I was reading a Glamour Magazine the other day and ran across this question and then today I was watching a talk show and they asked this same question: What is something that you do with or for your guy that you don't particularly enjoy but you do it b/c they do enjoy it. In the magazine there were a variety of answers, some not TV appropriate! Just wondering, what do you do for or with your patient that you don't enjoy?

What can I do next?

this is going to sound cheesy but nothing because generally i like the activity because i'm with him. as in i wouldn't have gone to a sporting event regularly before but I did for him and had fun because I was with him and now enjoy going. the same with watching sports on tv, it used to annoy M. and now I kind of like it. I'm not someone you'd see putting it on myself but I enjoy it none the less.
the things i really don't enjoy like watching some of his shows, I dont do, I can easily go to another room=)
and I enjoy all intimate acts so there and iissue there..i like giving

Watching sports. I am "asportsual"... I don't hate them, don't like them, just don't care for them in particular. I'm actually going to Seattle with him this month to watch two Yankees games up there...he's a huge Yankees fan (sorry Mariners fans). This would not be the perfect way to spend two child-free days in my book, but I know he will be loving every minute of it.

JustM-- you will be my inspiration those days... I'm taking a couple magazines just in case, but I do hope I enjoy myself as well.

I go to sporting events and car shows without a qualm and he goes to quilting shows and antique shops with nary a complaint. We each attempt to be involved/ask intelligent questions/be there but really it is something done purely out of love for the other person. We enjoy each other's company so it's okay even if the venue is not a preferred setting. Such is what makes a happy marriage I figure.

When I was younger and in better physical shape (and he was younger and in better physical shape) we were very adventurous and willing to try jsut about anything that didn't involve anyone else. If your lover is getting excited it certainly adds excitement for both.
But I have to say that having been through a really, really rough 3 years with parents, very sick child, husband in a serious auto accident, work being very complex, etc I've gotten to a point right now that I'm jsut not into oral sex. I imagine there will be a time in the future where I'll get back to it - but I'm just too exhausted! My feeling is he's gotten plenty as have I - and neither of us will die deprived of adventure - and we will get back there one day I'm certain. But right now, I'm in my 50's, perimenopausal, and completely wiped almost all the time due to the stress of dealing with physically & emotionall needy people on all sides. We look forward to the day when the older family members are on the other side of eternity (not to be mean - we love them truly - but it's draining) and the teens are more grown and mature. We are looking forward to long road trips and leisurely vacations and great sex in hot tubs and on private balconies & staircases. But until then we grab what we can.

Going to his dr appointments. It never fails, when I have a d rare day off during the week, he magically has a dr visit. He likes me to go because it's at the VA and he is always there for hours.
No, I do not want to spend my day off, with no kids, sitting in the waiting room, but, yes, of course I'll go with you honey. :) He thinks I like it. It's ok, I'm sure he suffers through a whole lot of things for me.

Playing D&D type of games and board games. We're both big geeks, but for him the games are his hobby, you should see the collection of games and the books he has on different settings and rules. I'm cool with playing, mostly it's the adult interaction I'm after be cause we usually get together with a group of people he knew in college.

There's only one "bedroom" activity that I could pass on, but he knows and I don't think it actually crosses his mind as an option very often anyway.

We have a very open relationship (not other couples open). We both are willing to try just about anything for the other. There is only a couple of things that are just ok, but i still do. Most things i end up liking :) Sorry, some of the things are way TMI, but i dont mind doing most things for the hubs :)
