Too true!
But around here, the shoe's on the other foot. I think I'm driving my husband nuts, so here's some tips for the ladies in my position.
1 - Do not try to photograph every meal, no matter how beautifully presented your beef-wellington or patty melt is. When he says "Can we eat, already?", it's time to put up the camera. If that is simply not practical, explain to him kindly that the high-powered studio lights you have brought to the diningroom table will keep his food hot for hours.
2 - Like Dakwegmo says, at least try to show interest in things he likes. A few hours spent making photos of his motorbike can go a long way when it's time for you to spend a few hundred bucks on lenses. If you think it might help, try making those motorbike pictures blurry and blame the poor quality of your photos on the lack of the afore mentioned lenses.
3 - Give your male S/O a more active role in your hobby. This could be accomplished by regularly inviting your man to pose for a beefcake portrait or even a more intimate photo, BUT for those of you whose beefcakes are a bit lacking in the beefly regard, there is always room at your side for a faithful tripod-bearer or camera case hauler, and besides, lugging all of your gear around will maybe put some much-needed bulk on him.
