Stradivarius – I so agree. If your spouse has an interest, a hobby, why would you want to stop that person from doing that if it makes that person happy? Wouldn’t you want the person you’re with to be happy?
I never understood that. I encourage my husband to do the things he enjoys, surf, tinker/work on cars, ride his enduro, etc. At the same time, he would never tell me not to go skate at the beach.
Same situation. I dated someone who didn’t want me skating and the beach. I suspect he was insecure and didn’t want guys checking me out. It was sad. I had absolutely no interest in that whatsoever, in fact, loved when no one was there. Skate a lot faster.
I have a girlfriend that doesn’t want her guy to check out girls. I don’t have a problem if they look. I look too and I’m not a guy. I mean, they’re not gay, can you blame them for looking?
There needs to be trust in a relationship, among many other things.
