Competitive sport even if only competing with yourself.

Is that a euphemism?
“Sorry, you weren’t supposed to see that but I didn’t think you’d come home so soon. I was just, er, competing with myself. I won”

Spicy food. She won’t eat anything hotter than a korma. Fine if I get a takeaway as I know she won’t steal mine. Rubbish if I want to cook something like a chilli con carne.

My wife would enjoy mtbing and hiking, but her health isn’t great which means her fitness is also not good.. and now we have sod all energy to do anything about it … *sigh*

Coriander

99.5% of films. I reckon we average one per year that is watched properly. Last year we’ve managed two…

Coffee. Including anything with coffee as an ingredient.

Ability to just slob about for the odd half day at home without getting irritable. Always has to be doing something.

🙂

Meat…

Sports…

🙁

Nothing smutty

Oh, erm…

My missus isn’t really into music or film. Sure, we’ve been to gigs and the cinema plenty of times, but I enjoy discovering new stuff and will take a chance on something I don’t know. She won’t

Good music.

YES!!
Worse, she doesn’t like to see ME sitting around relaxing; as soon as I stop working/ doing house things etc, and fire up the Xbox, TV or whatnot, that’s it, gotta go do something else.

– Going downhill. She will happily climb or ride on the flat all day.
– Scifi.
– Noel Fielding’s Luxury Comedy.

Adrenalin rush type things, she’s a scardey cat.
Heights. She won’t even walk over the Forth Road Bridge.
Adventurous cookery, or even just trying anything fancy!
Any food with fins.
Blowjobs. I like them, she doesn’t. Go figure. 🙄

Bumsex and drugs

fred dibnah’s age of steam

! That’s practically treason 🙂

Being quiet when I’m trying to concentrate on extreme geek Science TV.

Me talking, breathing or making any noise whatsoever when She’s watching Call the Midwife.

Which is hard as Miranda Hart And that programme makes me want to scream and smash everything in the house.

old punkrock and ska, oh and Alabama 3.
and horror films.

Camping.

my taste in music (two tone,ska,dub etc)
bicycles in general(working on that got her to think about buying a bike for work but not yet commited)
my taste in telly(mythbusters,ice pilots etc)
but wouldn’t be without each other and she puts up with quite a lot bike wise from me 😀

To be honest there’s no way me and Mrs Zip would choose each other on a dating site.
We don’t share many interests but still madly in love with each other.
Id like her to watch telly only if there’s something on,not switch it on whatever.

Curb Your Enthusiasm. Larry David has me in stitches but my partner just doesn’t get it?

xbox

I can sort of persuade her to do a co-op, but it’s soooo painful She doesn’t get the joy of FPS at all

Bless

Australia. I want to move there, so do the binlids. She doesn’t and as is the way of the world, she wins!

Same here Zippykona….on paper my wife and I have little in common, different views on the world etc but we make each other pretty happy 🙂

I know the OP said no bikes, but genuinely, that’d be the thing that I’d like my missus to get into most.

YES!!

See, thats just it. I get home earlier than her so do dinner, wash up, the washing, and repetitively put away her coats and shoes that always get discarded the night before, yet when we have nothing on, I’m expected to spend Saturday helping to tidy up 🙂

Films here. If I like a film I’ll watch it again (maybe a couple of times).
MrsSB will watch a film once and that’s it regardless of how much she enjoyed it. Weird.
Oh and kedgeree.

We both read books, we discuss all sorts from classics to scifi, and we are always in agreement.

Until we actually try and read the same book. I gave up recommending books to her because she seems to completely hate everything I suggest!

Me.
Liver.
Women.

Ice hockey. She’s unhappy that in 2 weeks, I’ve filled half the memory of the Sky+.

Luckily mine like mountain biking, but the chestnut that is films is a sticking point, especially sci-fi (I love, she doesn’t. At all). TV is an area of concern too; she’s happiest with Hollyoaks and Don’t tell the bride, I’d prefer to watch, well, anything but that really.

Other than that, she just disagrees with the Army rather than hating it, something that I can live with and, occasionally, bribe my way into doing things. For example, it cost me a kayak to go on a three weekend course and a new sofa to go to Afghan.

Having people around for dinner or drinks, OH doesn’t seem to like having people over, I’m always the one instigating anything like that.

Glupton1976 , ol’ buddy ol’ pal have you met my wife Jaclyn……. 😀

To be honest I think my other half just tolerates me 🙂

I like breathing……….my ex wife doesn’t like me breathing 😆

The ‘nothing smutty’ stipulation had me stumped for a good while.

But seriously, alcohol, I think.

She doesn’t drink much, either variety wise, frequency wise, or in volume. Whereas I drink pretty much anything, like a fish. That said, because I only drink socially, it’s probably a good thing, we have a cupboard full of alcohol.

I kind of wish she had some serious hobbies of her own (because I have so damn many).

Raisins.

So no hot cross buns or Christmas cake in our house 🙁

Coffee. Including anything with coffee as an ingredient.

Oh yeah, and this.

Which I think is kind of limiting, it’s drunk half the world over (if not more) and what better way to round off a good formal meal.

Curry.

Bikes, she’s still the only person I know that never learned to ride. Climbing, skiing also no chance. Recently started surfing & she didn’t fancy that either. After 20 years I’m resigned to having separate hobbies. Still, she never bats an eyelid at the weekends away or the money I spend on my sports.

If she lost half a stone and gave more blow jobs she’d be perfect, apart from the beard
