I've lived with the present Mrs Syzygy for 8 years now, and she's a classically trained musician and trained ethnomusicologist. She's not a huge prog fan, but she has got into odd bits of it - Gryphon, Gong and Gentle Giant all get a thumbs up, though she's indifferent to Yes, Genesis, ELP and Tull.
She can't stand Magma and isn't too keen on King Crimson, but she's been with me to concerts by both, and Guapo. If any of you are familiar with Captain Beefheart's 'Her Eyes Are A Blue Million Miles' that song pretty much sums the situation up from where I'm sitting.

I get to make love (and sometimes to jump bones - or f$k like a beast) to prog if it is not to dissonant and disruptive. Henry Cow and Present are out during those times.

It seems like my girlfriend really hates Progressive. Sometimes we even have scandals when I have attempts to play Pink Floyd or Genesis, for example (I even don't talk about KC or VDGG).
Maybe the only band she likes at times is Supertramp... As usual Elvira (my girlfriend) listens banal pop-music, but never does it when I'm at home...

Although I do not currently have a significant other, I was very fortunate in that both my first girlfriend (lived with for over 2 years, 1977-1979) and my ex-wife (lived with for about 6 years, 1981-1987) were both natural prog lovers.
My first girlfriend was into every single band that I was into, including eight of the nine "granddaddies" of prog (PF, KC, GG, Genesis, Yes, Moodies, Tull, ELP), as well as Zappa (we were well-known regulars at his annual Halloween concerts). She and I went to all eight Frippertronics shows (including one with Eno), and had a beer with Fripp and Eno after one of them. My ex-wife was also into all of those bands, and especially loved GG.
Indeed, so "spoiled" was I by both of them in this regard that I despair of ever being able to find a significant other (in this day and age...) who will share my musical tastes. Let's hope the "God of prog" will smile on me in this regard!
Peace.

I'm just introducing her into prog...
She loves Dream Theater, and from that I've been trying to build on. I've been trying to show her the wall DVD but I've never got the chance. Rush she likes, I played her Opeth once, and she thought it was cool. The Mars Volta, on the other hand, is still a bit too experimental for her. I don't think she's ready for 21st Century Schizoid Man yet...

As for me, I'm the luckiest person on earth, I've got the most beautiful, loving, fun, intelligent and prog-loving girlfreind !  I love her so much !!! It's been almost a year that I'm with her and I'm so happy. I converted her to prog music and now she likes everything I like, except Ayreon, Glass Hammer, and Prog Metal
Imagine having a girlfreind who likes all the symphonic prog rock like Genesis, ELP, KC and Pink Floyd, All the neo-Prog stuff like IQ and Pendragon, All the 90's stuff like TFK and Spock's Beard and Even the weirder music like Italian Prog, Space Rock or krautrock ! She rocks !
I love you Marie-Eve
