While I won't end a relationship based on music taste alone, it still has an influence. Replace the Jack Johnson CD mentioned above with NOW whateverthe****innumberwas. Every. Day. Now, the deal was I get to listen to an album and she gets to listen to an album. Fair? Not when NOW was the only album she ever wanted to put on. She kept saying I was close-minded and not everyone likes my kind of music. Seriously? While I didn't break up with her because of this, I was definitely relieved I didn't have to put up with that crap anymore.
My fiancee now isn't an audiophile like me, but she definitely knows her hip hop, which I really respect. She's also got an intense love for mid-90's R&B which I used to hate...but now I have a soft spot for it. She also respects my music knowledge and asks me questions about it. While she has her lines (I don't think Melt Banana would go over well) she generally lets me listen to whatever I want. I enjoy this.
