Definitely reading, unfortunately. He will occasionally read non-fiction about boring stuff like finance, but no fiction whatsoever. It makes this former English teacher and book publicist quite sad.</p> <p>@Cherrybee: Lol! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-something-you-are-interested-in-that-your-so-is-not#post-1292130 Thu, 19 Dec 2013 16:30:25 +0000 mrs. wagon 1292130@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wagon Sr. is super easygoing, a bit of a renaissance man and has so many interests. So I cannot think of a single thing that I'm into and he's not! There are some movies and TV shows he really doesn't like watching with me, but they're not of one genre... there are certain reality shows he's into even more than I am. And he likes all genres of movies. But he does groan if I want to watch Sex and the City or Mean Girls for the millionth time... but I think that's just because he's a man. He has even started to like country music... even listening to albums of artists that I'm not even really into (Toby Keith, Brad Paisley, Lee Brice) because he likes their music. </p> <p>I guess there are a few things he's not that into, but I'm not into them either... traveling, cooking... we both go in and out of following our sports teams but we're just too busy these days. </p> <p>There are WAY more things that he's into that I'm totally not... indie music, indie films, poetry, philosophical books, documentaries, scotch, beer, snowboarding, tech gear, the outdoors, cars, photography... the list goes on and on. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-something-you-are-interested-in-that-your-so-is-not#post-1292062 Thu, 19 Dec 2013 16:07:29 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 1292062@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Reading and reality tv! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-something-you-are-interested-in-that-your-so-is-not#post-1292057 Thu, 19 Dec 2013 16:06:11 +0000 illumina 1292057@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Travel and the outdoors. I literally need to drag him out of the house at weekends! Can't wait until LO gets older because I need a new travel companion! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-something-you-are-interested-in-that-your-so-is-not#post-1292054 Thu, 19 Dec 2013 16:04:49 +0000 lemondrop 1292054@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Photography and crafting, otherwise we like much of the same stuff. </p> <p>He's much more into football than I am, there's only so much time that it will keep my attention unless I'm actually at a game, but he could watch it on tv all weekend. The same goes for video games. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-something-you-are-interested-in-that-your-so-is-not#post-1291974 Thu, 19 Dec 2013 15:35:50 +0000 Alivoo01 1291974@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Me: Being healthy/clean, reading, crafts, cooking/baking</p> <p>Him: Fishing, cars, shopping </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-something-you-are-interested-in-that-your-so-is-not#post-1291948 Thu, 19 Dec 2013 15:21:48 +0000 blackbird 1291948@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Crossfit and working out. He's not into it. Or being adventurous with food. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-something-you-are-interested-in-that-your-so-is-not#post-1291930 Thu, 19 Dec 2013 15:16:25 +0000 Bookish 1291930@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yoursilverlining: Hah! This! I'm the researcher in our relationship, and he is totally happy with it! He hates looking things up.</p> <p>He also is not that into traveling or food....and by that I mean he's not a foodie. He LOVES to eat, he just isn't into like... new restaurants, exotic foods, etc. I haaate it. I would die a happy woman if he would take me to a restaurant where the food isn't covered in cheese. </p> <p>I would also die of shock if the man ever surprised me with a trip. The only way I can get him to travel is to extensively research (see above) the budget, locale, restaurants, etc. and present him with an itinerary that makes him happy. GRR!!! He has so much fun when we get places, but the thought of planning a trip nearly gives him a panic attack. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-something-you-are-interested-in-that-your-so-is-not#post-1291911 Thu, 19 Dec 2013 15:08:49 +0000 mrswin 1291911@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Reading, he doesn't get it at all and he thinks that the manuals and stuff that he "reads" should count! Hahaha</p> <p>I have no interest in car/mechanic and he LOVES it. He will go on and on, then my eyes glaze over and he pouts that I don't care LOL </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-something-you-are-interested-in-that-your-so-is-not#post-1291909 Thu, 19 Dec 2013 15:08:13 +0000 Smurfette 1291909@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>reading and crafting </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-something-you-are-interested-in-that-your-so-is-not#post-1291899 Thu, 19 Dec 2013 15:04:18 +0000 Charm54 1291899@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Country music </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-something-you-are-interested-in-that-your-so-is-not#post-1291887 Thu, 19 Dec 2013 14:59:09 +0000 yoursilverlining 1291887@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Research. I LOVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE it, he....not so much, unless it's directly related to a project he's working on. but all the travel planning and household decisions he leaves to me to research (woohoo!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-something-you-are-interested-in-that-your-so-is-not#post-1291883 Thu, 19 Dec 2013 14:58:21 +0000 LovelyPlum 1291883@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Rearranging furniture, and researching things! He gets overwhelmed by all of the options. </p> <p>I love to read, but he is MUCH more of a reader than I am. He always, always has his head buried in a book. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-something-you-are-interested-in-that-your-so-is-not#post-1291864 Thu, 19 Dec 2013 14:51:59 +0000 fancyfunction 1291864@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Shopping and ballet/musical theater. But we made a deal early in our relationship that I'll go to sporting events with him and he'll go to things like the ballet and Broadway shows with me b/c we want to support what the other really likes. It's opened both of us up to new worlds. But I still need to tell him when it's time for him to buy some new clothes. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-something-you-are-interested-in-that-your-so-is-not#post-1291841 Thu, 19 Dec 2013 14:41:47 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 1291841@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Scrabble </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-something-you-are-interested-in-that-your-so-is-not#post-1291840 Thu, 19 Dec 2013 14:41:23 +0000 Foodnerd81 1291840@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm way more into reading than he is-- he will read for fun, but it's really rare. Pre-baby I always had a book I was into. Need to get back in the habit! I also am much more into cooking-- he will make a few things but doesn't really care. He will happily eat anything I want to cook though. </p> <p>For him- golf. Golf golf golf. Blegh. It's a constant source of stress between us because playing a round takes up pretty much the whole weekend day, even though he claims it's only a few hours. I'm home alone with the baby all week and would prefer family time or me time on the weekends. The compromise is still a work in progress but we are both trying. He's also interesting in sports in general, which I'm really not. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-something-you-are-interested-in-that-your-so-is-not#post-1291824 Thu, 19 Dec 2013 14:31:54 +0000 sunny 1291824@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Photography and shopping!</p> <p>He's into sports, both playing and watching. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-something-you-are-interested-in-that-your-so-is-not#post-1291819 Thu, 19 Dec 2013 14:30:29 +0000 SugarplumsMom 1291819@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Shopping. Home decorating. Comparison shopping.</p> <p>His interests I don't care for include: world war facts and trivia, war movies, planes, tanks, death metal, picking elbows. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-something-you-are-interested-in-that-your-so-is-not#post-1291754 Thu, 19 Dec 2013 14:11:51 +0000 bookwormmama 1291754@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely reading. He sometimes gets mad at how engrossed I get in my books. Sometimes I don't listen very well while I'm reading.</p> <p>I like to window/bargain shop a lot but he isn't the biggest shopping fan. He does usually come with me at least.</p> <p>He likes to watch basketball on TV and I really hate basketball. I love football and will watch baseball, but basketball is just so boring to me. He loves playing video games, but I actually enjoy the story lines of most of his video games, so I don't mind him playing them while I'm at home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-something-you-are-interested-in-that-your-so-is-not#post-1291753 Thu, 19 Dec 2013 14:11:35 +0000 bpcmarj 1291753@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Historical Drama/TV Shows and music trivia. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-something-you-are-interested-in-that-your-so-is-not#post-1291745 Thu, 19 Dec 2013 14:08:26 +0000 LuLu Mom 1291745@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>reading -- he just isn't interested, he got about 2 chapters into Hunger Games after we went to the movie. </p> <p>shopping/clothing - I LOVE fashion, he prefers things he's had for years to anyting new I buy him. </p> <p>he's into basketball &amp; golf -- both bore me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-something-you-are-interested-in-that-your-so-is-not#post-1291730 Thu, 19 Dec 2013 14:04:15 +0000 Mae 1291730@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Reading! My husband isn't a reader. </p> <p>Also photography. He likes that I do it, but he can't really get into it. Although to his credit, he is a good student when I try to teach him and he actually can use my DSLR better than most people I hand it to. </p> <p>For my husband, he is into music and sports big time. I couldn't care less about either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-something-you-are-interested-in-that-your-so-is-not#post-1291726 Thu, 19 Dec 2013 14:03:49 +0000 Cherrybee 1291726@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Conversation. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-something-you-are-interested-in-that-your-so-is-not#post-1290153 Thu, 19 Dec 2013 14:00:00 +0000 Bao 1290153@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I absolutely love to read, and DH just isn't into it. He much prefers to work on music related things and that's perfect with me since then I can do my thing and he can do his! What are you interested in that your SO has no interest in? What about something your SO is interested in but you aren't fond of? </p>
