I'm wondering why you made this question gender-specific? It sounds to me like your H is hoping you'll "channel" some of your energy in other ways, and stop "bothering" him for sex. I'm the HD in my M, and I have LOTS of interests, always have, but would ML 24/7 if W would. I took up a steady hobby about 3 years ago, aeromodeling, and the funny thing was that for the first couple of years, W actually objected to this. She seemed to resent the time I spent with it, even though I still spent plenty of time with her and the kids. The time I spend with her is mostly in front of the TV. Last year we were in C, and the C also found it strange that W had such objections to an innocent hobby, so W dropped it - she doesn't complain about it any more...
