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

What a loaded question! Define 'gets involved' Helpful involved partner or sudden critical expert? Some things are exclusively hers (i loathe long trips round the shops) and some exclusively mine (she is not keen on long distance cycling). But we share many other things like reading, music (though slightly different tastes) and she is gradually turning me into a reasonably good baker! Oh, did I say that I love her? I do

I would be thrilled that he was showing an interest

I don't think he would want to crochet or dressmake but you never know if the Sewing Bee inspires him.....

We've found that some of my work and hobbies suit him well such as ironing, which he is brilliant at. He's a worried man cooking though and stands staring at the cooker throughout the whole time he's cooking, so we agreed that's not for him.

he does try to take over and show that he can do things better but i usually prove him wrong .... well except when it involves DIY and building flat pack furniture as i am not too brilliant at that !

I would get annoyed, but would just talk to him and we would sort it out eventually.

ll lets loose until I give in

whatever mines usually his and vice versa thats how our marriage works if not we would discuss why the other one would want to use it

It can be difficult to let go of something such as cooking, but it is always about balance. When my DH retired he took on most of the cooking, mostly successfully but we have had some strange combinations of flavours!

Really happy to share my interests with him. I think it's nice to have company and someone show an interest .

Unfortunetly my Husband died 18 Months ago so i wish he was here to get involved

I love it when a partner wants to get involved in my hobbies and interests, it shows they want to spend time with me, and strengthen our bond.

As I have sciatica, my partner helps out a lot, If I am well, I do everything, If not he does x

I get frustrated when my husband trys to take over my stuff as I don't get a look in when he interfers.

I dont mind sharing things with my hubby, we dont hide anything so its no problem

It's usually pretty amusing

Happy to share!

It can either be productive in a 'two minds better than one' way, or annoying in a 'they knowbest' way.

I like my husband to get involved and show an interest. It’s more fun doing it together.

I don't mind sharing interests, a shame that they aren't as keen to share chores though!

I would love it, he rarely takes any notice of my hobbies and interests

I suggest nicely that he might want to do something else!

I have one of those husbands that likes to know everything ...in some ways I learnt to live with it and some things i tell him the boring bits until he loses interest himself

Love playing games

It really irritates me and feels like an invasion of space when my partner gets involved in things that are mine!
