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

He’s not usually interested in anything I am doing but if he tried to get involved in something I wanted to do alone I would tell him to go away and leave me to it

What happens is that I become a spare part. He took over dishwasher duties because I won't wait for a full load and he 'knows' how to load it efficiently . Now I use all the cutlery, all the plates and all the pans just to wind him up.

We have different interests, I love reading and music and my husband loves genealogy but we both discuss various things of interest relating to my books and the family history.

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

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

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.

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.......

I live alone ☹️

We are as one anyway especially after 48 years marriage

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,

It doesnt happen very often so I let it be

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

Same here sharon103, no partner for me either.

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!!

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

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.

Not a problem,We both believe in sharing

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