Many re-enactor couples are like that.It's rare but there are couples who have come "more together" by sharimg a hobby. Rare but it does happen.

I don't even need to guess what you ended up dumping.I had a girlfriend, not a real serious one, that wanted me to dump all my military collectibles...that was many years ago!
You are blessedMy buddy's wife re-organized his reloading bench because she thought it was too cluttered. Nothing was sold or thrown out, but it took him weeks to find everything again.
Once again, I'm going to buy my wife flowers for absolutely no reason whatsoever.
As my hands lose more and more strength and dexterity she helps out with assembling trigger groups or whatever other spring-loaded machines of the devil are currently tormenting me.
Two weeks ago she reminded me to take enough cash to the gun show so if I found a Charleville, an 1803 Harper's Ferry and an 1861 Springfield I could make a better deal.
She was obviously a more serious than you.I had a girlfriend, not a real serious one, that wanted me to dump all my military collectibles...that was many years ago!
My wife use to love hunting with me, she loves nature and hiking. She never actually hunted. Then when our son was born, she took a few years off. By the time my son was 4, he was out there with us learning how to hunt. He’s now 18. He’s a hell of a hunter! I came home from work one day and his arrows were strewn about the garage. I picked them up and noticed hair and slight bits of flesh on the ends. He had removed all the target tips. I asked him what he’d been up to, he said he was in his gillie suit, getting as close as he could to the deer and was practicing shooting them. He was 8, luckily it was a little kids bow, very low power. Evidently by the look of his arrows he was hitting his target. So we had a talk and he understood that he was probably hurting the deer. That kid can get spooky close to deer and turkeys, he’s had lots of practice.She was obviously a more serious than you.
My wife had never hunted beyond following her dad around pheasant hunting when she was a little girl. When we were married she wanted to go hunting with me. I only bow hunted then and she took up the bow. Off we went for a week of hunting and she took a nice doe. When I took up the ML she did too and got a nice forkie buck. She continued to hunt with me for quite a few years. When our two daughters were very little we still took off for a week in September to hunt. When they were in School we just took them out for a week. Pretty sure that was a positive contribution to their education.
The wife eventually gave up the hunting but we still camped a lot. Daughters never took up hunting but both love to fish. The positive in all this is that they both are enthusiastic about the grandchildren hunting and fishing with me.
Sorry. Another one of my meanderings.
The phrase to remember: "Don't touch my stuff...."
I have been updating my wife about all the positive responses to my post.My buddy's wife re-organized his reloading bench because she thought it was too cluttered. Nothing was sold or thrown out, but it took him weeks to find everything again.
