So many threads have husbands / partners off doing their unidentified hobby. AIBU to ask what are these mysterious pursuits that our menfolk do?

Mine goes fishing...

Watching cricket and rugby.

Whatelsecouldibecalled · 20/06/2019 21:14

Cricket and triathlon...we work well spending time apart - it’s a good job! 😂

tardyheart · 20/06/2019 21:15

Motorbikes- riding, restoring and researching.

Watching Car & Motorbike YouTube channels.

We watch & go to MotoGP together, we both really enjoy it, so that's not really just his hobby.

minionsrule · 20/06/2019 21:16

Cricket here as well and ds sometimes plays for the seniors as well.
I love home matches as i can pop down to watch our team bat but skip out when we are bowling. Away games are usually far flung so if i go i am in it usually for the whole 7 hours Hmm.
I have invested in lots of reading materials for such circumstances Grin

Writing factual books, which always get good reviews and no sales. I’ve suggested trashy novels might sell but nope, another factual book requiring extensive research and making zero money is the thing.

Mine plays football, watches Netflix (only the shows with no appeal to me at all) and likes PS4. He also likes Bath and Bodyworks shopping. He goes to the toilet a lot. I deem this a hobby. He goes to the gym and likes to talk a lot about maybe going vegan. He also likes to buy the latest technology and researches this constantly.

Does the wife of the awesome batman guy want to swap for a bit?

Accountant222 · 20/06/2019 21:29

This year it's learning to fly.

BloomsButtons · 20/06/2019 21:34

Mine is an officer in the ACF.

Takes up just as much time as it would if he were a MAMIL 😡

Gooseygoosey12345 · 20/06/2019 21:34

Mine goes fishing once in a blue moon. I'm encouraging him to go at least once a month. We both need a break from daily monotony so I think it'll do him good.

Tobebythesea · 20/06/2019 21:35

Golf and video games

BlueThesaurusRex · 20/06/2019 21:37

Flying - he takes our son and some of the videos they have made of him doing aerobatics terrify me!
Scuba diving - kids do it too - as long was the water is warm!

Parker231 · 20/06/2019 21:43

Golf, skiing and running. He loves them

Buying clothes more expensive than mine Hmm

katmarie · 20/06/2019 21:48

Mine cooks (lucky me hes very good at it) he also takes things apart and puts them back together. DIY seems to be a sort of ongoing hobby for him, handily the house is falling down round our ears so it keeps him occupied.
