It's hard when you learn that the person you love doesn't share your enthusiasm for certain things. I've had little hints about things, but Cyn was taken by surprise. That's a lot tougher to deal with.

Current Mood: unhappy

Aw, you both have so many interests, you can't possibly share enthusiasm for everything! Be glad for what you do share - it's way more than many couples.

Yeah, but she didn't know I didn't like her thing, and was very unhappily surprised when she found out.

yeah, what she says.

Damn! She doesn't like Dr Pepper? I know, I shouldn't joke about it. I gave up long ago trying to find the perfect person who is passionate about everything I am. I guess it helps to not have strong passions except for each other.

I could write a dissertation on all the things I like the M'Luv not only doesn't share but thinks are downright stupid time-wasting efforts. It's a moot point, because I have no time to play tennis or do 90% of my other hobbies anyway.

I'm sure there are things that Cyn enjoys that you aren't as enthusiastic about. Everybody is different.

That was the big surprise for me, he doesn't care for something that is very dear to me.

i cannot, for the life of me, get as enthused about F1 racing
as james is. yeah, it's cool and some of the tracks are great
in places that are pretty, but it's just not my thing.
NO sport is really my thing.

also, usually one partner is more easy going than the other-
in the past, that has been me, but with james, it's him!
he doesn't care what we eat, for instance, and i get
cravings or migraines that limit my desire for certain foods.
i know, i know- this is getting off-topic! dinner isn't as
important as your deal.

it's dear to you, yes. whatever it is, at least he,
the one you love who loves you, can appreciate
how dear it is to you
and you are free to find others
who care for it like you do~
*mwa*

You'll get through it. Patrick's two passions in life (other than me) are volleyball and math, neither of which I find remotely interesting. On top of that, he's a programmer and I'm a law student, so I can just about get the gist of the work things that annoy or thrill him if I listen very carefully.

We still get along :)

Yeah, but she didn't know I didn't like her thing, and was very unhappily surprised when she found out.

If you both felt the same way about everything, you would have less to discuss and argue about. Arguing is healthy, and much more fun when you know the person you are arguing with is going to kiss you goodnight and cuddle with you later.
