Does your partner share same hobbies and interest as you?

Now we have quite a few in common, but we started having very few in common and then converged more and more over the years. We seemed like complete opposites at first but I'd say I have more in common with my wife than any other woman I dated in the areas that counted like the way we communicate, overall sensibilities, trust, similar values, etc.

In terms of interests though, we were wildly apart in the beginning. I liked skateboarding, for example, while she liked ballet. I was a beer and pizza type, and she was a fine wine and French gourmet type. I liked rock concerts, she liked opera. I liked horror films, she liked musicals. Over time though, she started to like many of the things I liked, and I started to like many of the things she liked. It's like the potential for both of us to like each other's interests were always there, but we had a very different upbringing.

Meanwhile, with my first love many years before I met my wife, we were like soulmates as far as interests. However, we couldn't be further apart in terms of how we communicated, our sense of values, etc. And that didn't work out so well in the long run. So I consider my wife more of a true "soulmate" in this sense even if we started off with much fewer interests in common.

We do have certain things in common

Partly. We're both into gaming (the games we favor do not always overlap though). He isn't as much into reading books as I am though, he preferres audiobooks instead.

For the most part, yes.

Also, I'd like to point out that they're using Mad Catz PS2 controllers. You can see the logo (vaguely) on the girl's controller.

And obviously they're fake playing for the purpose of taking a stock photo, but this is just a pet peeve of mine: name one PS2 game that would require you to aggressively be pressing R2, L2, ↑ and △ at the same time?

No... I'm playing 'The Division 2' and she's watching random Asian romance flicks. I'm all about science, politics, and human psychology, and she's really just a basic bitch... you know like starbucks and facebook type shit.

We basically have none of the same interests. We both like some series on Netflix, is the closest thing. Apart from that, I like computers and technology, and she likes knitting and diy projects

We definitely do have our own unique interests but we also have once in which we share. For example we love sitting down and watching series together. She will introduce me to series and then I to her etc we also enjoy gaming together.
