My wife says pursuing my hobby will end our marriage. Let’s call it, hypothetically, motorcycling

I’m towards the latter stages of my career and have also raised a large family over the last 25 years with my wife. I don’t have or find much else of interest outside work and my immediate family, but I’ve been increasingly keen to take up a hobby that I used to have before I got married. For the sake of this question let’s call this hobby, hypothetically, motorcycling.

My wife has no interest in joining in this hobby and also does not want me taking up this hobby, ardently enough to get to a place of saying it’s a choice between marriage and the hobby.
