Do you have this problem?
Mr. M --
If there's one thing that drives most of us men nuts it's a wife or girlfriend who incessantly whines about our individual hobbies, whatever they may be. Some women just have an irrational resentment for a husband with an avid interest in anything other than her! Worse, they'll stop at nothing to keep you on a tight leash!
Do you honestly think that your wife would be any less resistant if your hobby was golf or Friday night poker with the guys?
There's another issue here and that's respect. You are an individual separate from your wife, and vica versa. You're married but this doesn't mean that you and Mrs. M. have to be stuck together 24/7 like Siamese twins. You have a right to the hobbies that interest you. If your wife doesn't share your interests and doesn't respect your right to pursue what you enjoy, or wants to be downright nasty about it, tell her to pack her suitcase. See ya!! Time to call in a good lawyer at that point.
Either you take control of the situation or your wife will take further control of you. In the latter case, any respect she may have left for you will go right down the drain. Period.
