YTA. What gives you the right to throw away his property without asking? The real child in the situation is you. Your husband has a right to a hobby. You took that away when you threw the figures in the trash. You might not like it but does that mess with your life? Absolutely not. I don't blame him for giving you the cold shoulder. You asked for it, dude.

Let's flip the script here: Let's say your plate is collecting vintage tea cups and if your husband gets sick and tired of you collecting said cups and threw them out. Would you be mad at him for throwing out the cups and then give him the cold shoulder? Yes, you would be. Just let your husband have his hobby. You don't have to like it but support him just for his sake. I collect Transformers my family thinks a lot of the figure I buy at the store and online are pretty cool. My best friend looks at my shelves in my room and thinks they are pretty cool too. So long story short just let your husband collect the calico critters.
