[quote=Anonymous]I think OP has some valid complaints. It’s not fair for one spouse to jeopardize the household’s finances for a hobby (regardless of whether it’s bedazzling garbage or painting a masterpiece). And I can understand the frustration about clutter and messes. It’s not fair for OP to be expected to clean up glitter and craft chotchkes all the time.

However, the way this frustration is vented is so disrespectful of the person her said his vows to. And there’s obviously some seething resentment over her weight gain that isn’t healthy.

I don’t know how OP can solve his dilemma, but coming from it with such anger in his heart is not going to make his wife want to change. If he really wants to fix things then they’ll sit down together and make a budget, fix up a dedicated craft space, and he’ll be happy for her to have a hobby.

But it seems like he wants her to give up her hobby and just get her butt to the gym more than he actually wants to find a mutually agreeable way for her to pursue her crafting.[/quote]
