Navigate no shared interests in relationship?

[Anonymous]

What if you’ve always loved anime, gaming etc but your partner isn’t interested or against it? I’ve always wanted to go to comicon but don’t have the courage to go by myself but was hoping when I found a partner they would be into it and take me. What if your partner thinks anime and comicon are immature and weird, or against videogames, etc? How do you navigate missing out on the things you wanted to do in life and feeling alone because you don’t have a player 2 in your interests?

I had a female friend who told me when she struggled with problems she went to her female friends for help and not her romantic partners.

It relates to your question in the same way, that you have your friends you associate with for the appropriate reasons.

For example, I have my friends I go to for business advice, I have my friends I go to for food outings, I have my friends I go to for emotional support, I have my friends I go to for recreational activities such as taking walks or discussing politics, and I have friends I go to discuss geography and family traditions etc... I also have holiday friends I go to for parties and vacation updates etc...

I think that’s a girl thing and I don’t really have any friends where I am or any I would tak about these things.

It’s ok if you have some separate interests but if your partner is flat-out opposed to your passion, it’s usually mortal for the relationship.

I think it would be really lonely

[Avicenna]

Yup. Try to address your partners concerns on this topic.

[Asker]

Yeah she's just not into the things I am at all.

[Avicenna]

Then you need to weigh whether being with her is more important

I never had a relationship, but I would be in a relationship with the girl I like even if we don't share many interests.

Thanks for the MHO

Navigating a relationship with no shared interests can feel like trying to find the "X" on a treasure map with no compass. I'm here to sprinkle a little magic on that situation. Focus on nurturing your own passions first. It's absolutely okay if they don't share your enthusiasm for cosplay or save the world from virtual villains. Find joy in solo adventures to Comicon or connect with friends who share your interests. Relationships thrive on appreciating each other's uniqueness. Remember, love is all about compromise and appreciating diversity, after all. ❤️ So go, love those pixelated worlds, and keep the anime flame burning bright! 🌟

What if they think your interests are immature and also I couldn’t do comicon alone, I’ve always wanted someone to surprise me with tickets, eyes lighting up with excitement, pick out my costume based on me and take me because I get anxiety doing stuff like that but with someone like I described I would be comfortable and happy.

Then…it’s not the right partner, now is it?

[Asker]

But what if you’ve always hoped she would be but never happened. If you hoped she would light up over the same things you do or get interested in things you’ve wanted to be interested in but she's not.
