Can two people love each other, care for each other, and be activity uncompatable for the relationship to work? Thank you.

Yes, Ken. It's called still having your own lives, and identities ... and having mutual respect for that fact.

What if you have zero in common? Your free time is spent away from your partner doing things with other people....can that work?

Hi Ken...
Probably not
i would rather him enjoy some things i like..and vice versa...
and Eric and i like the waterfalls...picnic...dancing...hiking..and
so on...
How could a relationship work if we didnt enjoy things..
you need to spend some leisure time with each other...
How can you have ur things to do and his things to do..but not
with each other...
How can one grow and love each other..if lot of time apart...

I thought this was about "Activity Compatibility" ... ?
Don't know of any people, personally, that have zero
in common who are in a loving, committed relationship...

mbcasey: You meet someone and you like them. You like their attractiveness, humor, intelligence, etc.
What about everyday mundane compatability? I am not talking about serious topics of compatability such as politics, religion, raising children. I am talking about activity compatability.
Is that important to you in a relationship? Does it matter to you if you love movies and your partner would rather read a book? If you love dancing and your partner fakes a sprained ankle to get out of dancing?

Sure can to a point, my long term marriage, we liked different things, but we did have a few things that we enjoyed doing together. Maybe just taking walks or watching movies together. So we do need somethings to share together.What about everyday mundane compatability? I am not talking about serious topics of compatability such as politics, religion, raising children.

That's what I meant...you like to ride bikes, he doesn't. You like to read, he wants to see the movie instead he wants to go swimming..you hate the water...etc.
You may have the important compatable issues in common, but how about everyday things?

I suppose if you were completely opposed to each other's preferences it could be a problem, but generally speaking, I found it did not matter at all. In fact, it was probably a little better because we supported each other's passions rather than fight about them. Keeps you from being glued at the hip, as well.

Agreed but would make an effort--except for dancing--no way. Only slow.

Yep, being glued at the hip all the time isn't good either.
I couldn't expect anyone to have an interest in all the things I'm in to. I start talking about cars, building or magnetic resonance and people's eyes start glazing over.

Well, the way I see it - there's a big difference between having "zero in common" and having a difference in views of "activities / hobbies" ...
I'll sum it up, short & sweet. In my opinion, communication, understanding, trust, love, etc. - have a way sometimes of working 'things' out, overall. If you want to make something possible, I think that the effort put forth is ... well, yours ---- up to you / your partner.

I agree..having everything in common could get dicey.
I even get sick of myself sometimes....

Life as usual, although its been a lazy afternoon. I blame the coffee and Baileys.
Ken, I know what you mean.

Off course without question.

I just know that when I was looking for a relationship, I would only look at karaoke places. My resoning was if I am out where karaoke is everynight, I want my partner with me. It also sends a clear message that you are not looking for anything else

What if she wants to sing "Feelings", and you want to sing, "The Banana Boat Song"?...

Oh, very good questions, Ken. Yeah, I think it matters a lot. It's those little things when you're spending serious time with someone that often either annoy the hell out of you or make your time more enjoyable.
I don't think people who are Activity Incompatible can be compatible. It's that important, imo.
