I believe the question was poised to people who's spouses/partners wanted to learn programming so I'm not sure why this reply even exists except to make people feel bad.
I didn't say it to make anyone feel bad. It was just the opposite point of what the OP had asked. Beside the fact, the question is clearly not directed in the assumption that their spouse wants to learn programming. It was directed that OP thinks they would like it so they tried to get them into it.
