Finally it dawned on me. I said " Why don't you sell all the fish you catch? You have spent so much money on rods and reels and gizmos and clothing and gas and a trailer and you have nothing to show for it." He nodded his head and said "Now I understand".
I wish I would have thought of that a few years ago. I finally got through to him!
I congratulate you on the smart analogy you gave your husband. Wish I had thought of that with my husband and his lack of understanding on my love of fabric, quilting, etc. Of course he has spent lots of money buying computer programs, updating his computer, etc. Oh well.
