MM,
I'll pass on your first point, I don't agree but need to give it more thought !
Your second point referring to JesM's quote, I always had that interest well before I married but I guess it got swamped with all the other things going on when you first get married . When I first came out to my wife twenty years ago I wanted that side to open up and share it with her. Lets face it most of us don't have in depth conversations about our latest power tools, so it was something intimate I could share with her, but I guess like most wives they want their man to stay manly and not discuss shades of lipstick or what to wear with her new skirt !!
I'm really not that interested in tool catalogues anymore, I have a garage full and less inclination to use them !
It's not a case of dressing taking over, I would just prefer to be able to show I'm more interested because I do enjoy it ! Rather than find another way of losing a finger in my latest power tool !
I've played the man part long enough, I have another side which I want bring out and enjoy ! I guess I'm now answering your first point ! WTF does it really matter but most of us know it's not as easy as that ! Someone has to make sacrifices to be totally out and accepted and I guess it's going to be me !!
