I find couples usually have the same hobbies. Especially during quarantine, couples are watching tv together, playing video games together, etc. do you have a hobby that’s different from your s.o?

My SO and I mostly have different hobbies.
I dance, yoga, stretch, train strength.
He video games, runs occasionally.

We read different books. We occasionally watch TV together. We play some board games together and others apart.

Yep, my s/o and I have a few hobbies we do together, but most of them are different. This has been a great time to introduce one another to new things (he did a painting class with me, I went and tried long-distance running with him.)

But honestly, it also good to have alone time when we’re home together 24/7 and having different hobbies helps with that

I have no hobbies. Hubby has tons. So we get our alone time when he’s playing music or cooking or whatever. 🤷‍♀️

funny

all of our hobbies are different. he hates trash tv and I live for it (just one example). we are total opposites but we come together when we make food or we find a show we both like that we can enjoy

We watch a lot of the same tv shows, he’ll play video games online sight the guys while I’ll play animal crossing sitting next to him, we’ll read together and talk about what we’re reading, he likes to run I’ll do a yoga class, it’s really mix but I’d say our reading and tv is something we do a lot together

We like to travel and go for bike rides together in normal times. Under quarantine...I read and he watches Netflix in another room. We’re also big on the peloton now and he usually hates spin class 😂.

Different hobbies. Idk what couples you spoke to.

How do you decide to forgive a SO for lying to you? For a lie of omission. Currently I said that I don’t forgive them but I don’t want to break up and am willing to stay together to see if there’s improvement but I don’t know if that’s fair to them. Basically they introduced me to a friend in friend group at the end of 2019 and never told me they dated... I had my suspicions but kept it to myself. Then I saw an old friend who revealed that they dated 2 years ago and when I asked the SO...

Hi ladies! An old chestnut but would still love to hear your advice: i am fairly certain a key senior stakeholder is being difficult because he perceives me as a senior non white woman trying to boss him around. I have heard that he doesn’t like to surround himself with people cleverer than him in fear of them taking over his job, which to me further confirms this is a possibility. What can/should I do? TIA!

Ladies, love to hear your thoughts. I’m in my late 20’s with a handful of close gfs (most of them live far) but I have a history of losing girlfriends. I’m self aware to a fault and am very supportive/responsive but other than my core group, it’s hard for me to keep gfs around other than 6 month span. It’s happening to me again right now and it’s really hard, she’s going through something and pulling away/towards others when we have been VERY close before. Anyone else have this experience?
