Would you rather share every hobby with your partner or have completely separate interests?

Share every hobby

Have completely separate interests

People! Obviously the ideal thing is to have a majority of similar interests and maybe a couple different things just to have some things for yourself. I was asking you to pick ONE 😂

Having more in common with a partner is better than not having much in common with a partner , You don’t have to have all of the same interests with each other. but you both should have a lot more in common with each other , over not much in common with each other , When having less in common with each other, you both eventually sill not enjoy spending that much time together anymore , because either one of you , or both of you , will start missing the things you actually enjoy doing to try to appease each other. Why it’s best to meet someone you share a lot of the same interests with , so you both can enjoy doing those things together , over doing things separately from each other. Why people shouldn’t jump into relationships until they both look at the big picture with each other , to make sure it’s not just infatuation that brought you 2 together in the first place. So it’s better to take your time getting to know each other before committing to each other . Don’t just look at the sex you share together , look at other things as well, to make sure you both really have a lot in common with each other , before making it official , or you both might eventually start butting heads and not agreeing on things together. I been in those relationships before , and they all turned out bad. So focus on finding a girl that actually has a lot in common with you , that enjoys a lot of the things you enjoy as well. Instead of someone that needs space from you constantly and doesn’t want to join you in things that you enjoy to do. Sadly the space between you both will open doors to allow someone else to come in between you both or make you both drift apart eventually.

Having some shared hobbies and interests is great, but it is also fine to have some of your own. You don't have to share everything.
It's also good to be supportive of your partner's interests even if you don't care to participate.
The only problem would be if their separate hobbies/interests took up too much of their time.

Both are important id say.


My husband i both adore camping, fishing, the beach and ocean, the outdoors and travelling. But he also loves football which i dont get much joy from and i love the movies and beauty which he does not obviously enjoy. We mostly do everything together with the kids and genuinely enjoy it, which is really lovely.. but he occasionally goes to the football or fishing with friends and i go to the movies or to the nail salon with the girls.
I've also put in effort and attended football games with him and he has also had plenty of pedicures with me 😄 BUT the hobbies we enjoy individually are usually on our own or with our friends as we appreciate time apart as much as we appreciate it together. Luckily we are very much the same person, i'm a very outdoors chick and he's a very laid back man that would happily sit there and get a pedicure with me.. but in my opinion its very healthy to enjoy MOST of your partners interests as it will make your life A LOT funner ❤️

@HawkPerception
I like this answer too.

[RubyFrench]

thank you🙏🏽🙂

[HawkPerception]

It's a great answer and it's true in all aspects, but you didn't choose a side in the question. The question is a hypothetical. Not literal.

[spartan55]

The poll nazi strikes again...😂😂😂

[RubyFrench]

Loll, Hawk perception you should probably make that a little clearer in the thread next time. Sharing every hobby and having separate interests can be two different things. For instance my husband's interests are football which he usually does alone and his hobbies is the beach which we share.

Interests and hobbies are closely related and often used interchangeably, but there is a subtle difference between the two. Interests refer to the broader range of subjects that you enjoy or find engaging, while hobbies are more specific activities that you pursue for enjoyment or relaxation

If you're being technical though, I think most people would say shared. I hope this answers your question

[itsannalee]

Share, have the same interest with our partner is a be a blessing.

[OfMiceandMen]

I would rather have some interests of my own and she have some different one's too. We don't constantly have to be together and it is healthy to have something of your own in a relationship, that is uniquely you.

[thenerdone]

Accidentally clicked "completely separate".
I get very intensely interested in things, I'd like to be able to discuss and share them at a very deep level with someone.

[spartan55]

Ideally I would like a partner who shares some hobbies with me and has some of her own that I don't care about. How's that answer?

[HawkPerception]

Still refusing to answer the question I see 😂

I guess if someone asks if you had to choose between the life of your mother or your lover, you'd just be stuck, eh?

[spartan55]

Real apples to apples comparison there... lol 😂

[HawkPerception]

I just mean you have issues choosing any side of any hypothetical question.

[spartan55]

Not every one, just some.

[Decoded93]

I have some strange hobbies like math and reading stuff on ufos so no chance I’ll find a lady into all my stuff, I’m not even going to daydream about it cause it’s a waste of time!

[ArrowheadSW]

I would like to share some, or most, hobbies. But I don't need to share all of them with a partner.

[exitseven]

I would not share every hobby but some things would be nice

[DrPepper12]

EVERYTHING eventually comes down to self preservation and "me time" is a great example.

[SolitarySolace]

Share. But I hate women so that’ll never happen

[dragoblack]

Both. Have shared and different interests
