Win a FitBit and Lionel Shriver’s brand new novel - together worth over £100 *NOW CLOSED*

Usually he’ll just offer advice if asked or help if requested. To be truthful I’m actually more likely to be the one who sees him doing something and can’t help coming along and helping/interfering, which 99% of the time he takes with good grace. It’s the bossy streak in me ?‍♀️

I would always want him to be involved in what I am up to. He can be a bit bossy lol so I let him have his moment as we have very alternative interests and where it used to bother me I know he never sticks around what I am doing for long! They say opposites attract!

He takes up gardening; what a good eye you have, darling.
He takes up the guitar; what a good ear you have, darling.
He takes up cooking; what good taste you have, darling.
He takes up all the FaceTime with the DGC; What? Nooooo!

i resent it, its very annoying

I'd worry he wouldn't like it and spoil it for me.

I don’t mind as long as he doesn’t try to take over.

I would let him help as quite often his advice is right (even though I would not initially think he is!)

We embrace it together

I don't have a partner so something else I don't have to worry about thankfully!

I'm quite happy for him to take an interest in anything that I consider mine and join in

Depends - if he tries to take over it drives me mad, if he wants to get involved and share it can be great.

As long as the the thing is the cooking, i'd be happy

I no longer have anybody to annoy me and happily enjoy all tasks independently!

Depends on whether he's helping or getting in the way! Always happy to let him help/get involved.

Like having common interests - unfortunately he is sporty and I struggle with health to join him

Delighted that we can have a shared interest!

He tends to take over, so i just leave him to it. As long as the job gets done i dont really care who does it. When we do do something together, we usually work well as a team.

I would love him to get involved in something that is "mine".

Quite happy for him to become involved as he is my other half, glad he shows interest.

Have not got one but if did,and was getting on with him or her, would be glad I think, it's more enjoyable when you can share an experience or interest.

From the day we married in 1978 I became we so nothing is exclusive. Often we have tried each others activities both in and out of the home, some we have continued with, some we have relinquished happily.

I always 'allow' their first interest , let them start on their own with my interest and if they really are 'in to it' they will carry on with it, another convert to my hobby/interest, is always a joy.

Sadly not a problem I have ever had, so I really can't answer that

Annoyed big time, for years I do things one way and all of a sudden it’s not the right way ? but compromise is the name of the game I suppose or not!!

He just wouldn’t which is fine with me.
