Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 11:46:15 GMT

DEAR ABBY: My husband and I have no kids. His family (sister, cousins, etc.) hosts family gatherings two to four times a month. My husband and I both work. My own family does not have many gatherings.I have a hobby I would like to pursue, and I’m considering pursuing it more deeply when I retire. My husband complains that I want to spend what’s left of our weekend on it.I can’t seem to get across to him that although I like his family, I don’t want to see them to the exclusion of my hobbies and our collective interests.

There are other activities we do together, although we don’t have a lot of time for them given his family events. How do I get across to him that he should be supportive?
