Another woman blessed with a man who supports her habits, I mean hobbies. :-) My husband's only stipulation is that things get used. Since my sewing machine is well used and my horse is (usually) well ridden, he supports both. The treadmill and weight machine on the the other hand are on their way out. I bet I know how I can use the space......On a serious note, many men are just insecure or they use their wife's time with her hobbies as a convenient excuse to harp about something, when really there is a completely different issue that is bugging them. There are some real jerks out there, but most men are good-hearted (slightly simple) fellows, otherwise we wouldn't have married them in the first place. Praying for you.
