Hey, LMO, great insight!

My husband and I have different interests too but we're also equally indifferent :-) a few of the same like RVing and boating (have to, live on the water :-) but our personalities get in the act too.

My husband, if he decides to do something, studies it and works hard at learning how to do it well and then does it well and consistently. I, on the other hand, am a true dilettante :-) and though I can do things well I am lazy and often don't follow through or think things through. The example I use for myself is when he spilled his milk once and how he spent 10 minutes cleaning the carpet well (I was amazed) whereas I would have gotten paper towels and soaked up as much as I could have in 30 seconds and been done with it :-)

So, even though we do the "same" activities our level of investment is different. That's okay with both of us though, we do what we "can" because we like doing it together.
