Sorry, but how many hobbies does he have and what do they cost ? how many years have you taken care of him? I would let him find out how much you paid and be proud of how much you saved not buying the new one. I remember one year when I was new to quilting I actually spent 3000. on fabric and stuff for sewing. I now spend almost nothing on quilting. I am far from rich and my DH just said ' if it's what you like dear'. He has always been very supportive of my one hobby and vice versa. There should be no guilt about living and doing what you love. Hope he will be reasonable with you.
peace
EDIT: ICON, very funny!
