My wife likes G & Standard and had wind-up in England when she was a kid.
That said, when I read things like this, I always remember a York meet and standing next to a lady that collected and listening to her husband whine about "You've already got something like that, I'm bored, I wish I had gone on the shopping trip or stayed at the hotel, how long are you going to do this". She and I looked at each other and she rolled her eyes, looked at him and said "Shut up". At the time it seemed funny seeing a typical role reversal, but I've wondered about them since.
It depends on the open heart of the spouse.
