Yeah my boyfriend and I have very different hobbies. I don't get excited over his collecting, bowling, soccer, fishing, etc. But I get excited for his happiness, enjoyment, and when he gets excited. He does the same for me. Listens to endless horse, snake, and art talk and just enjoys that I'm happy, even if we don't enjoy the actual hobbies the other one does. I actually got him into fishkeeping and motorcycles so we share those hobbies now.

I'd just sit her down and say this is what you really want to do. That you enjoy it and it makes you happy. She might not understand that. I'm sure if she did she wouldn't object.
Aaa, I don't want to totally derail this thread, but I just wanted to say that you should try out the customization thing if you like working with your hands. I actually have an MFA and have always been artistically inclined and TBH, sometimes I think about doing some customizing and selling again. I had painted a few resins and done a lot of custom plastics a while ago and was really deeply into that hobby for years. It brought me a lot of joy and there's a lot of incredible craftsmanship in it. Give it a shot!
