It's called communication and being adults. If your significant other is that derisive/antagonistic towards you over the hobby, you need to reexamine the relationship and talk to them about that, not play it off like "ha ha married life am i rite".

One of the most adult comments i've come across on these forums.

I've found that involving my wife gets her interested and becomes something more that we can share together.
If you are spending to much and have to hide it from your wife then maybe you are spending too much? If she doesn't get it and you are sound financially then talk to her and explain your rational while comparing it to things she enjoys.
