I have to say, I am really surprised by the number of posts reporting the same or similar problem, marriage is about equal partnership, each partner has rights and responsibilities, and I can't begin to fantom why a partner feels that he has the right to be not respectful about your hobbies and passions, especially that you say you are doing your best to spend time with him, which by the way, in my book, spending time in front of a TV is as far as it gets from quality time. There seems to be a lack of respect IMHO, and that is really bad for any kind of relationship.
I hope you can get your problem solved, and reach a respectful compromise.
