I'd either attempt to help him discover a hobby or try to get him involved with mine. Maybe he can help you sort fabrics or threads or organize your room, or send him to Home Depot or Lowes to get you some fabulous shelving that he can install and feel that he is helping (and he will be). In turn, you decide how much time you are willing to give just to him. Does he like the movies or taking walks with you or BBQing? My compromise is that my hubby LOVES and I mean LOVES football. So I hand quilt and applique while I "watch the games" with him. I also keep up with his fantasy football team since he works a lot of Sundays.
