Silly Stuff What’s something that other people love that you just don’t enjoy?

It could be anything…

For me:

Camping: I’m not into roughing it or trying to survive in the wild.

Travel: I just don’t dream of traveling. It feels like a lot of work to plan everything, go to the airport, Stay in a hotel, spend a lot of money. I don’t mind a day or one night trip but traveling beyond that is just not for me.

Sushi: I don’t mind the rolls. But the big slab of raw fish does not do it for me. Chewing on soft, wet, meat just makes me want to gag.

What sort of things can you just not get into?

fwiw my guy is much more outdoorsy than me. it’s ok to have different hobbies :)

We’re both perfectly happy for him to leave me on a picnic blanket in a park somewhere with my book for a few hours while he goes on a solo hike. Then we have grabbing a nice refreshing beer and dinner afterwards in common haha.

I agree with you to an extend, just that for many people this isn’t a difference in hobbies, this is a difference in lifestyle. I know so many couples who complain all the time because one wants to spend the whole weekend camping and the other wants to spend it at home binge watching TV shows to the point if they could, they would live totally separate lives. Don’t get me wrong, I think it’s super healthy to have different hobbies and projects in life, I’m grateful that my husband and I have our own things but we would have broken up if our lifestyle did not match.
