I know that shelling out $150 to $200 for their wife's hobby is daunting for most men. But consider what you spend on your hobbies. My husband continually complained about the money I spent on my quilting(hundreds) all the while he was spending thousands on his machine shop. When he passed away, I bought a long arm quilting machine(thousands).
He is gone now and I don't regret one penny that he spent on his hobby. Consider how you would feel if you didn't have your wife to spend one or two hundred dollars on.
