My DH has accompanied me To quilt shops when we're out of town, but stays in the car or goes to a guitar store if ther's one nearby. He and I appreciate the creative outlets the other enjoys, but there's always "parallel play" vs crossover into each other's hobbies. He never says "buy whatever you want" because A) I would , and B) it's not his nature . Honestly I never go wild on purchases. One time I shopped for 45 minutes while waited in the car and only came out with a fat quarter. ""That's all you bought?" He says with a shocked look.
