My Dh never says anything about my fabric collection or continued purchases. I'm not sure if he really even notices. He has never said anything ever about my spending on anything but several years back he took over the food shopping when our 3 boys were younger saying that I had enough to do with 3 little ones but I knew what he was thinking. He didn't realize food was so expensive and he felt this would lower the bills. After a few weeks he started cutting out coupons. He still does the shoping and I don't mind. I make out the list and he buys.
