There are all kinds of women out there. Quite a few have a distinct dislike for anything
that takes attention away from them. Especially hobbies. Came close to getting married to a lady
like this. Dodged that bullet! Luckily the one I did marry likes pinball and we play
them daily. But she is like the OP's wife with other hobbies (classic cars and ham radio).
Cannot understand the allure and get constant flak about them. Gets frustrating sometimes.
