In the past, I would feel that way. My husband is huge into photography. He spends a lot of time taking and editing photos.

Instead of feeling like I was second fiddle, I compiled a list of things that I enjoyed doing.

1) Curl up and read a book.
2) Take a bubble bath and pamper myself.
3) Go for a walk
4) Get together with some friends
5) Paint or sketch
6) Exercise
7) Watch a movie that he doesn't want to watch
8) Try a new recipe
9) Research a topic that interests me and learn something new
10) Call and catch up with my family and long-distant friends
11) Volunteer at the local food pantry

There are endless possibilities. Looking at the situation as an opportunity for you instead of a 'slap in the face' will help a lot.
