Would you engage in a activity you don't like just because your partner does ?

Maybe. But no churchgoing, pedophilia, religion or other low-life activity.

I feel silly in a fireman's uniform...but whatever it takes...

Who hasn't?

Within reason, of course. Who wouldn't?

Sometimes I watch football when my husband is watching because I enjoy hanging out with him. Sometimes I find something else to do.

Would depend on the degree of my not-liking-it. I'm not one that thinks a loving couple need 100% activity sharing...

Sure. I have in the past and they have too.

Yes, with a smile at least once. The second time...well that depends...

Life is full of little compromises.

Depends on what it is.

I'll try most things once. If I don't like the activity but my partner does, they can go ahead without me.

2

I have and probably would again, depending on what it is. Hunting? No. Going to a basketball game? Sure. And of course, I would expect him to do the same for me.

Of course. Every healthy relationship involves supporting your partner in their work and passions. Sometimes that means doing something you'd not do of your own accord like watch a sport, or go to a concert.

Of course, this all assumes activities that don't run into hard limits. I would never pressure my lady into doing something that was a hard limit.

2

Yes ... but within limits ... one cannot or should not become depleted of one's own desires and aspirations just to please ... but compromises are unavoidable in a healthy relationship.

Within reason, yes.

Yes I'm a people pleaser.

That would depend on the activity, always. My reaction would also depend on how important it was to my partner that i go with her.

In any case, such romantic partnership would include a mutual understanding that we are two individuals going through life together, so we each have a right to do what we each need to do. .

Everything is negotiable. Tit for Tat and all that.

I appreciate a partner who is willing to do things with me that they normally would not do. However!!!! When dating or starting a new relationship, beware! I have seen too many people that do things out of their comfort zone to please or “get” the new girlfriend/boyfriend. The charade can last a couple years, but people revert to who they really are, eventually.

If my significant other wanted to do it, and it wasn’t abusive, and if she needed my assistance - I would consider it.

As long as it doesn’t hurt animals or degrade anyone.

What do you mean?
What sort of activity?

Do you mean things like going to a dog show if that's what I'm into? Just to spend time with me? (that's highly endearing)
Does it mean I go to a steam engine convention even tho I'm not into that? Sure- I'd do that for someone I love who wants me with them.
Or....do you mean like ...uh oh i dunno. Rimming after a long day sweating at work? That would be a NO, no matter how much I loved you. Hard boundary there.

Yep, been there, done that -- all the way from visiting antique shops and furniture stores for stuff we don't need, want or have room for -- to BDSM.... and it works the other way too -- she suffered through days at car and plane museums and .... well, gentlemen don't tell. That's marriage folks.

I tell her you know what I like if she's up for it yes if she is not she says no. I respect that, I whine a little bit but I still respect that.
