So how do you deal with a not so enthusiastic spouse? My husband at first was interested in the snakes and even had his own king snake. He loved that snake. Then I was a horrible person and put the wrong kind of lid on his tank and he got out. Ever since then my husband really hasn't cared about the snakes.

I have a tendency to talk about my snakes....a lot. I used to talk to him about my plans and what kind of snakes I wanted to work with and he'd nod and I found out later, he was tuning me out. I have to admit, that kind of hurt to find out that I had been talking to him about something I'm passionate about and he didn't care enough to even listen. I have toned it down a lot. I don't think I've talked to him about my snakes in like 3 days.

But there are things that I need his help with that deal with the snakes. On occasion I need him to pick up feeders when I can't or more recently, I need him to help me get a website.

I feel kind of bad having this hobby and talking about it to him (sometimes a little more than I should) since he doesn't have a hobby for himself. I told him he should get a hobby and talk my ear off about it but he still hasn't found something he's interested in.

So what do you do when you have a spouse that doesn't care about your hobby?
