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

I am musical, I play the piano and sing in a choir. Can’t draw, children in my classes used to snigger at my attempts on the board.He is artistic, currently drawing cartoons of us to send to DGC.Can’t hold a tune in a bucket, no sense of rhythm.
Perhaps that’s why we are still together after 50 years.

He has his chocolate and I have mine! We do share though.... I prefer dark and he likes milk.

Wow I'd love it, something we could share

I love doing things together, especially if I am asked to advise/guide him. This rarely happens!

I turn a blind eye. Life’s too short!

I think it’s great & makes a change!giving me time to do other things! Like reading a great book!

We were absolute opposites and never shared anything except... that’s how we got three sons!

He ends up better at it the I am !

I do get annoyed I must admit I let him get on with it but at the same time I am gritting my teeth

a shared experience

My husband wont tread on my toes without asking me first, there are some things i want to control

I don’t think I’d mind too much as long as he accepts I have the final say!! ?

We both have interests that we are involved in. I wouldn't mind if he wanted to be involved in one of my interests as it’s good to share. But he would first check if if I was happy about it.

I do not have a competitive bone in my body. If my OH got involved in something that I considered mine, I'd shrug, leave him to it and move on the something else!

... to something else.

....nothing! Depends what it is I suppose. Sometimes I enjoy sharing, sometimes I relish the opportunity to have time to do something else. Simple

I don't mind as long as he doesn't "take over" .. but really I prefer him to get on with his own interests and leave me to mine. So actually I DO mind!

I would not mind at all as we both have very similar interest anyway.

I don't mind if my partner contributes, we are two different people so it's good to get another opinion

My husband has gradually got more and more involved with my fundraising. I really like it. It is a big part of our life.

In a word, friction, but also forgiveness of course and maybe an explanation if needed

Nothing - awe are very close and think it's important to be able to enjoy things together and separately - if he shows an interest it's a great time to discuss things and grow together as a couple

Well it's very unlikely that my partner/husband of 40yrs would get involved in anything I or the family do. He is on the autistic spectrum and he does his "thing" and we do ours! Simples! Life carries on!!

But, heaven help us if we would wish to join something he does, so we don't!

He takes over, starts doing it wrong and annoys me ! I go off in a huff and he doesn’t finish the job because he’s sulking ??

He never does! But I would totally welcome it
