Bernina ?Fortunately, my wife knew me before we got together - so she knew I was a cyclist. Was never the best chat up person ever me, but I got my lass.
She lets me get on with my hobby/sport, but her hobby is also N+1 category, and can be expensive too - she loves sewing and embroidery, and her machines match my bikes for expense, and in number (has 4) Fortunately, we tend to keep the machines, so no new purchases since having kids.
Bernina ?
My ex was a school Textile teacher, she bought a CNC Bernina that was £1400..........In 1987No... Janome that does embroidery and sewing (carbon ultegra money), a Brother Innovis 4000 that was an arm and a leg (super bike money) then a Janome overlocker, and another Janome Overlocker that is computerised (we got that hardly used, but a 400 mile round trip drive). Frightening. Especially when the missus asks you to have a delve in the inners for a broken needle....

You could download patterns (on 31/2 floppy) and it would embroider them on auto.
Made all her own suits for work too.
£500 to watch dogs humping, I could charge half that to stand in my garden and watch the dogs across the road from me few weeks ago.
I'd even throw in a chair, tea & biscuits for the duration of the performance.
She has bought a hydraulic bath which is a small dog bath that raises from ground to waist height so you don't have to bend or get on your knees to wash the dogs.......yes it was expensive.
There are schemes out there who teach adults to ride when she wants a go.she actually wanted to sit on my bike last night.......she did and decided she might want to try it one day, it's probably important to tell you that she has never learned how to ride a bike........she started looking at bikes from halfords......with stabilisers
