It would be nice if all husbands were so perfect. But, that is sadly not the case for many men.
I am not talking about my situation. I'm talking about those men who cheat or verbally/physically abuse their wives or children. That is just so sad to me.
For some women, no matter how much they try to be the 'perfect wife', it makes no difference.

When I started decorating my husband would do the same thing as your husband did.. that did not discouraged me as I found a thing that I really enjoy doing... After a while of decorating he notices that I have the potential and now he is very supportive of what I'm doing.
So my advice, don't give it up. Keep going until you get to the point that he will get used to it and even support you for what you do.
Lisa,
I'm glad that you are sticking with it and that you are treating your husband respectfully. I totally agree that marriage is a partnership and that your partners opinion should count for something. I'm glad that you asked your hubby about the class before you decided to take it. I always tell my kids that they should treat others as they would like to be treated. It not always easy, but in the end it is worth it.
Good luck in everything.

Hey jelligirl...I'm so glad that you clarified what it was that you did not like that I had said. Let me see if I can clarify... In scrapmomof3 post she stated that she was already married and that her husband did not support her in her cake decorating ventures. He did NOT tell her to stop, just was not overly enthusiastic with her taking this hobby on.
By my statement I over exaggerated the possibilities of an attitude of selfishness and rudeness that overtime could lead to the destruction of her marriage. I'm assuming that she would like to stay married and in the marriage there is a lot of giving. In no way is she to be treated as a doormat or a maid or a mindless droid.
As a woman with children, a marriage between a man and a woman is ideal for raising a family. There are attributes that a woman brings to the family and there are attributes that a man brings to the family that benefit the entire family!
I did not want cake decorating to destroy this precious union that this family has.
Now life is not perfect...and we don't all have the privilege of marriage or staying married. I grew up in a family torn apart by divorce at a young age. I saw my mom who loved us so much struggle for us to get by. She had to work to pay those bills and the house which she got to keep. There was NEVER dinner at the dinner table because work had exhausted her and making a full dinner...well it is a lot of work. I had lots of Burger king happy meals. There were times when we would stand in line to receive government cheese and rice. When the tree fell in our front yard and crushed our fence , it stayed that way for about a year. My mom did not own a chainsaw...my dad took it when he left! I could feel my mom's pain of all the hard work she had to do for her small family to survive. I helped around the house as much as I could.
Looking back as we(my mom and I) talk about the past she tears up wishing that when us kids came home from school..she was there with the smell of fresh baked cookies. She wishes that there were hot meals at the dinner table. She wishes that things would have worked between her and her husband. Her situation was one of physical abuse. So there was NO way that the marriage could have worked. She protected us by divorcing my dad.
If you are single and loving it...think about your kiddos..are they loving it too? Are they? If they are then you are truly in a unique situation and are blessed.

I'm sure you didn't mean to come across as judgemental, but this last statement could really be interpreted with a... dang, no other way of saying it, this is sounding harsh (and not in a supportive way, but in a demeaning way). I think everyone has a different situation and does what they can with the situation they have, just as your mother did. We all want for something more, it's the nature of the beast to strive to do better. Better for some does not necessarily mean the same as better for others. JMO

hi rhondie,
i am glad that you clarified where you were coming from...your story mirrors mine exactly except for our dads...mine passed on...i know all about the cheese line LOL...
as far as my daughter goes, she is of the age where she can understand the reasons behind it (she will be 18 in may) and she realizes that out of all of the drama, she was my number 1 priority...
i am happy for you that you have the love that you want and i am as equally happy for all of my single sisters out there...
i am in a committed relationship and things are just fine
Crystal
