I am fortunate to be blessed with a wife who is very much supportive to my hobby. Model railroading is also socially a very well received hobby in my country, but still there are folks around belittleing grown men playing with trains. I have seen couples splitting up due to the hobby, but in these cases the reason was not the hobby itself, but excessive MRRing, soaking up any free minute. I find it difficult to give you any advice, other than telling YOH (your other half) how important this hobby is for you. Take her to a train showand let her see some well made layouts. I have not met a laydy who was not fascinated by the scenery, the little figures and cars and all that what makes up a layout - without the trains. Maybe she develops an understanding for the hobby, and while not participate in it, has a good respect for the skills and abilities that go into it. Try to maintain household peace, but remain firm in your endeavour!
