That does seem like it would be nice, I've never experienced it
TBH, I've experienced near zero instances of any woman having any sort of hobby outside of shopping, , etc. May be sexist to say, but I'm just throwing out my personal experience. We do both really enjoy traveling, but it's tricky when I would like to balance couple trips with things like track weekends, camping trips, etc. and I only get 20 days of PTO/year and she has summers off, spring break, two weeks off for Christmas, etc.
Just today she randomly texted me suggesting we take a trip to the beach next weekend... I had planned to do car shit/yard shit and hang out here as I won't be home the next three weekends and it's cold is the point of the beach and did we on a house if we're not going to spend time on it. She got that I'm not excited about this prospect and had some tude...
That's exactly how it happens... It's never a flat out go fuck your POS plastic dick mobile that keeps falling apart.
It's more like, awe lets re-ignite our passion hunny bunny, why don't we take a weekend getaway in the country it'll be so much fun. Meanwhile brown santa is showing up at the house with long awaited deferred maintenance parts for said POS, so you can finally drive it. And at that point you're faced with the choice of either finger blasting a tub of lithium grease for your suspension bushings, after wiping away the tears that were caused by the big D or going in on the holier of holy with the future mother of your children.
The choice becomes easy.
Master craftsmanship here.

Yes it's a cool car. But prepare the lube/sawdust.
to be honest, I would be if my wife dumps me for my choices, even if I have an 80's Ferrari or an old German Audi barge that I can take to cars and coffee
Yeah it was more of a
My wife doesn't really like the , the track day cash outlay, or time spent fucking with it all, but she doesn't really say anything about it, just kinda leaves it be as my own thing and lets me do it in peace. It's just a fine line because if I say that I want to spend time wrenching or tracking or whatever rather than do things with her it can cause

Unfortunately, I've experienced the exact same thing...and it's a large part why IDGAF about cars anymore.
Might have been a good thing?

My guess would be that Chris took some time off because he has read the dialogue on this page 1,345 times and decided to spend some of his free time doing something besides beating a horse to death.

Mine loves camping, hiking, kayaking. As do I, so that's what I focus on now. Works well, but I'm lucky in that regard.

Yeah the only thing that we both really enjoy is good food and drink, and that's a terrible "hobby" - expensive (especially when you have to travel to find it) and turns you into a lardass.

You've been missed a lot around here.
I hope your sabbatical was spent doing the above outdoor activities and not slaving away at HQ.

There's some real gold in here. Nice work. Finger blasting a tub of lithium grease.

Sabbatical wasn't intentional, my life just got consumed by an insane amount of stuff. I think it's calming down...hopefully.
I wish I could GTFO...a break is strongly needed. I'm headed right toward pulling the ripcord sooner rather than later.

Evidently I found a where-in we're ok with each other having their own interests and hobbies.
It's tough to find an independent woman that wants to maintain her own hobbies. There really aren't many out there from my experience.

Nah, that's about the norm. is sharing the same hobbies so pursuing them doesn't have to be a balancing act.
I guess for most couples it's easier - the big shared obsession is the and that's what life revolves around for both partners.
I don’t think I’d want us to have the same interests (we do have some), I need my space at times.
Yeah I don't want all the same - I'm more looking for one thing that's not travel/eating/drinking. Ideally something active, too bad we both hate exercise!
Maybe we should learn how to cook stuff in tiny portions in our tiny kitchen.

I got pants. My boy is constantly wearing shorts and long sleeve shirts.
This is the guy you met with the black 3rd gen MR-2 (Mr2 is his dad's now and he's got an SR20 240)

We found the final boss of Pull-a-part today.
Shit's on fire. Wonder what kind of critical hits this bitch puts out.
Makes me wonder what kind of subs/drivers and amps were in that at one point.

One of my friends got big into making his own sushi. Some others make their own breads and sourdough.
