I should also include scope widowers in this topic also.
We have all heard of golf widows, the poor unfortuate spouses of those obsessed with the game who rarely see their partners (except on the golf course). This must also apply to spouses (girlfriends/boyfriends) of amateur astronomers.
Has anyone found the secret of softening the blow when one tells ones partner that they will not be home tonight, or are attending a weekend workshop in Galway for example?
Is there a perfect excuse? :evil:

ps not that I have this issue, quite happy to have me out in the garden all night - in the rain !!!
