Because Wife Math says:
X = ideal number of guitars
Z = current number of guitars
therefore X = Z x 0

Re: Wife said too many guitars
Well, I would say two can play this game–shoes alone and don't even get started on jewelry
lol
If your guitar buying is hurting your finances then she has a point as a couple.
If her spending is hurting your finances then the guitars are not the problem.
If y'all are just in a bind and need funds (not because of wasteful spending or any specific fault,) then both of you should check on what can be sold/cut to help. Marriage is a partnership in life, both should work together.

IMHO; the "too many guitars" statement is nothing more than a control issue/power struggle in the relationship...if there isn't a financial strain being brought on by purchasing said guitars.
Disclaimer: This opinion is based upon the experience of a man who has had two marriages-a "first" marriage and a "last" marriage.

+1. Does it work both ways: does the OP get to tell her she has too many shoes or clothes? If not, he needs to figure out who's wearing the pants in the house.

In this gender-sexual-political currency system, this is power that I'm simply not going to trade away. Keeping it has been expensive for me, but I'd like to think that, in a healthy relationship, it wouldn't have to be.

Glad I live alone.
I remember my ex saying that I should sell a guitar or two and buy her something nice. And then after we broke up I bought a new guitar.

The house must be too small and can't fit the guitar.

Re: Wife said too many guitars
It's pretty simple actually - some "partners" go gaga because you play an instrument, want you to write them a song, etc and "support your hobby". That is, until they realize it is an actual hobby/passion you have - not some means you came up with to seduce them - and God forbid you'll be unable to give them less than 110% of your attention span (only a measly 99%).
That's why I stay out of any romantic relationships - I don't need someone that's just going to have unrealistic expectations for me, and try to micromanage every aspect of my life. F that ****. Keep the guitars as long as you can afford them, and you're not wasting your partner's money. Trying to change people and what they love is BS.

Or it's a joke thread and he used it as an excuse to get them all in the living room for a photo.
Like we need one.

Re: Wife said too many guitars
Not all spouses are anti-guitar or anti-hobby. My wife is very supportive. My guitar stash went from a couple modest instruments to well over a dozen with most being higher end or booteek instruments. She's never encouraged me to downsize and has even tried to talk me out of selling gear I didn't use. She's been supportive when I disappear for a week to go to guitar workshops and didn't object when I attended one over her birthday (and our kid's first week of school).
I realize that she's exceptional in that respect but she's also proof that not every significant other is going to try to eliminate music from your life.

Re: Wife said too many guitars
Every single man needs a hobby/passion for his own well-being, stress outlet, and peace of mind - and, so long as it's not causing a strain on family finances nor causing him to neglect his husband/fatherly duties, the smart wife will strongly encourage a passion in music. So long as it doesn't become all-consuming nor harmful in some strange way, music is an exceptionally healthy outlet. And much, much better, than getting a younger secret girlfriend...
