My husband’s seemingly harmless hobby has turned into an obsession. He’s missing work and it’s driving us apart. Do I have to accept it? Ask Lisi
My husband is obsessed with cars. He talks about cars all the time, watches car stuff on TV and the internet and even goes on trips to see special cars at special events. Usually the locations are fun, so the rest of the family can enjoy the vacation time.
Cars are taking over my husband’s life and getting in the way of our relationship, not to mention our family life. What do I do?This is definitely the first time I have ever received a question like this. Having a hobby or strong interest is healthy — it gives you a focus in life outside of your relationships, your family, your work. But if and when those interests turn into an obsession, the positive has now turned negative.
Now I’m worried: what if living with my boyfriend doesn’t work out? Will my mom let me move back home? Or is she so happy I’ve left that I can never come back?Your sign off, and your concerns, give me reason to believe you are feeling very anxious. About what exactly, I’m not sure. There isn’t enough information here. My guess is you aren’t quite ready to have moved out, and you’re worried that living with your boyfriend isn’t what you hoped it would be.
