Do you have common inerest with your partner?

I would say for the most part my partner and I share the same interests. And yes there are a few things that we differ on so it makes like interesting. But it's why we get on so well.

I don't think my hubby and I have common interest. I am a type of person who loves to go out, and he is a homebody person. He just love to sit and watch tv, I do love to sit and surf in the net. But we do get along very well. We do respect each other's interests. I never asked him to like what I do and vice versa, but we do it willingly. It wasn't hard for us to be involved in each other's interest. We love eacch other, and we learnt to love our differences too. I think that's most important.

Hi Bebs, I agree with you! My husband and I both love eating..lol! He cooks great and I am learning this time! We love fishing and swimming but we will not meet when it comes to playing pool, I love it so much and I always loves to play but he doesn't like it which irritates me! LOL! Anyway, at least a lot of common though compared to those who can't even name one!

Hi there Bebs 08! You're right. Sometimes, it's not only the intelligence that differs but also personalities and that is perfectly fine. No two persons are exactly alike and sometimes, we just have to use our differences with our partner in a way that we will complement each other. I have a few common interests with my husband like playing online games, music, going out and eating.

We have a lot of common interests. Too many maybe. I think he needs to find some interests of his own and some friends of his own and occasionally have a life away from the home and the family. Not too much though, but something!

Oh I like this topic my dear. You are very right with what you said. When you have different interests with your partner it would be much harder. It's a good thing you have at least 80% similarity with your hubby. That's a good percentage already. So you don't like aviation too. I also dislike that. Well my husband and I both love to go outing. Going to beaches, picnics, and other places. We love to travel a lot. I love music as well and he does too. We both love gardening. We both love shopping but when we shop we are separate. I have no patience waiting for him while he fits rubber shoes neither does he has the patience waiting for me till I get the right style of dress. But when we are shopping for things in the house that is when we always go together. When it comes to sports, he likes to basketball and do a lot of that but I don't have not much interest in basketball now. When I was younger yes, I was addicted to Basketbal and was an avid fan of Robert Jowarski and I would jump the highest when he shoots. But with the younger sets of new baskeball stars now, I think I am too old to root for them. Ha!ha!ha! When my husband watches Basketball though, I never disturb him. I am giving him all the time to enjoy the game. Afterall, he's been working hard all day long.

We have common interest with my partner, that is dealing and teaching children. We both are a teacher that's why we get along well because we always share our experiences with him. The only difference is, i teach in a normal classroom while he teaches mentally handicapped children which i think for me is very hard. Teaching mentally handicapped is not easy but i salute my husband for being such a strong person to be able to handle them. Happymylotting!
