Do you think it's because he has no hobbies or interests other than TV? Might be, but that's his problem. My DH is extremely supportive, and just recently practically forced me to buy an Accuquilt GO. I think part of the reason is that he has a hobby--woodworking--and he realizes that hobbies take time and money. I do give in a about an hour each evening and pretend to watch TV with him. I either work on binding or some yo-yo's and neither one of us in into TV that much so we talk while watching/sewing. I might mention that this is my second marriage. During the first marriage I remember when I brought home a cross stitch picture that I'd just picked up from the framer. He said "don't tell me you expect that piece of s*** to hang on our walls." Gee, can you imagine--he was gone soon after that and it hung on MY walls for awhile and now hangs on "our" walls.
