Partner of an Otaku

Interesting question from Regis below.
Was in a meeting yesterday with some clients. I asked one of them if he watched anime. He said yes but also said that his wife didn't like him watching anime. He has to hide the figures that I gave him...

I'm very fortunate to have a wifey who understand my hobbies. Could be a different story if my hobby wasn't part of my job and a key part of my business strategy ^^;

Original text from regis below.

So here's my question of the day....

Does your girlfriend/wife/mistress/boyfriend/husband/man-whore know you're otaku or have the tendencies? If they do, do they accept it, find it weird, or join you? If they don't accept, or like your otakuness how does it affect the relationship?

I got my girlfriend tin to 5 centimeters per second, but she dislikes other anime, and often points out when I'm binge anime watching(you know like a series marathon lol) "you're watching code something something again?" or "those chinese cartoons?" when i tell her about another anime, i then correct her by saying "japanese".

So i'd say she's accepting, albeit a bit confused, at my anime love and listens when i go off on tangents on other topics like games and how epic an ending was lol.

Anywho, answer if ya like :D
