Hi guys! So I am writing this from the perspective of a 25F and have been with my boyfriend 24M for 8 years, we currently own a house together and have pets, and have lots of amazing times together. We have lots of the same type of hobbies, fishing, camping, hiking, snowmobiling, snowboarding, ice fishing, tv shows and video games, going out to bars, and more! But, lately, since it is winter we are finding ourselves a little lazy. I am someone who kind of always wants to be doing something, but he likes to relax and scroll instagram and watch youtube in the evenings after work, totally okay but it’s almost every single day, I am sure I’m not helping him by just conforming to his way of relaxing. I’d prefer us to go snowboarding, hiking, walking in the snow, hanging out with friends, working out with me, just SOMETHING in the evening besides tv, dinner, tv, bed. I conform to his way of relaxing because I want to spend time with him after work but I can tell we’re both getting bored of this way of living. Even when I suggest stuff, he doesn’t seem interested, though. I think I just need to get off my ass and do my hobbies without him instead of waiting around for him. I just need to tell him I am going hiking after work do you want to come with? I hope that’ll inspire him to do the same and be interested in coming. Because right now with both of us too comfortable on the couch it doesn’t help things. My question basically is, if your girlfriend had hobbies and pursued them, does it inspire you to get going and want to do more with life? Thanks! submitted by /u/shartypoopies
