Lol….Heidi, you have a gem!!I understand the guilt thing v well.I make it a point not to lie, but the final straw with me ex was when I
started lying about how much time I spent with the horses each day and how much
everything cost!

Unsupportive spouses
Seems to be a trend, I had the non-horsey husband the first time
around, he blamed the divorce on the horse, however, he had a severe denial of
alcoholism. So, sorry, I wouldn't join him in HIS passion. His
addictions were so severe that 2 years ago he took his own life. My
new(ish) husband doesn't ride, but he digs fence post holes, feeds and takes
care of horses left at home when I'm at a ride, listens to me do the horsey
talk and even seems to get some of it. He likes the horses and enjoys
watching them interact with each other, even has his favorite. I added on to my
barn and wouldn't you know it, I have an extra stall that was put in for
shavings. While it was being built he looked over at me one day and said,
"you don't fool me, that 5th stall is for your new kiger
mustang." Of course I denied it!! :)
Last week I gave him the news that I may be leasing an arab mare and
breeding to a kiger. Since I had the first A-hole that made me feel
guilty every time I spent my own dime on my horse, it is tough to break the
guilt-ridden habit, but he only smirked and then helped me look at stallion
photos and actually made a well thought out decision on which one he'd use and
why. I was at the Albany Horse Expo yest. (w/o him) and on my return
babbled for hours over the horses, the people, how I got to see the stallion we
both like, AND......... I got information on my new 3 horse slant with living
quarters that I will be getting next month. He just hugged me and told me
he loves me!!! (It's just a damn good thing I have a good job, and that
he thinks I'm hot!!! Somehow that makes it easier!)
