Interests your other half has that you'd rather they didn't

Is their anything that your partner is interested that they would spend a bit of time at, be it hobbies or beliefs?
You know they enjoy it but it bugs the **** out of you and you can’t figure out why they do it
or are even interested in it in the first place.
You do understand it to a certain extent but just wish they didn’t spend time on it at all or wish they had a different interest?
Is their anything that your partner despises you being interested in?
Care to share your interests that annoy your partner?

Tar.Aldarion

Not exactly, she likes cleaning too much, and everything to be tidy. Also will never watch anything with violence in it. So watching crap 'romance'/'drama' films is a good start. She detests my poker, otherwise I am perfect.

redfacedbear

She likes those awful real life magazines like 'Bella' or 'Pick me up' - with stories from scummers with 7 kids from 6 different fathers.

I like Boards - which she absolutely hates! She's a bit of a technophobe and reckons I'm going to meet someone here and run off with them - this is what happens to people in her crappy mags!

I've tried to reassure her - explained the difference between a Bulletin Board and a Chat Room and opened a thread to show her how innocuous Boards really is. Unfortunately Tar.Aldarion had posted on the thread - so the only thing she saw on the page was Tar's sig complementing me on the tremendous size of my penis - the sh*t really hit the fan then

Well, at least I'll get a nice bit of nag-free poker in... can you take her tmrw aswell??

Tar.Aldarion

Yeah, she loves her nights out 'with the girls' eh.
I kindof want to play poker tomorrow, heads up for gfs?

imeatingchips

Alright, you're on.

Plus, if you lose, you have to take the Friends boxset as well.

Deal?

Tar.Aldarion

Only if you take the Johnny depp posters.

Kinetic^

She watches the worst programs ever on TV.......all the soaps, seriously they're so ****ing **** that if they were the only things on TV I'd probably gouge my eyes out!!!!!!

Other than that she's great.

She likes everything I do but I am the best bf ever!!

emm...... playing the guitar. He decides every so often when I'm watching tv to strum and sing songs but he can't sing for SH**E!

Oh and for the previous (male) posters, it is very annoying when you boys want to watch violent films with no story lines or romance to keep us going!

That is all

dance music. i dont get it. & i dont like it, especially when its being played REALLY loudly, or travelling long distances in the car with it on, or being dragged out to see a dj & listening to it all night. although it always sounds a tiny bit better after a few drinks.

then again he hates the music i listen to, & the music they play in "normal" places on a night out, so i suppose it works both ways.
also apparently i watch a lot of crap on tv, but most of it actually is crap so i cant complain its not my fault i like it!

tribulus

She probably dislikes my constant eating and going to the gym. In fact, I know she does!

Having to watch films like Wedding Daze instead of Exiled annoys me.
Having to watch Next Top Model re-runs instead of Guinness Rugby Live annoys me.

Her shopping annoys me. Well it's more "I just want to get two things" yet it ends up taking three hours.

She's still great though

Stargal

Em nothing really. We're interested in pretty much the same stuff.

Nightwish

His obsession with watching every sporting event televised, thinking farting is funny, his apathy at current affairs and politics. Thats it...for now.

electric69

Im single *cries himself to sleep

SligoBrewer

big brother.. otherwise.. perfect:)

The Hill Billy

Her: Cleaning, nagging.

Me: Drinking, farting.

togster

Her OCD annoys the hell out of me. Constant counting and checking.

Tar.Aldarion

What is nagging?*


*I remember my innocence of this so well.

rollotomassi

She likes really stupid brain dead comedies, especially anything with Rob Schneider in it. She has given up smoking, but when we are out for a drink, she starts craving them again. As for me, she doesn't like it very much that I have years of FHMs and keep on re-reading them, and she's not too impressed at the way I can piss away an entire Sunday on the XBox 360.

~Leanne~

World of War

LundiMardi

eating my food. If you want chips then fúcking order them!!

Also shopping and taking 90 minutes to get ready to go anywhere.

Me, i'm perfect in every way.

I'm off to buy chips and a battered sausage... wait, will the chipper be open now?

Mine is the same, its always "The Match" I never even know what sport "The Match" is going to be for the day and in Ireland especially with GAA and that there is even more sports than other country's therefore even more matches. I'm still not 100% if I can spend my life being subjected to constant sport.

He used to hate my World of Warcraft obsession, which was fair enough as it was rather unhealthy, resulting in me having to give it up altogether. He generally doesn't get computers or literature or dungeons and dragons.

So basically it would appear he's a jock and I'm a geek but all our other interests match pretty nicely .

ergonomics

I know he dislikes a lot of my music and can't understand why I love Sims so much. Or why I buy trashy magazines...I just get bored in work!

I can't understand why he has to watch every football match shown on tv. Ok, he doesn't watch every one but a lot. I wonder about some of his music too.

~Leanne~

@ Greenkittie - thats what my post above was meant to say - World of Warcraft not World of War haha!!

Im not very clued up on pc games but he spends hours every night on it! he is addicted!

I just realised this about someone i'm involved with, he explained it to me and I think its really interesting but then again that wouldn't bother me as i'd understand it.

Strawberries07

Mine bf is addicted to the XBOX 360 and wont stop till he gets his achievement points!! GRR.

Canis Lupus

She loves loves loves reggae and plays it all the time. I haaaate reggae.

She also talks during movies........

However, I've plenty of things that annoy her as well so it all balances out. (cept I'm thinking of deleting all the reggae she has).

Tar.Aldarion

Reggae? You poor man.

The Queen

My bfs obsession with computers - computer games, computer modding etc.
Even if Im staying over he says "ok Ill be in bed in a few mins." The minutes turn to hours. Just so he can beat some little obese kid at Dawn of War or test out the new sound card. GRRRRRRR :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

I on the other hand am perfect. Except apparently I can be really pesty in the morn... When he's tired from being up all night gaming. All his fault!!

rain on

him indoors is mad into trolling messageboards. words cannot convey how lame and unproductive an activity i consider this to be.

Crumble Froo

beliefs?

belief in vengeance... im a turn the other cheek kinda person, while he's more of an eye for an eye... few small disagreements over that...

otherwise no complaints.

though... we're moving in together soonish.

can i repost then?:rolleyes:

nesf

We don't really clash on anything, or in other words we both tolerate the other one's hobbies and interests so ours are tolerated in return. That and neither of us suffer from any delusions about our other half having to take an interest in what we're interested in.


I have been in relationships where my hobbies were a point of contention and it's really not a nice experience.

Mrs. MacGyver

He watches cricket. He reads modern european history books (on the world after 1945) in the bathroom and hogs it for hours..... otherwise we get on really wel.

I'd be more concerned about sitting on the toilet for hours than reading trashy newspapers.

lol! yea, that's what he is at :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

I-like-eggs,mmm

Em..... OCD with tidying & the gym - he has to drag me...

When he asks for a bite of my icecream or any food- he manages to put 3quarters of it into his mouth in one bite. Amazes me...

When he's extremely drunk and asks for highly explicit sexual favours or the like... grrr.

Oh and his love for War movies- I hate them! Or anything boring like Alexander, what a crap movie.

Or at 06:30 on a Saturday or Sunday morning in his house... All I'll say is, "morning glory"- it's just not welcome. Night time yes. I am NOT a morning person and love my lie ins....
