Does your spouse have a hobby or interest that makes life more complicated?

Maybe the complication is just watching them running around doing everything it takes to participate in the hobby. Or, he asks you to help him with it and you don’t want to. Or, it costs money you don’t want to spend.

I’m interested in how it makes life more complicated and how much it bothers you.

My husband loves cars and car racing, as many of you know. For the most part I don’t mind, and we have made great friends participating in the sport. But, it also comes with worrying about storing the cars, it’s expensive, and getting the stuff done that needs to get done can be a bunch more chores. I tend to be more simple life oriented, while my husband has more stamina to do whatever needs to get done to have what he wants, and he wants more. It has made him more successful than me in many ways, I’ll give him that.

Some of my friends and family make comments on how annoying his hobbies must be. I don’t feel overwhelmingly annoyed. But, it does add some stress to the mix no doubt about it.
