DH has a hobby he took up around the time we met. He loves this hobby and is very good at it. For nine months of the year, it takes up at least 4 1/2 hrs on a Saturday and a Sunday. Children are away at Uni now, so I am free to do other stuff too (he would happily support me doing anything I wanted and probably help pay for it), but since changing jobs a while ago I now have two hours commuting each day, to be frank I dont have as much energy to do stuff as I used to. I'm happy pottering around at home at weekends.
The extent of this hobby has ebbed and flowed over the years. There was a brief spell where he was doing it half of Saturday and all day Sunday at which point I said I would spend weekends visiting friends and told him he was taking the piss. He cut down immediately to be fair to him. It has become a sore point again for me again as more recently, until about a year ago, we used to do something together on a Saturday afternoon, and he pursued his hobby just on a Sunday. We no longer do the Saturday thing - both our choices - so this has enabled him to spend more time on his own hobby.
Just to be clear, I'm not a clingy wife, am genuinely pleased that he has a passion like this and never mind him doing it one day at weekends, or evenings for that matter. I enjoy time to myself, but think that both weekend days being spend largely apart is taking the pee somewhat. AIBU? Should I take up a hobby too?
Marriage otherwise very happy.
