Sounds like that divorce is long overdue.
Why do some people think it's ok to try to quash the interests and
passions of their spouses? An even bigger mystery is why said spouses
would ever marry someone like that.
This is why I made sure my wife had seen my *ENTIRE* collection
(including all three storage units I had at the time) before we got
married. Furthermore my collection has shrunk in the time we've been
married, but that has been by my choice, not because she wanted it to. I
often think it bothers me more than it does her.
I'll bet it does. My (very nearly-) spouse would be heartbroken if
she saw anything she knew to be important to me go away, even if my own
priorities had changed. In my case, that's not likely to ever happen (I
understand you're pursuing different passions these days), but if it
were, she'd take me to have my head examined, because she knows just how
much I love my stuff now.
She knows that's a part of who I am, and who I've always been.
