[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had the same issue OP and it's still a struggle.  I was spending hundreds every month on crafting materials.  A close family member died so I justified the spending as therapy.  I have two shelves full of fabric, a cricut, six sewing machines, a hoard of paint and canvas, yarn for days, a bunch of stamping materials, etc.  The people at Joann's knew me on a first name basis.

I do think crafting is great therapy but it is so easy to over spend.  She may be doing it out of depression also.  I realized I was just buying craft stuff to make myself feel better but the feeling was temporary.  I would suggest you both consider therapy. [/quote]

I don't see why OP needs therapy. It's the wife who is thoughtless and empty-headed. But you're right PP, that the wife appears to be emotional spender because who can blow that much money at Hobby Lobby?[/quote]

He also mentioned he has issues with her weight. Sounds like they have deeper issues than just crafting. [/quote]
