Because if I read another 'doing his hobby' I will scream.

IT'S NOT OUTING. THE VAST MAJORITY OF MALE PARTNERS ON HERE CYCLE, GOLF OR PLAY RUGBY/FOOTBALL.

I'll start. I don't have a hobby as I'm a lone parent with a FT job but I spend any leisure time reading. BF plays golf and take part in several orchestras.

I agree OP. 'my dh was off doing his hobby'

It so so fucking twee.

I haven't got a hobby because I'm a lazy bastard and any free time is spent watching telly.

My husband plays golf and football.

PositiveVibez · 24/11/2019 16:37

Grobagsforever · 24/11/2019 16:38

Its often " Cosplay"

BadgerBadgerMushroom · 24/11/2019 16:38

I don't know why I think this but every time someone posts that I think of model aeroplanes. Not that I know anyone in RL who does that! 😂

Dontsweatthelittlestuff · 24/11/2019 16:39

I am a window but when my husband was alive his hobby was going to the local pub to talk football with other 50 plus men.

My hobby is gardening.

KanelbulleKing · 24/11/2019 16:40

I play World of Warcraft and crochet (not at the same time). DH is a radio nerd and spends his time building aerials, examining atmospheric conditions and chatting to people all over the world.

Dontsweatthelittlestuff · 24/11/2019 16:40

Window😳 replace with widow

Thingsdogetbetter · 24/11/2019 16:41

Pillbox (WWII defences) hunting. So basically traipsing through muddy fields with a ordnance survey map he can't read to look at a concrete box. Only problem is he makes me go with him. Lol

Izabela86 · 24/11/2019 16:44

I like gardening and photography my BF loves games and reading. We both really enjoy our walks together!

adaline · 24/11/2019 16:45

I like adult colouring/dot-to-dot books - DH likes kite surfing, cycling and painting by numbers!

NotTheMrMenAgain · 24/11/2019 16:46

KanelbulleKing my DF is an amateur radio nerd (waves frantically). About this time of year he briefly lowers his aerials to wrap them with fairy lights - apparently they act as some sort of navigational aid for Santa Smile

PrincessHoneysuckle · 24/11/2019 16:47

Obsessing over his new log burner Starthinks hes Bear Grylls atm

TheDarkPassenger · 24/11/2019 16:47

My partner hikes, hell on Earth.
I do not share the same desire!

I mostly read or doss about with the kids, and I’m thoroughly thrilled by it!

newdeer · 24/11/2019 16:48

DH: choir
Me: kayaking

Grannybags · 24/11/2019 16:49

No mysteries here - choir and other church related stuff. I also work for the church so what is work and what is hobby is a bit hard to define!

Harveypuss · 24/11/2019 16:51

Campanology. Hubby and I share this hobby. Our eyes met across a crowded belfry nearly 30 years ago and they rest, as they say, is history! Grin.

I'm single. Don't have many hobbies, I like reading and travelling but I'd never describe them as "my hobby!"

BangingOn · 24/11/2019 16:57

DH: running
Me: pole dancing

Etihad · 24/11/2019 16:59

My hobby is beekeeping. Probably why I am single Grin
