I always welcome the love of my life, and long-suffering wife Carol to be involved in anything that I do. At the end of the day, She will get better results than me anyway.
I would love it if my partner wanted to get involved in something which I am interested in.Sharing a hobby with a loved one can make it so much more enjoyable.
My husband never becomes involved in my jobs/projects without being asked and then he will help.He is too busy with his own DIY but will leave this if needed.
When i did have a husband(i hate the term partner if your actually married to them,its sounds like a business deal)! If he took over what was mine,id do a swap..
We dont have specific his and her activities, if one of us is trying something new and the other one is interested they will probably have a go too. If not they will carry on with their own specific interest.
We both have our own interests, with me its the usual, knitting, reading, crochet, gardening, he will cut the grass, but thats it for the garden on his side, he likes to make things from wood, so spends time in his workshop. I go in with a cuppa, and leave But we have some interests together, so we have time together doing what we like. it works for us.
He does but nothing serious, he eats my chocolate, looks at what is on my screen and often tells me a better way of doing the thing I have just finished! Heyho, I probably do annoying things too. Anything important he is happy to leave to me and I leave him to know all about football.
I'm fast out of the blocks, able to think outside of the box, but not a planner or finisher so will mostly welcome a partners input to bring matters to a conclusion. I will often load the gun and let him fire the bullet in contentious matters.
