Have you experienced this sort of thing in your relationship(s)?

What sort of things do you enjoy/appreciate now because of your relationship that you didn't before, if any?

Well, one of the reasons we are even together is, of course, mutual interests. His love of James Lee Burke's writing and His taste in music is what won my heart that first day several years ago

We continue to share a love of books, music, camping, cult films and many other things. We don't have exactly the same tastes, of course, but they are complementary and we have both expanded our interests in sharing with each other.

If there's anything I know (a little) more about now than when I entered this relationship it would be football. I grew up watching it at school and with friends on TV but was never really interested and had no real understanding of all the little nit-picky rules and regulations. He is a Steelers fan and loves football in general so I checked out "Football For Dummies" from the library where I work and dove in. It really breaks it down for someone who doesn't have much of a grasp of the subject at all (i.e - a "dummy")

He has learned about NASCAR from me and I've expanded His tastes in both music and books. It continues to be fun as we both expand our horizons a bit...........luci

Like any other relationship, shared interests, or lack there of, can make it or break it. If I can't be friends with a sub male first, then I really don't have any interest in spending (wasting) time with him doing anything else. The kink alone just isn't enough. There just has to be something to fill in the gaps in conversation over dinner.

I like a balance - at least a couple of shared interests, being supportive of the unshared interests (ask how it's going, maybe come spectate, perhaps even giving it a try if it seems like it might be fun), but not feeling like you must be Siamese twins and do *everything* together. Sometimes hobbies mesh well. For example, my Master enjoys photography, so he came and took photos and video of one of my gymnastics practices and my competition. He sometimes helps me with my stretches, as I get better range of motion with help, and occasionally he incorporates it into play, but he's not really interested in doing gymnastics himself. If he were bored watching, I certainly wouldn't expect him to come, or would at least encourage him to bring his computer or a book so that he could be occupied when I wasn't actually performing. One of his other hobbies is physics/electronics experiments. I have some background in that general area, but wasn't familiar with some of the specific areas he was exploring. He gave me a brief explanation, and I've read up a bit on those specific topics so that I can discuss them with him more freely, but I'm not planning to get a bunch of equipment and make my own set-up for it.

Back when I was looking, at least *some* compatibility in this area was pretty important to me. I get bored just sitting around watching TV.

i have a wide range of things that intrest me so theres most always something to catch my intrest. i realy like rope(shibari) but its not one of my Mistres intrests, bull whips are a hard limit only due to my ptsd from multiple deployments, this has become Mistress limit as well. my love for cooking and house work is very apreciated. W/we have many shared intrests and tis has added to the dynamic W/we share. im a perpetual morning person and have to be reminded to keep some of my energy for later when the rest of the house rises. (popcorn from crazy frog is a peppy little song as well)

My hobbies are drag racing and shooting handguns...

That's so easy for a man to get along with it's almost like cheating!

I think in any long-term relationship there will end up being hobby synergies- in some cases, the other person exposes you to things that you were not previously interested in only because you'd never been aware of them before. I try to encourage all my wife's hobbies, and can find *something* interesting in just about anything, with the possible exception of watching cooking shows on TV. I don't expect her to be fascinated by mine, but I appreciate that she'll listen and learn things about them.
