[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A few issues here, and we do not know enough about the situation but:    I am a crafter and I love creating but you can look around your house and use supplies you have without overspending at Michael’s.  I hate waste and clutter and am basically a minimalist.

A.  If you are a crafter and do want to go the Michael’s route, set a budget together.

B.  If the issue is more dislike and contempt and crafting is just a stand-in (and could just as easily be hobby a, b, or c), then own that. [/quote]

This. I’m not into crafting either but for people who are, clearly they enjoy it, and that has value to them. I am not a professional musician but I spend a lot of time and money on my instruments. Who’s to say that’s any better use of time?

If the wife is keeping the clutter in her craft room, then who cares. If the real issues are the money and time spent, then set a hobby budget for both of you - and OP, your gym comes out of that - and talk about spending more time together. [/quote]
