I think that right now both of you don't understand the other.

You're trying new things in an effort to better yourself. It's hard to try new things. And it's especially hard for you to do this with someone close to you being so unsupportive.

From her point of view, you're scaring her. Suddenly you may be changing. You're going through a transformation and when you're done, you may not be the same person she married.


The two of you need to have a deep discussion on this issue. Reassure her that you're just trying to be a better person (and a better husband). Try to get her to ask questions about these things so they don't seem to "weird". And then she needs to understand that even if she doesn't agree with everything you're interested in, you still need her support. You don't need to tell her daily each new thing you've learned and she also doesn't need to be unkind to you when she does occasionally learn about your progress.
