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

We mostly have our own separate interests, but occasionally when I'm doing a jigsaw, I will find my husband coming across and putting a few pieces in. That's fine unless it's the last few pieces!

One of my interests is geocaching, initally it was something I did. After a little while hubby became interested and now it is something we share and do together, much more fun doing it together.

I can't see him muscling in on some of the stuff I do, to be honest. I'm keen on holistic therapies for example and he's scared of having a massage.
He's welcome to cook, clean etc, but not keen on doing it 'My way.' Not worth the arguing over though!

I humour him for a while, knowing full well he'll be bored with whatever it is soon anyway.

If my husband expressed an interest in my hobbies of sewing and crochet I'd start to wonder if he was losing his marbles.

I think it's great. Something to share and enjoy together.

It really depends what "stuff" he is poking about with and what he is doing with it - he has a tendency to throw anything away that isn't his "stuff"

We work great as a team and share lots of interests but we are always clear about who does what. For example, we share (my) allotment and both take great pleasure in it but there is an unspoken agreement that, I plant things and he digs.

I do not mind that much because we tend to share jobs round the house anyway.

One of the reasons I split with my last 'partner' as he didn't seem to want to share any of the menial tasks. He liked bbqs but not gardening for example. One day I said to him the garden doesnt do itself! He replied saying he thought I liked weeding!! So I weeded him out the door lol

It is always fine with me

I don't mind but he does tend to take over

We share everything anyway and enjoy life together this way

I welcome us having more common interests

He does it wrong and I get very mad

It is generally more fun - we feel more of a partnership and enjoy doing things together

We share most things so I wouldn’t mind at all

Nothing as we share most things anyway

If it's a DIY job I feel I have 'ownership' of we can come to blows, especially if he starts getting bossy or patronising, but generally this doesn't happen - he has his jobs he doesn't mind (cooking, DIY, gardening) and I have mine (washing, hoovering, child stuff) and we are a great team!

I always welcome my partner getting involved in something which we could share

I value his input on most things that I do. I enjoy spending time with him.

We do most things together, he usually is better at me at a lot of things so always grateful for his help.

Rarely happens. After almost 50 years he knows better!

I would welcome it, it's better to share. I am a designer and frequently ask his advice! So get him involved as much as possible!

we alwaysn share , its ours not mine and vice versa
