To ask you to share your and your partners mystery hobbies

[Grobagsforever]

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.

Husband - trying to keep fit, buying and selling bike bits on eBay (he likes to present he just sells but I'm not daft)
Me - nowt. Does watching Judge Judy count?
Son - athletics, street dance, eating, sleeping.

Dh: PC gaming and basketball (watching and plays 2 nights a week)

Me: Sewing, gardening, running and procrastinating about folding cause I hate it.

I belong to the WI, and to the lady that does beekeeping, we had a speaker about it and it was fascinating.
Where are fellow artists on here?
Animal artist here, acrylic and coloured pencils

@Gallivespian I'm terrible at knowing anything about wallpaintings, but don't get DP started on the subject. He's probably still talking about them right now from the last time I asked... I just love old churches and historic graffiti especially so.

Me: Lino printing, embroidery, running.
DD: devising endless quizzes to torture me with.

Nothing to see here folks.

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

Ooooh, that sounds really interesting, actually. I'd like that one.

procrastinating about folding cause I hate it

Is that a typo, or just a mysterious household chore? Folding large amounts of washing?

I've got so many things I do now and again, but I don't think I do any of them often enough to count as actual hobbies (and I agree, I hate the word 'hobby'. It sounds so twee.)

Me - knife and blacksmithing, gaming , wood turning
Partner - knitting & gaming

Him - taking his Mini on drives all over the country with others who take their Minis, and going to Mini shows and events

Board games! We've turned the front room of our house into a games room with a bar! 😁

Strangling animals, golf and masturbating.

I think hobbies are great. It's when they take up more of your spare time than you have for your partner that I question things. Going fishing, overnight, every weekend for example. I mean what is that all about? Weird relationship I feel if you or your dp wants to be away more than with together.

Cycling and golf.

My hobby is tennis.

I do diamond painting, knitting, reading and watching telly. DH used to have a football season ticket. Entirely forgettable hobbies.

We have done wild camping a few times. Not that uncommon I know.

DH does Warhmer so it’s possible I’d use “doing his hobby” to avoid the shame

My hobby is dreaming of having the free time to have a hobby

My hobby is eating. I spend a lot of time doing it and I'm very good at it 😂😂

etihad I don't know why, but my first thought on failed beekeeping was they turned into wasps...

In terms of hobbies; pc gaming, reading and crafts for about 5 minutes, until I lose interest/shove it into the cupboard and throw it out 6 months later. I need mire interesting hobbies I think, sounds so dull

Me: pole dancing
DP: gaming (which I’d say is more an addiction than a hobby but that’s another thread 😅)

Dp - watching sport. Pretty much any sport.

Me - tennis (when I have the time, which has been rare of late), reading, cooking.

I sew.

Honestly DHs hobbies (there are a few) are all so random and unique (no - not cycling and not sports).
One of them is keeping bloody fish, I’ll admit to that one...

I run and sing in a choir once a week, and he plays cricket once a week. I think its so important that we have time by ourselves. We encourage each other to go out for a drink.

I love that there’s other MN pole dancers

@BangingOn me too , more popping up on here than expected these days!

I was (pleasantly) surprised to see so many too. It's one thing I don't always mention because I felt it was a bit more niche than other fitness classes but won't worry about that as much now seeing how many others have posted so far.

My DH's hobby is ice hockey. it's a rough, the kit smells beyond anything I can describe and he loves it.
