We both share everything. It helps greatly.

would be happy to share

obag Mon 27-Apr-20 21:46:42

I would be happy, it's good to have things that you enjoy together.

Sandygough74 Mon 27-Apr-20 21:45:06

We still get on well so it's ok. If he does it too often it may change!

chopper Mon 27-Apr-20 21:44:32

Not a problem,We both believe in sharing

I have no partner, haven't for a long time. I think there's nothing wrong with either/both of you having individual interests. Thinking of several married friends, they all say the same - that it's good to spend time apart, it makes getting together again all the better.

I'm quite happy for my husband take an interest and get involved

grannyqueenie Mon 27-Apr-20 20:52:02

It would be fine... until he starts telling me ways in whichI could do it better... I have a “look”that I employ if that happens!! grin

Same here sharon103, no partner for me either.

SharonMS Mon 27-Apr-20 20:35:46

Most likely I won't mind....as long as he does it right!

SallyJOliver Mon 27-Apr-20 20:34:53

To be honest, I would be very happy to share any activity with him! I am always trying to guilt-trip him into exercising with me - if it was up to him, he'd never leave the house. smile

chrisbishop55 Mon 27-Apr-20 20:33:28

I give up because he's too competitive and always has to be the best!

Victoria357 Mon 27-Apr-20 20:11:41

I'm more than happy to share with the one I love - ?

Cazzy28 Mon 27-Apr-20 20:03:09

Hmmm annoyed because i know her will lose interest after a while!

Jinky2 Mon 27-Apr-20 19:59:12

I'm very proud when my partner gets involved with anything I consider to be mine. In fact he's proud of me too and is usually a great help.

chris2468 Mon 27-Apr-20 19:36:12

l encourage him to get involved with 'my' activities as he encourages me to get involved with is

Nandalot Mon 27-Apr-20 19:36:00

We do most things together but I like various crafts which he doesn’t get involved in but I would not mind if he wanted to join in.

Wendyfaint Mon 27-Apr-20 19:18:22

It doesnt happen very often so I let it be

flowersfromheaven Mon 27-Apr-20 19:14:33

We usually share share alike but when it comes to doing my garden I like to do it myself so if he started to get involved, I would start to get involved in something he considers to his like his fishing Tackle,

suzybin Mon 27-Apr-20 19:12:37

We are as one anyway especially after 48 years marriage

QuaintIrene Mon 27-Apr-20 19:08:10

I live alone ☹️

Daisymae Mon 27-Apr-20 19:01:33

Well when he does get involved he is pretty keen to tell me where I have been going wrong all these years! The results are not pretty.......

granh2 Mon 27-Apr-20 18:52:55

I would be delighted if he showed an interest in my hobbies. I try to keep out of his U3A reading groups as he considers them 'his'. Can't see him joining my RSPB bird walks or my craft group. we do share the gardening though where I try not to criticize, and gently suggest what should be done.

rizlett Mon 27-Apr-20 18:49:51

I don't have a partner so everything is mine - all mine!

FranT Mon 27-Apr-20 18:45:31

If my Husband was still alive, I would welcome him taking part in any activity whatsoever!
