If it wasn't for the fact that it was around 25 years ago I'd have bet dollars to donuts on it being cryptocurrency, lol.
I think LW and their wife should talk it out but I also think the fixation on this being the only hobby they can ever have is something to explore/unpack a bit that isn't really touched on in the advice. I understand hyperfixations are a thing, but to me there's often a way to "feed it" without engaging in the thing directly. If it's a sex thing, could they pursue writing or reading erotica about whatever it is? If it is motorcycling, could they build models or miniatures of motorcycles instead? There might be something hobby adjacent they could do, it doesn't have to be 100% balls to the wall "we fuck in the chicken costume or get a divorce".
