tell him it's your hobby /enjoyment and provided it doesn't affect your other jobs, house or work why should he be bothered, presume that you don't spend money on smoking and drinking so why is he so picky; my husband is a philatellist which bores me to tears but I don't gripe about it , he doesn't spend my money on it and the exhibitions don't interfere with my life ------can't understand anyone being so selfish.
