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

If it’s a shared interest fine otherwise need to explain that need some space

It depends what it is - if he is trying to organise my craft/sewing room then I do get quite annoyed with him as he would if I tried to organise his shed! But if it's something like the gardening I would be grateful for his help and would enjoy working together on it!

My DH is a golfer so doesn't have time to get involved in my projects - and I won't start playing golf, and that makes him happy.

My husband, of 52 years who died 2 years ago, and I always did everything together...We shared everything, from me crawling under floorboards when he was doing any plumbing/electrical work, to him doing the sewing up baby cardigans which I had knitted. It kept us close to know each of us were happy helping each other.

I would be pleased that he was showing an interest but not so pleased if he tried to take over!

Luckily we don't share many hobbies (maybe walking) He thinks all my stuff is 'boring' :-)

I took up scuba diving when I was 50 and am now addicted. Hubby can’t dive for health reasons but he has joined me in the social activities of my dive club and we have made some fantastic new friends – win-win situation ?

Great question, I am fiercely independent so would not welcome it at all, I like to have my own thing! That said, it’s never anything major just my own exercise routine or diet plan...nothing huge. My hubby knows me well by now so it’s fine & he has his own things too, works well ?

In lockdown he has virtually taken over the kitchen and I’m enjoying the break - so no, I don’t mind at all!

He’s learning Spanish - I’m a languages teacher & am so happy that now he’s retired, he wants to share in one of my passions - I have to be careful not to correct him too much!!

He doesn't we have clear boundaries in what we both provide and bring to the table and do not tread on each others toes a happy combination no bickering over whose turn and keeping count of who has done what life is too short - appreciate the things that are done for you be appreciated for your efforts stick to where your strengths lie and you will both enjoy each others efforts

My husband tries to take over/advise (!) whenever I'm doing anything, cooking, sewing, painting, gardening, whatever, unless there is sport on the TV in which case I have peace and quiet and can just get on with it. Can;'t wait for the footie to be back on.

Always happy to share with him. You never know how long you have so make the most of every minute!

I don't like that and I would ask him to step back.

it always end in a row

we would try it, but I know that some of 'my' activities are my stress busters, and, for him to join in would negate that, I couldn't be myself.

I love to share with him

I don’t have a partner if I did I would get annoyed but keep it to myself or try to . As it important especially if it something very differcult it shows if your partner butts in it important and lovely they care

What’s his is mine, and what’s mine is my own. ♥️

I boss him around so he loses interest. I'm not usually bossy.

Anything practical!!

Invariably, they're better at it than I was...!!! Bah..!!

I smile and share as always....!

Not a problem - don't have a partner!

It's great to share x
