Is it normal my gf doesn't want me to have "lame hobbies"
So I've always wanted to get into woodworking and building furniture or carving sculptures. I brought this up to my girlfriend of 8 months and she got really agitated with me, she said that it would be a lame hobby and she would be embarrassed if people knew I wanted to carve things.
I didn't think much about it, I'm not a very passionate or expressive guy so I just sorta brushed it aside. She later said she was sorry, but called it artistic and artistic things are feminine and to keep that to myself, she also said if I ever were to do any woodworking "No sculptures, and don't try to make it pretty"
I'm 22 and haven't had any hobbies besides lifting weights and working on cars, I just thought carving stuff would be cool
