Understanding and Tolerance: How a Wife Views Her Husband’s Model Interest
In daily life, it is not uncommon for couples or lovers to have disputes due to the inability to respect each other’s interests, especially when one party is addicted to expensive hobbies, this situation is more likely to worsen. However, recently a Japanese female netizen named Tomomi Ikeda shared her views on her husband Akiya Ikeda’s interest in model making, unexpectedly winning a lot of praise from netizens.
Tomomi Ikeda’s husband is a light novel writer and also a passionate enthusiast of robot models. He once spent 63800 yen to purchase the lower body of a robot model, and was even unsure if the upper body would be released.
This behavior may seem incomprehensible luxury to the outside world, but Tomomi Ikeda expressed her profound understanding and tolerance for her husband’s interests.

Husband’s Interest: Lower Body of Robot Model
Tomomi Ikeda shared how she gradually understood her husband’s love for robot models. She said that although she is not particularly interested in robots, through long-term interaction, she gradually realized that model toys are produced in one go, missed the opportunity to purchase, and may never be able to buy again. Therefore, when a husband sees a model he likes, he must immediately make a purchasing decision.
She gave an example: In April 2023, a robot toy called “Grand Dion” was released, which was a huge robot that was up to 45 centimeters tall, but only the lower body part was released at a price of 63800 yen.
What’s even more interesting is that the specific release date or whether the upper body will be released was not announced at the time of release. This means that model enthusiasts need to purchase the lower body first and bear the risk that the upper body may never be released.

Understanding Husband’s Interests: Loving makes people happy
Tomomi Ikeda admitted that her husband’s behavior of buying expensive models often makes it difficult for the outside world to understand, and some people even ask her, “Can you really accept it?” Regarding this, Tomomi Ikeda has her own unique opinion. She believes that instead of questioning her husband’s behavior, it’s better to envy him for being able to find what he loves and be willing to spend money on it. This kind of love brings great happiness to her husband, and she envies it.
In contrast, Tomomi Ikeda herself stated that although she also enjoys some luxury items such as high-end restaurant packages, travel, or accessories, she is not as eager for something as her husband and is willing to spend a lot of money without hesitation. This made her feel envious of her husband’s passion and satisfaction with the model, and therefore she fully understood his interest.
Tolerance and envy towards interests
Tomomi Ikeda believes that many people may not be able to accept their partner’s interests because of their inner “envy”. She pointed out that if a partner’s interests do not affect the family’s financial situation, then spending money on interests is not a problem. On the contrary, it is a source of happiness and satisfaction. She encourages people to try to discover what they love and enjoy the pleasure that comes with this pursuit.
She summarized, “When you see your partner spending money on things they love and feel satisfied with it, if it doesn’t affect your living expenses, then the problem is not spending at all, but how to make life more interesting.” Tomomi Ikeda’s viewpoint has gained praise from many netizens, and many believe that if every couple can be tolerant and understanding of each other like her, conflicts and disputes in life will be reduced a lot.
Balance between Interest and Marriage
The story of Tomomi Ikeda shows how couples can resolve conflicts caused by interests and hobbies through understanding and tolerance. She not only did not feel dissatisfied with her husband’s expensive interests, but also envied him for being able to find things that make her happy, and was willing to pay the price for it.
Through this open attitude, she provides a revelation on how to balance interests and life in marriage: respecting each other’s choices and allowing everyone to find happiness in their own hobbies. This understanding and tolerance not only maintain the marital relationship, but also add color and joy to life.
