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

Depends on what it is and the level of involvement. In turn, I have felt almost elbowed out and other times welcomed the interest.

I've only been with my current partner 6 months so we do share everything right now. I'm happy for him to get involved

I don’t mind because I know he will get bored sooner or later so I let him get it out of his system

When my partner takes up an interest I have had for a long time, they soon become an “expert” in whatever it is and start giving me helpful tips about how to do it better. I can find it annoying or just smile and agree.

Would have liked him to get involved but he never wanted to

My Partner is very good at doing everything and I'm happy for him to be involved and helping in something I consider to be mine... he usually does a better job than me !

I am happy when my partner gets involved with something that is mine because it shows that he takes an interest in things I do. I am disappointed when he doesn't show interest.

I like sharing with my partner so I let them join in in whatever is "mine"

Nothing really, we like to share.

I really don't mind, as long as it doesn't become theirs.

He really doesn't. We have defined jobs that we've wroled out over the last 30 years and we stick to them.

I don't have a partner so I can't react. If it was gardening I would hit the roof as I like being head gardener

no problem !

I would enjoy sharing the experience with him. We like to do things together so it would be a great thing.

I’m more than happy for my wife to get involved in any interests I have It’s our 25th wedding Anniversary this year and try as I have I still haven’t been successful in getting her involved in my love of gaming - I can but dream

I love gardening but my partner tries to help by pulling up my plants saying he thought it was a weed. He also tells me off for cutting the grass to often. I wish he would find his own hobby.

I think there are some things that are shareable but I would only want to do that if it suited us both....encourage them to find their own niche too

There's nothing off limits for me. If he wants to get involved in my interests I don't mind. If he demanded it it however, or became pushy, we would have words. lol.

Some of the time he takes over and I end up losing interest & let him get on with it.

I would be reasonably happy to share whatever it was

It upsets me! I always feel that he thinks I cannot do it on my own and need help, whereas I feel I am perfectly capable. Sometimes I get grumpy with him though I do try not to.

I would love my partner to get involved with something I believed was mine, as she has been dead since the 4th nov 1994

He always manages to do what activity it is, and usually better than me
I bought a sewing machine to learn to sew, so far i haven't learnt to thread it Mr Northern has made curtains, and home made face masks
I tried to make a macrame plant hanger mr Northern finished it
I just have to accept hes better at crafts than me

It depends what it is, sometimes I might just leave him to it. But if he gets involved with something and then starts giving me advice and how he does it better or should be done I get very cross!

Incredible amount of mess and an inability to find anything but he’s used afterwards.
