My husband lets me spend as much of our (very limited with two little kids) free time writing as I want, never hassles me about hanging out with him, never minds when I disappear for hours with my laptop. That, to me, is supportive of my writing. He understands how extremely important it is to me.
He's read exactly one thing I've written, after it got published, but that's because I feel weird about sharing my stuff with him. I'd rather give it to CPs because I don't have to wait for/stress about getting their opinions in real time. He is awesome about helping me brainstorm plot problems, though, especially the action-y ones.
I do agree with the posters above that this sounds like a validation thing, and I wonder if maybe there are some other underlying insecurity issues?
