I can sympathize with this.

My husband would be very disapointed if he wasn't allowed to read my
stuff.

I like to save his imput for the line edit stage though.

I think my husband is a little bit disappointed but a little bit of
disappointment is easier to live with than what happens if he
reads what I write.

He tries to *help*. He suggests plot ideas. In this we are
not in sync. (We both read SF but not the same books.)

My kids sometimes read what I write and it's not a problem
at all. They give me very simple feedback like, "write more
of that mom, I want to find out what happens."
