[Rhodes22-list] Non-sailing Spouses (was Vancouver, BC)

[Herb Parsons]

I'm curious, why is she a "decidedly non-sailing wife"?

My wife "went along" with me on the sailboat thing, until I did some 
things that made her enjoy the experience more. I'd be curious hearing 
from the list. I'm sure everyone's spouse or significant other fits into 
one of three categories:

1 Decidedly non-sailing
2 Ambivalent about sailing
3 Enjoys sailing

If your spouse is in category 1 or 2, what is it about the sport that 
keeps them from moving up a level? If they are in 2 or 3, what are you 
doing that keeps them from moving down a level?

Face it, if your spouse or SO participates in your hobby, whatever it 
is, you will get to enjoy it more. If he/she does not, you'll often be 
faced with the decision of leave them behind or leave the sport behind. 
Neither is a good choice.
