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

I don’t mind because I know he will get bored sooner or later so I let him get it out of his system

I've only been with my current partner 6 months so we do share everything right now. I'm happy for him to get involved

Depends on what it is and the level of involvement. In turn, I have felt almost elbowed out and other times welcomed the interest.

I just love it when he gets involved.

We both have different interests so that’s unlikely to happen

I END UP GIVING IN

Sharing is what our partnership thrives on

I let him, but we might bicker along the way haha

we do alot together so I'd encourage it

My husband was never really interested in cooking but he's suddenly become very interested in barbequing, he's been watching lots of youtube videos and his steak beats a restaurant steak now. Really glad he's taken over with a lot of the cooking, gives me more time to crochet.

How funny!

I'd welcome it- we have such different interests that we do lots of things separately but also enjoy doing things together

He doesn’t get involved as my stuff is usually something he has no interest in anyway and the stuff we both have an interest in I’m happy to share.

Indoors Wendy Outdoors Tony...Simple

When my partner tries to help with my plants in the gardening it always goes wrong as although meaning to help he waters them at the wrong time of day or over feeds them ?

Always let him know he is welcome but I have my own friends so suggest he does the same.

I'd give him a hand if it was something new to him then it would become our thing in future which most things are anyway we love doing chores together

I'd be shocked! He has entirely different tastes and hobbies to me, and never collaborated with me before.

The running of the kitchen seemed to have fallen into the 'her' category for over 35+years of married life. .

However when in 2016 my DH retired, I said 'I'm handing over kitchen duties to you.'

DH took me at my word and has upto date cooked ( not baked ) virtually every meal.?

The baking and deep kitchen clean still seem to be under my control.
Hey ho.

It doesn't trouble me at all. Me and my partner were both widowed a few years ago, and are in our early sixties. We consider ourselves to have been very lucky to have been given another chance at love and life, and are agreed that everything we have is 'ours'. Actually, if he did but know, what's his is mine and what's mine is my own!??

I am welcoming him

Im not bothered he usually tries somethings like it or goes off and does his own thing .. useful he is doing an OU degree so VERY busy :-)

As long as he isn't better at it than me then it's fine! ;-)

I hate it he just takes over and makes me feel like I am useless
