Should I or shouldn't I do the I Ho Chuan next year?

My husband has always been very supportive of my interest and time spent doing Kung Fu.  He dosen't whine about never going out on Friday nights or the weekend practices and/or performances, he mostly just adjusted his schedule around my commitments.  But I must admit that when I told him that next year there will not be Friday classes and it will be moved to Thursday night he was pretty excited.   We can take motorcycle trips next summer over the weekend now! was his response. This comment stopped me in my tracks.  I guess I just got used to his support and stopped appreciating the fact that its not just me that makes sacrifices for Kung Fu and the I Ho Chuan program.   I felt pretty bad ... I mean really he has always worked hard and made sure that the girls and I have everything we needed.   His/our ballroom dancing is a one day a week thing with occasional weekend events and we have rearranged this many times to accommodate my kung fu.  Kind of unfair if you balance the scales on this.  So am I being selfish?  should I take a break from the I Ho Chuan? ... it is a big commitment!  We talked ... he is optimistic about the new schedule, we will be taking more motorcycling trips, and he is on board with me continuing with the I Ho Chuan for 2016.  (This is because he is awesome!!!)
