You sound jealous, those are safe and wholesome hobbies to have. Could be alot worse at least he's getting out there and enjoying his retirement, maybe encourage him instead of being a Debbie Downer. 🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️

So what is the problem? He is enjoying the hobbies he chose. If the replica swords and paint balling(which is exercise) is affordable, who cares. If my wife retired and did that, I would say “good for you” and actually probably get involved in something that she likes

And?

What should his hobbies be? Waiting on you hand and foot? Maybe I should ask my ex-wife’s new husband if he’s started collecting swords and watching anime.

That sounds amazing!

your husband sounds awesome. those are all fun hobbies. you must be so boring

He should be a proper old man and collect guns, listen to Fox News and wait to shoot anyone who steps on his property.

.......what's the problem? did you want the hobbies to all include you or something? cause you asked him to invest more in himself. he did so.......so why are you complaining aside if it's not something you also wanted to be included in. maybe try and get into anime or better yet. allow him to have his own life. you both were separate people coming as one. he needs his hobbies that are for him, not you as well. time to find some of your own hobbies

let him enjoy himself. it sounds like those are all fun things he enjoys doing and they are safe. if anything you sound jealous that you can’t be out having fun like that. let him enjoy his retirement. no Debbie downers allowed

Those are perfectly sensible hobbies, if you ask me.
