You're going to get a U2 Prenup?????
So far I've been pretty good about weeding out the "haters" early on knowing that if we can't see somewhere near eye-to-eye on U2 there's bound to be other issues that we won't be compatible on. 
I am married with kids and have a wife that understands that my love of U2 is part of the package. I can't say that she "hates" U2, but she definetly not a fan beyond the slight casual level.
Does every big holiday involve U2? Do you break from holidays when U2 break and then holiday when the band tour? If you say that you only go to Europe with the wife when U2 tours Europe, then I'd say that she has a legitimate complaint. Once to a few times, maybe a holiday with combined U2 tour can be special and she has obviously compromised to now to accept it to a point. The arguement being made here is that you can only make time for her if it involves U2 and you can can only make an effort to plan a holiday with her if it involves U2.
I am making a big assumption here that your wife and you have only been to certain places because U2 were there. I apologise if I am way off here.
The problem might not be the fact that you love this band. It might be that she sees you only seem to make a serious effort to experience the globe with your wife and U2. Have you done a lot of travelling with the wife that didn't involve U2?
If your wife says that she "hates" U2 and, yet, attends more U2 concerts than most U2 fans, then she has definetly done her duty to be supportive of your U2 love. Could you see yourself travelling the globe following your wife's interest and that interest being something you couldn't really care about?
I don't know you at all and I don't want you to think that I'm siding with your wife. I'm just throwing this stuff out there.
All the best to you. And do work it out.
My wife just walked in, I showed her this post.

I know you guys are only seeing my side of the issue but I desperately am trying to see my wife's point of view.
1. She thinks your wife is nuts.
2. Now I'm in the doghouse! Thanks alot, man!
You and freakin flaming C over there are ruining it for men everywhere.
I am very fortunate to have a wife who has grown to love U2 and also likes to travel. We're already starting to think about our vacation next year and trying to catch 1 or 2 U2 shows while overseas.
BTW, if you need lessons, send me a PM and I'll be happy to provide any advice.

When I first met my wife in High School one of the 1st questions I asked her was "Do you like U2"? This was in 1996 and I was really getting into UF & Zooropa. So I was on U2 overdrive. 13 years later were married and she has come to respect U2 quite a bit. She gets tired of me talking about them but she knows I'm freak.
I think your wife just needs to understand but at the same time do something or take interest into something she really enjoys. And explain U2 tours every 4 years and their not getting any younger & that you appreciate her understanding/spending time (concerts) at U2 events.
Show her the Electrical Storm video. Maybe she'll get a crush for Larry.
The truly sad thing to me is that she thought I had a mancrush on Bono when all the time it has been the Edge
My first question to someone when I go on a date: What about U2 ???
Maybe that´s why I´m still single...........
... but happy!
same here Dude I'm totally kidding. My wife and I went to Miami for the last Elevation show for just 2 days and she was cool. The only reason she was a bit miffed this time around is because I didn't bring her to the show. It was just a combo of her work schedule/money/whatever and her not really being honest ie she said oh just go don't worry about me, when in reality she really did want to be there. Next leg, she'll be right there with me no matter what she says I'll get her a ticket, and it'll be all good
If your wife cannot live with the fact you love U2 and want to spend money on it, I only see one option.
Me too - drink heavily!
I was more thinking about pot while watching U2 dvds, but your idea can be good too!
Two words
