no longer do it. But when it is legalized, my wife gave me full permission to grow as much as i want.
My wife did get sick of all of the pots and pans being used to strain ryeberries and a room full of tubs with mushrooms popping off. The best is when her parents came over and saw everything. My wife was embarrassed, i was proud.

I wasn't allowed to have more than one tub at a time and it had to be in our bedroom, because of parents coming over and my wife knew I didn't know what I was doing, but then I got good at it and she said I could dedicate a room to it, she peeks in every once in a while but that word mycelium usually ends in her just walking away.

Well. You yourself called it an OBSESSION. So is it? Are you literally obsessed with mushrooms? Does it take up a large majority of your day and your thoughts and dreams? Do you ever forget important things like dates you booked or your wedding anniversary because of your obsession with fungi?

Haha I know that feel, OP. I am in the exact same boat. I thought my partner would really enjoy my hobby, seeing how she is way into microbiology. But no, it's just drugs apparently. :p

Sounds like you shouldn't use the word mycelium so much. I find that some girls get hung up on words and do not like them like the words moist, and cunt.
Talk about other stuff once in awhile and get interested in some of her hobbies.
Don't make her think you have a one track mind.
Seems like you got it good with your relationship you just have to find a happy medium where you don't drive her crazy with all your fungi talk.

yeah i've stopped saying mycelium really i don't need relationship advice we've been together for almost 15 years (we were teenagers). we talk about lots of stuff but when she comes in my grow room she's gonna hear fungi talk i really don't take it out of that room... this thread was kinda a joke that another member and i had laughing about how our wives love the fruits but get annoyed by our hobby no matter how little time we spend doing it or talking about it.
