No problem, as long as he does not start telling me what to do.

He wouldn’t botherGetting involved as my activities would fall into one of two categories 1) it doesn’t interest him, or 2) its too much like hard work or complicated! Luckily his own interests keep him busy - the only thing he actively got involved in was my new passion for regular exercise walking and it’s now ‘our’ time so most of the time I can enjoy his company.

It would make me feel good if he was interested in something of mine.

It depends what it is. I welcomed him getting involved in cooking and taking over the kitchen but I draw the line at him getting involved with my jigsaw puzzles. I think I might be a tad grumpy if he tried that one

It depends what it is really. If it's a household chore - fine join in. If he tries to take over my art or sewing then I would be less pleased

I don’t have a partner but enjoy family and friends sharing the same interests as me it’s not a competition

I’m very happy for him to join in as long as he doesn’t take over.

Well I don't have an answer to this one but that is a benefit of being single!

It drives me mad when he thinks he’s being helpful by putting on the washing but even though I’ve told him countless times not to mix colours with whites he always does and my whites turn out pink!

If my husband tries to do 'my stuff', I then go and start checking out his shed and tools, he can't stand it!

After 50 years of marriage I struggle to think of anything that is just mine! From day 1 everything is 'ours' and we are both happy with that!
