My husband and I have been married 38 years. He doesn't complain about anything. He used to make crappy remarks about me reading half the night, but I told him a story I overheard at church. Two seniors[ladies]were talking about their husbands griping about their reading and other hobbies.The husbands thought they were being selfish and didn't want to sit and watch THEM watch TV. Well, one lady replied that she couldn't wait until her husband died so she could do what she wanted. The other lady agreed. I went home and told Hubby it is a shame that you can't be happy and would sit around waiting on someone to die to enjoy your life. After that he NEVER says a word about what I do. He takes me to quilt shops when we travel and encourages me to have a hobby. I raised my family and worked part-time so it's my time to enjoy life without stress.
