depends what it is! but it's great to share

What happens when your partner gets involved in something you consider to be yours?

After 40 plus years of working full time, and surviving illnesses, I embrace each new day with my husband who survived colon cancer 2 years ago, I treasure each day we have together, I have more patience than I had, so if he want to spend time 'in my world' I embrace the time, give positive advice, laugh at the mistakes, and praise the achievements.

Not relevant as happily single

When hubby gets involved in my kitchen, cooking moves from tasty to scrumptious ;-) x

i would relish his imput , may not agree but certainly would listen

We very often do things together I wouldn’t have problem with him trying out something that was mine, yea who plays together stays together

I tend to do all of the cooking, washing etc. but my partner had to take over when I broke my leg last year and my ankle in February so he has had to step up again and prepare the meals, hang out the washing and go collect the shopping. We are both self isolating so all shopping I order and he collects if we can't get a delivery slot.

As long as he doesn't hinder my activity it's fine.

I was the gym bunny in the house. A couple of years ago DH decided that he too needed to start doing some exercise so joined the gym with me. It's done him the world of good as his job is sedentary. It is/was nice to go together although I missed sometimes just heading off on my own for some 'me' time.

He takes over! Over the years, I have learnt how to control his enthusiasm and guide him towards giving more of his attention to “interests” that I want to give up.

Lets just say sparks could fly!!

I'd be totally amazed and delighted. In 35 years together I don't think it has ever happened

This is making me wonder if he’s lacking a curiosity gene, as he’s never shown any inclination to meddle in anything I’m involved with!

I do not have a partner.

My hubby and I share everything together. We have been together 33 years , hardly ever argued and always shared,

He takes over, which can be most annoying

We usually end up falling out

We do have some pastimes that the other is not interested in, but if my husband wanted to get involved in some of my activities I don't think that I would mind overly. We do plenty of things together and on the whole I think it's good for couples to have some time doing something 'as an individual'.

I mostly like it, its lovely to spend time together, it is hard to cede the reins sometimes but then their are benefits as i can sit back and enjoy cooking more and the garden! i do always feel i will be the authority though!

We have shared interests and we have a passing interest in each other's pastimes and hobbies, but if my husband got involved in something of mine I'd likely never recover from the shock! He thinks my genealogy hobby is mind-numbingly boring.

I am more than happy for my husband to be involved in something that is considered mine. We tend to do things together because we enjoy each others company so it wouldn't be a problem for me ?

I usually offer to make him a cup of tea and tell him to put his feet up. He gets the hint!

We get extremely competitive. We play games on wii sports resort, and I used to be really good at bowling, beating him all the time, but he's getting better and I'm not, not good vibes, sad to say

i don't have a partner. my partner is 4 legged friends.

I start something ..he comes along and gets involved ..so I let him ..it’s great, means I can go read or do my Jigsaws ! ( married 40yrs and it’s always been like that ?)

I don't mind my husband joining in but when he tries to take over something I have planned to start and do then that's when the arguements flow. He can complain that I don't help in the garden but when I do he is almost standing by the side of me . He will place different tools by the side of me , a box of bone meal will appear then the lawn mower will be out as he frog marches up and down with it whilst constantly glancing over . Midway through he will sigh and stop, prompting me to put the kettle on which gives him the ideal opportunity to inspect my work .
Whilst we sip our drinks he will plan an agenda for us both to do.I wanted some quiet me time - not a garden supervisor with a list a yard long .Out comes the deck chair , a calming glass of wine . I give up .
