We both like photography but he does not have the same motivation or interest that I do. I find it frustrating and annoying. For some reason he will not get up well before dawn to get the sunrise or go out at night in the freezing cold to get astro photography images. I just go without him now.
He doesn't usually, apart from at the moment when he is bored or the fact we are both working from home. I usually invite him to join and within 5 mins he has changed his mind and regretted asking in the first place!
My husband completely took over the kitchen while sharing the cooking of the main meal every other day when he retired... but after a few years I had to ban him my patience just ran out...I really tried to teach him the basics and he does make a lovely hot pot..but the kitchen is not as I would like it as the everyday and monthly jobs were just left...I finally flipped but he still tries to take over. When I put an item down he moves it and "helps" he hovers around me and has a way of stopping my line of thoughts on working.. I don't think he does it on purpose but its so very annoying that I do get very cross with him!!! I ask him how he would like it if I sorted out his shed and moved items around!

My husband has taken over the kitchen since lockdown. He keeps occupied by cooking and I'm enjoying the change. Of course when I can no longer fit through the front door post lockdown, I probably won't still be smiling.
