Zu,

I gotcha! Me too on most the Mom stuff. I am a tough cookie with a soft center as a Mom. Tough on education and behavior with a healthy sense of fun. I just recall that when I was LD in my first M I almost voluntarily submerged the edgier side of myself and immersed myself in the homier side. Something in your comments reminded me of that.

I have nothing against scrapbooking and wish I had the wherewithal to deal with our family photos. I was just looking at that particular hobby as a vehicle that could express more than one aspect of yourself. You need girlfriend time so if doing it pursuit of a hobby makes your H more comfortable go ahead.

What is up with the jealousy, mistrust etc? Something in your history there or is he just afraid that you lack connection and will be tempted because of that.
