Could it be that many husbands want to be their wifes' passion but don't know how to ask?
My husband is the love of my life. He has had hobbies all his life. I never had time for them - kids, house, went to college at night, worked - all that ate up my 'free' time!
Now I'm retired, the kids are grown and on their own and I do have time. I sewed when I was a teenager and a little bit when I was first married. Then, everything else became a higher priority. So I bought myself a little cheapo Brother (which I love - it is a work horse!) and some fabric and started quilting. He is happy I have a hobby, but had no idea how much it would cost!
We just enjoy each other and are happy to see each other busy and enjoying ourselves. And we definitely don't need to be together all the time or share everything.
