My girlfriend thinks it's stupid, flat out. However, she is over it at this point and just lets it go. I have my own man cave in our place so it's not like she ever sees it anyway. Since I've started getting the majority of stuff of RSC, it's kind of out sight, out of mind for her anyway since I don't go out and look that much anymore.

I wouldn't say my wife's highly supportive, but I'd say she understands that it's my hobby. I also collect He-Man and G.I. Joe so it's quite the balancing act if a lot of cool stuff comes out in any one month and she sees the packages showing up at the door.
From time-to-time she'll sit and watch a RAW episode with me, unfortunately it's always those episodes that are embarrassingly bad, but I fill her in on what's kayfabe or what the dirt sheets are saying ~ so she knows Randy Bore-ton is an ass in real life and D Bry is not really with AJ but with one of the Bellas, stuff like that heh.
I've tried to get her to watch independent wrestling documentaries with me like "Card Subject to Change" or "Beyond the Mat" so she can appreciate what I appreciate about wrestling more than the show inside the ring.

My wife is good about it. Got annoyed when I bought the Ziggler and Rhodes that I already have. But overall she's great. She has Lost figures and even owns an E8 Edge. And when she's shopping with out me she always checks out the figures. She knew me for years before we started dating so she knew what she was getting into lol.

My wife actually prefers the way WWE is now. She doesn't give a crap about the wrestling, she actually likes the cheesy storylines and talking.

Well I have to say that my wife is very good with helping me find my figures when we go shopping, we have a daughter so when we go toy shopping we always get the chance to look at the WWE figures, She also didn't mind that I took up an entire room making my WWE Stop Motions. I also collect Walking Dead figures, Horror Figures and Ghostbusters, when we first got together i got her into collecting Buffy and Angel figures, She now has every figure released.
We have moved into a bigger house so in the next few months I will be turning my garage into my figure room with my WWE/GHOSTBUSTERS/WALKING DEAD/ HORROR figures aswell as my life size Freddy Krueger and Ragan (exorcist doll)
As you can see from my SIG our daughter is also a wrestling fan and loves to play wrestling moves with me, infact she is very good at doing the Hells Gate and knows to kick out on the two count.

My wife doesn't really care as long as I'm not blowing house money, just my own "fun" money.
She does get a little irritated from time to time saying the house is being taken over by little men.

My GF hates it but I think she's learned that it's a hobby I'm not going to completely give up. It's harmless. I know never to complain about being broke because she might blame it on that.

My girlfriend supports it for the most part but does get a little irritated when I spend a little too much at a time.

I have to say my GF is supportive for the most part. As long as bills get paid she doesn't care. To her they all look the same so she really doesn't know what I am looking for half the time. If she is going to a store she'll look for me but she has to call me while she is in the figure aisle so I can explain in detail what I want.
She doesn't like buying me figs for Christmas or my B-day unless if I save a pic of it on our computer so she knows what to look for or buy on-line, and If we give eachother lists for X-mas I'll usually give her a list of pegwarmers so she doesn't have to bust her a$$ finding them. This past Christmas I got E9 Kofi.
Funny story, on our 1st Anniversary she bought me a Jakks WM1 RSR, on our 5th Anniversary she bought me a Mattel ESR, weird.

She never used to mind, but now she hates it. I spend too much money on it and they take up way too much space. I live in a one bedroom flat that's got hardly any space anyway, and I've got every Elite (except RSC Bret and WM26 Triple H and Rey), DM, EG, about half of the Legends, and way more than half of the basics and two-packs. Plus lots of Jakks and Hasbro stuff. She can't stand wrestling toys now.

My girlfriend has always been supportive of my addiction. She has given me figures as presents and what not, as well as keeping her eyes open for figs I'm on the hunt for. Likewise, she thinks it's cute when I play with my figures. So yeah, she's the one.

How did you guys break it to your wives or gfs?
I tend to put off talking about it or showing off my collection as long as I can.

My wife has come to accept it. And from time to time she'll look for me while she is at the store. Doesn't mean she's fond of it, just means she loves me enough to not complain about it. Least not to my face anyhow.
