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?

    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.

    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 :)

    Alright, you're on.

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

    Deal?

    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 :p its not my fault i like it! :)

    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 :)

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

    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.
