@Kaarme Nah, none of the wifes of people who into models I know tossing their models out.
One just has kids, so either models are for kids and only way later he gets to do something with them - or at best one model a year for him personally.
Other actually together with wife was building models and stuff, wife even had made them a public display elsewhere once. But they kinda stopped it later sadly. Finances also hit despite not having kids.
Running family is tough, but I think some josei setting could work
