Did it change you?

That's so sweet. When you enjoy your partner's company, you try to adapt to their "hobbies" so you can spend as much time as possible together. At least that's how I experience it. Both parties learn and grow from this constant "adaptation". Lately I'd say it's my significant other the one who's adapting the most, between the two, but I did my work too.

My late husband and I were soul mates so we had a lot in common and we both loved nature and animals, I still remember going out in the suburbs where we lived in Latvia after rain and picking up smails off the roadway and placing them in grass so no one would step on them and squish them,

When I met K, she was into showing dogs in obedience. I became involved with her and wound up being elected president of the local chapter of the local Labrador Retriever Club a year later.

I loved to garden. She loved to craft. It wasn't long before we were both gardening and crafting together. We sold those crafts and canned the food that we grew. I eventually moved to restoring old toys and antiques. When she became disabled, it kind of ended most of the serious gardening and crafting here. I still do some projects but there just isn't time or energy to do it all anymore. Now her interests have changed and are limited to what she is able to do and my interests revolve around taking care of everything else. Her condition dictates what she is capable of doing and it's likely that in the near future, I will find interest in the things that interest her. Yes. I DO wish it could be like it was for us 37 years ago but the reality is that it just isn't possible anymore. I have been changed several times over the years.

Leo and I had a lot of common interests. But we each had separate interests.

This is very sweet and loving story about your parents. Thank you for sharing a glimpse of tenderness and respect your parents did for each other.

Sometimes that was the case. I had no idea roadrunners were so small. The one on the cartoons looks large!

I take interest in anything my husband wants to do and he does the same with me.

That is sweet. My hubby grew up on a greenhouse farm. They started geraniums and other flowers as seeds, cared for them until they were big enough to transplant into containers and planters or just to be sold for people to plant in the ground themselves. I have always admired that nurturing quality that he has. I have seen him apply this to many scenerios over the course of time. I do love planting flowers and plants and watching them grow, I guess that I get that from him.

Yes, this happened in my marriage, even if we had so much in common with my husband even before getting married.

I’ve been with my husband since 1988. I can’t remember. I do recall that he went swimming a lot with me before we married and now he won’t get in any water unless I really beg. He fooled me into thinking he loved water like I do .

Mike and both share a love for nature and hiking. He was into gardening and I have learned a lot from him during our 30-year marriage. That is sweet your Dad still enjoys sharing birds and what not with you

That's a cool picture. I love birds. Yes, my husband and I both are flexible when it comes to each other's likes and dislikes.

It's happen to me in the past, my brother was drawing, and i beginning to love draw while watching him draw. Now i want to watch bird with my love, she love much bird, and me too, but I neve watched bird, so I want to start her passion?

I was always interested in what my partner was interested in!! Heck they were interested in me so!!!!
