That's a no for me

Friends, SWomans, countrypersons; lend me your eyes!

In your relationship, what is a hobby/interest that your partner has which you have no interest in sharing?

How do you cope with your own lack of interest?
My ex husband was a hunter and I loathed everything about hunting.

@CuriousGeorge - your creativity is like a muscle. If you flex it, it will get stronger. It doesn't matter if the drawing you created looks like an elephant... and it was intended to be a giraffe or if your short story is completely boring. Ask for an honest critique, learn something, and try to do better next time. It's doing what you enjoy that is important. As children we are rewarded. Our parents tell us "you're so smart" or "you're so creative" instead of telling us "I"m proud of you because you worked so hard." Most of us do not shoot out of the womb knowing how to paint the Mona Lisa or write Shakespearean sonnets these take life experiences, technical understanding, and a LOT of practice.

Our interests do not match at all. We do thing separately mostly, I enjoy the alone time and he's never expressed any concern. When we do things together though we take turns choosing (but try to avoid things the others absolutely hate, like I can't take him shopping)

I have a very diverse set of interests that I indulge in, often creative. I come here to share some of them, and I have friends who share my interests in writing and art.

She loves going clothes shopping but I'm not big on it. Especially with her! My girlfriend is one of those people you see in stores who are so frickin' indecisive! It's always "Do I want that one? No, maybe that one! Or this one... No, that one!" It drives me insane!! 😣

To cope with our lack of mutual interest, whenever we're out at Walmart or some other mall and she wants to look at clothing, we usually split up with her going to do her own thing and me doing my thing and then meeting up outside when we're done. That seems to help.

My ex thought I liked to listen to him talk and watch him eat.

@Flenyys perfect sense. Thank you.

@thesunisout I feel your pain, but it allows me time to do the things I want to do so I don't mind it :)

@Carver I've literally told my wife 'don't ask for my opinion on shoes any more, they all look great on you but my only opinion is, are they comfortable?' And they never are!

@curious shared sense of humour, physical attraction, respect for how they act, I do enjoy his company just not his hobbies and interests, if that makes sense?
CheshireCatalyst · 36-40, M
@Flenflyys so you have more out of common than in? What is the attraction?

This is not in any way a criticism, just curiosity :)

@Moonchild great answer thanks! Sometimes I wish I was more motivated to be creative then I realise that I'm terrible at it anyway. :)
