I'm not asking that he be interested in my beliefs, I rarely even talk about it. What I would like, is that when I get excited about something I learned, that I am able to just briefly tell him about it, without being judged. That's a whole lot different in my opinion. When he's excited about a hockey game, I don't respond with " oh sports are just a silly waste of time".

All I want is to not have my beliefs put down. He talks about his, would it be okay for me to put his beliefs down? I just don't see how that is supposed to work.

I don't think him laughing at my beliefs is respectful. Which he does do. If am reading and he asks what I am reading about, when it's something spiritual he mocks it. I am not in any way being pushy, asking for long discussions, Or for him to be interested in what I am. If I cannot breifly mention my spirituality from time to time without being mocked or put down, that's a problem.

I hope that gives a clearer picture of what I am talking about. I think you misunderstood me. When you said that your husband isn't interested in your fantasy novels, but that he supports your interest and desire to learn more. Thats exactly all I am asking for.
