I don't think so. We're discussing how to convince a non-ham SO to be willing to allow expenditures on things that totally disinterest them.

There is at least one person who has posted on this list that he and his SO have an, "equal money for hobbies" agreement, and he needed to spend some money to even things out.

In my case, my wife is a ham, but not interested in radio technology. She just, "Wants it to work" and does mostly emcom. She is interested in fiber arts, so I'm the local spinning wheel mechanic. I knit as a part of keeping the relationship together. (And to have socks that fit.) I once knit her a sweater using yarn that she had spun, if that's not too self-referencial. She doesn't complain when I spend money on ham radio stuff, but I try to be reasonable.

Now to somehow convince the CFO and chief cookie counter

Get her interested in sewing machines or looms. I NEVER have to ask my XYL about
buying ham gear!
