Men are.... boys! Some grow ... others just get taller and are bigger boys! You do what makes you happy and enjoy it and make lots of friends with other women who enjoy it too. He doesn't understand.... or doesn't want to... and thats ok. His choice. You two may not agree about this.... but thats ok... you don't have to agree with everything another person thinks or says.... but you should respect each other and differing outlooks. Good luck and keep on quilting... its so fulfilling in a world that is sometimes dissapointing!! Bev (Been There!)
