Breaking Up is Hard to Do

Actually, it’s pretty easy once you figure out that is what you want to do. It it takes to long to figure it out, leave anyway.
 

If you said one of the few there’d be no problem. If it’s many there’s definitely a problem. Good luck with whatever you do
 

My wife of 27 years and I have very little in common from a hobbies standpoint. But she is happy to let me do my hobbies and I am happy to let her do her hobbies. Having separate hobbies lets you get away from each other every now and then which is not a bad thing.

The real problem is dating/marrying someone who doesn't share your interests and doesn't want to let you enjoy your interests on your own. People who want to dictate how you spend your time are toxic.
 

They might have the "dude" version by now :)

Well you must have had something in common as you have been dating him. When I met my wife I think we were just infatuated with each other . We certainly didn't know each other. I had just come home from the Marines and was in Viet Nam and was running and drinking hard. I got in a minor motor cycle accident and went to the hospital for a follow up and spotted this cute blonde student nurse. I ask her out and got married 3 months later. She asked me to quit smoking and drinking and I did. Chris saved my life. She was a farmers daughter who left home for the 1st time when she went to nursing school. All my Chris did was work the farm and go to school. After we got married and I got out of college and got a job in law enforcement and we could we save a little money so we started doing things together. I taught her how to hunt ,fish and shoot a bow and arrow. We started hiking and saw someone with a detector and we bought a couple of Bounty Hunters to get started. Chris didn't care too much for detecting but went along with me and hiked while I detected.

I buried my beautiful Chris just shy of 48 years of marriage. Cancer took her from me. That was almost 2 years ago and I am crying my eyes out as I type this but I am doing it to let you know if you ,love this guy it may be worth the effort.

Well , " Where your heart is , there your treasure is also". Most of the women in my life ( who matter to me ) have looked at me funny about my love of metal detecting ,hey , they look at me the same way when I tell them of my love for chess too !
Live the life you love !!
 

The truth is people get married for all kinds of reasons. Take my friend Abe. He is 96, and he recently told me he was getting married. I was puzzled about why at 96 and asked some questions. Is she pretty, I ask. No, he said, not at all. Well, is she good in bed? I have no idea, he replied. Then she must be a great cook, I said. Nope, she hates to cook. Then why are you marrying her? Because she can drive, he replied. That old man knows what he is doing.
 

Treasure hunting is just one of the many things the one I have been dating and I do not have in common.

Well, someone had to ask....So here goes. What do you have in common? My wife and I have a lot of separate interests, but we still have a few common interests and enjoy sharing and spending time with one another.
 

But do you love each other? That's what matters.
