Well, I've come to accept that I'm radically different in many ways from
the "common" person you might meet on the street. So I think anyone who
isn't already turned off by my differences should be understanding of my
conlanging tendencies (whether or not she appreciates it is another
matter).

In my case, I've a lot of other things that she would want to know about
before I get to the conlanging part :-P

Well, I can't speak for anyone else, but in my case, I think that if she
can put up with my other "vices" already, she would probably have no
qualms about putting up with the conlang bug.
