I'm so glad you got your music back! What an epic return, with Peter Gabriel! We're about the same age, and I also listened to Peter Gabriel ad infinitum, and those songs take me places. Sounds like an incredible show.
I feel the things you give up (and regret) in awful relationships, and I feel the joy of loving music with someone else.
I'm thankful every day that my husband and I agree about where most of our discretionary "fun" spending goes - live music. We have tickets to FOUR concerts in October and are both equally giddy.
I got chills reading this. 1st Wave is the best! Our joke is when any 80's New Wave (especially Kate Bush or Annie Lennox) is playing, Mom is in a bad mood and needs cheering up. My husband doesn't love New Wave and has some questionable taste, but he's mostly supportive of my music. Not as much as I like, but I'll take it. Music is so important, and I'm so very glad you got yours back! Seeing Peter Gabriel would've been epic, especially your location. So very glad for you!!
In the car, our detente default is 80s Top 40 and occasionally 70s Top 40. Outside of that, my wife and I aren't even in the same musical universe. That's okay, though. We'll always have Tommy Tutone and Looking Glass in common.
I gave away my cats. My sister said "don't do it," I said "he can't help it if he's allergic." She said "hmmmm" (spoiler: she was absolutely right. in my defense i gave the cats to a girl who wanted to become a vet, so I think they are ok). Here's to partners who say "yes" even if they themselves aren't necessarily fans (as w/my husband who happily came to The National with me & about 1/2 way through said "you know *all* the words." ). Love this post, love Peter Gabriel, too, while we're at it.
I saw him several years ago on his Us tour. His concerts are absolutely transcendent. I’m so glad you went and found your music again. I would go see him again in a heartbeat.
Music bringing you *together* to both appreciate and expand your respective tastes should be on every person’s checklist for their relationship. I listen to the Beatles and heavy metal because my s.o. likes them. And it’s good for me to expand a little. Luckily we are in violent agreement that 80s alternative music is the best music :)

💜 my husband isn’t as much of a music fan, but this was one concert he agreed to go to with me! I’m so happy for you and your re-found loves!
Fuck. Yes. All of that. 🤗❤️🤞
