What is your DH passionate about vs. what are you

[kiminky]

passionate about?

And I don't just mean each other More like certain political issues, etc. Like my husband hunts, so he is interested in gun laws and wildlife management, whereas those aren't necessarily my top priorities. I am more interested in immigration reform, but that's not on his radar as much.

I'm more of a social issues person. He, like your husband, is more focused on gun laws (he skeet shoots and does competition shooting)

Thankfully he and I are on the same page politically. He completely supports my views, and when he doesn't, I needle him until he does. And vice-versa. #romance

Oh, he's extremely into Apple products, I appreciate them, but he could spend ten hours on his new iPhone.  He's also obsessed with stocks and math.  I am into sleeping and Lifetime.

I think my SIL was similarly 'needled' until her views were more in line with my BIL's.

I could also medal in sleeping.

Also he's a very passionate Master Tech and I'm very passionate about history.

Politically, he is very passionate about waste, fraud, and abuse in government work places and government contract corporations. He will rant for ages about the inefficiency in the defense budget. He is also very passionate about work place discrimination and comes home with the various "how to be respectful" papers from work and is all "I CANT BELIEVE THIS NEEDS TO BE SAID AND I THINK THEY NEED TO CHANGE THIS THIS AND THIS". Not so politically, he gets huffy about nuclear power and evolution.

I get ranty about pretty much everything related to food -- access, quality, regulations; No Child Left Behind; and medical rights and health care. Not politically, it's pretty contained to dogs, body image issues, mental health, and early childhood education.

I don't think either of us are *not* passionate about the things the other is interested in, we just aren't as knowledgeable about it.

H is passionate about sports and I am passionate about shopping, lol. We are deep.

[leeluu]

So I guess this is a confession but it feels good to get it out... DH is very passionate about crane/trucks, the mechanics of how cranes/trucks work, and boats. And him talking about this stuff bores the shit out of me. I am the opposite of passionate about these things.

[papie]

Regarding politics and issues I am the passionate one: feminism, poverty, environment, animal welfare. H is more of a "there are so many perspectives and positions that it is hard to take a stand when you are not an expert" person.
We are both passionate about wine, food and our kids, lol

Well he sounds like a real hoot at cocktail parties

[Deleted]

I'm more vocal but we're on the same page politically. It's actually been fun watching him grow more vocal, more political, and more liberal over the years.

[Deleted]

H and I are both pinko socialists so pretty much on the same page politically

Our personal interests vary a little bit more. He's a techie, loves apple products, nice cars, sports. I'm passionate about skiing, reading, navel gazing. That about keeps me fully occupied

[fuckyourcouch]

I am really rabid passionate about gay rights, women's issues, and most socially liberal issues. My h cares about those things but he is not as into it as I am.

We are on the same page politically. It wouldn't work if we weren't.

[RoxMonster]

We're both very passionate about animal issues, specifically rescuing animals and we give to and volunteer with local animal shelters throughout the year. We're also both very passionate about education issues, since I'm a teacher and he is a certified teacher, though not currently working in the profession.

[CurlyQ284]

DH is passionate about his jeep and his kids. He doesn't get very worked up over political and social issues. He says stuff like "if its outside this house its not my concern". He has opinions he just won't argue with people. He is also verryyyyy laidd back so its hard to get any emotion out of him.

Outside of my family, I'm passionate about a lot of political and social issues. Women's issues and gay rights are at the top.

Film. I am pretty much an exclusive reality TV watcher, and I can count on one hand the number of movies I've sat through in the last two years.

He is also really passionate about politics, current events. He's very smart and well read, and I'm not, lol. I have no interest in discussing it, especially with the level of passion and dedication required to hold my own with him.

Only reality TV, really?

My H is very passionate and knowledgeable about politics, it intimidates me.

Him: music, space, learning about anything, video games (some), hockey

Me: books, teaching, theater, politics

Both: Breaking Bad

Meth is our unity horse.

[Mrs.Rad888]

I'm passionate (to the point of obsession) about baseball. I'm also passionate about sleeping, reading, and women's issues.
DH has a lot of interests, but I don't know if he's passionate about anything, except putting out the best product possible at work (but that doesn't bleed over to home).

We're somewhat compatible politically, but I have some views that are more liberal than his, and we can't really have a productive conversation about it. I think we both take our political views too personally.
