My wife makes jewelry. I am sure that there are many other “Jewelry Widowers/Widows” out there, and are faced with the same situations. Does your partner spend almost every free moment involved in the process of making jewelry? From the actual making of the items, to the photography of such items, and then putting them on the computer on their web pages.
I appreciate that my mate wants my opinion frequently about her artwork, and I do really mean art, but have you ever been in the middle of something requiring great concentration, ie; a football game in the final seconds, reading the great novel, or saving the world from asteroids when suddenly the newest creation is put in front of you for your comments? I find that I must pay close attention to the presented item, and also the questions asked. I do not want a sneak question coming up on me, such as “Does this necklace make me look a) too fat, b) too thin, or c) does it go with any other item that may be mentioned.
I like to think that I am very supportive of my wonderful wife, and am truly impressed with many of her beautiful creations. I have found that at times she will even listen to my input, for I have seen her make suggested alterations. There are times when I am sure her inquisition is purely perfunctory, as any comment I can make seems to be unheard. I was even informed that I was allowed to blog about this, and sothis is my first blog.
Considering that, if I am never heard from again, it is because I have been banished, or worse. There is always the great and universal "Husband’s Answer" to any question: “Yes dear, you’re right, I’m wrong, I’m sorry.”"
