DW is hobbyless

[Andy1964]

Not too sure where to post this.

I've always been an outdoors type of person.
Hikeing, Swimming, Surfing, Sailing, Camping, Scuba Diving, Motorcycling, Kite Flying, Football, camping to name but a few.

Obviously all of these take the backburner since marriage and family.
I don't regret it, It's not a problem for me or DW.

Unlike me the DW has no interests which I find quite strange and sometimes frustrating.

She is a SAHM so could do with some interests to break up her week but NOTHING presses her buttons.

I'd love something we can do together but still can't find anything.

We have two DS, 7 and 10, we have been camping twice, they loved it, DW put on a brave face, not her idea of fun.

So, list a few interests that might spark and interest in DW either by herself or with me or as a family.

We could see this as a very good example of how clever, controlling men are able to manipulate and deceive even the most on-the-ball partners.

lol

can't believe men have the nerve to say women are all touchy and "difficult" - (k.e. dh: ZZZen you know you are "difficult")

lordy lordy

actually I am a bit freaked out. Do men really "manage" their wives like this? Is this how they tick?

Known troll, btw. Same username across many forums.

I think I'm in love.

Just a thought. Could be Andy/Troll is not a man at all - I don't mean in the sense of being unmanly - but he could be a woman with a strange posting habit. Now that would give us all something to think about.

errr...does sleeping count?

hahahahaha wombfrootshoot

good luck with that

Just read all of this thread, what did Andy say? Am gagging to know, can someone fill me in please?

ahaha

along the lines of 'anyone who dares question me is a big hairy-legged feminist who couldn't keep a husband if she locked him under the stairs'.

Bless.

lol, when I read his first post I thought his dw must be exhausted with what sounds like a near constant rant about her hobbies or lack of before I even read any of the reponses.

'anyone who dares question me is a big hairy-legged feminist who couldn't keep a husband if she locked him under the stairs'.

Sounds like my ex.

He was all manly SSG.

All manly and rough with big calloused hands from all the kite-flying he does.

There's literally nothing that turns me on more than a man that can handle a kite.

I am always one of the 'Give the guy a chance, let's give him the benefit of the doubt that he is a loving husband' crew.

Then they turn out to be a tool, just to annoy me.

oooh... kite flying... dangerous that is...

haha!!

tortoise - I went a bit hot and cold for a moment there

I do that to people, Jamie.

How fucking annoying when you try and give serious suggestions to what seems like a normal question and then they turn out to be a total knob!

I did wonder when I saw his "contribution" on the condom thread.

Is fuck off and die an appropriate response now?

I am not sure about this. Why are you all so sure op was a trouble maker? Bit bemused here, have I missed something?

I don't think he was a troublemaker. I thought he was dreamy

If a woman posted on MN about her DH needing a hobby would she get the same number of posts as 'Andy'? I think the general response would be more along the lines of 'it's up to him to sort himself out'.
There is something about the dynamic of a man posting on here that seems to upset the status quo, IMO. I think we should be above either slagging him off or squabbling amongst ourselves. Not seemly.

Er, there wasn't any squabbling amongst the posters, or slagging him off until he started acting like a cock.

He got the same treatment as a woman who posted asking for advice would get if she started posting in an aggressive and shitty manner.

"Of course I've asked her what she would like to do.

Durrrrr!"

This after many helpful suggestions and some gentle ribbing - which happens to women posters too.

I get what you are saying tametiger - occasionally men on MN do get a rough ride, generally though this only when they come out with the "man-hating feminist" line - that irked a bit. An dhe only trotted that out when someone dared to not totally agree with him.

I don't think he was ready to hear anything that challenged him. Whether that makes him a troll at the outset I can't be sure. I personally suspect not, in this case

I think there is more of a tendency for people to pile in when the poster is a man.

However in this case the poster turned out to be a bit of a cock so all's well that ends well.

What did he say on the condom thread?
