I watch him play xbox for hours and hours.

Oh well, it could be worse.
And I did buy him the xbox 360 afterall.

I watch all those home improvement shows with him and pretend like I love it

Haha this is funny, my BFF & I were just talking about this!

Well, this past weekend I went to a Wu-Tang concert with my boyfriend. It was definitely not my scene! But he's loved them ever since he was in middle school & he's big on "real" hip-hop, so when he asked me to go, of course I said yes! I felt a little awkward at first, but I could tell he was having a good time. He was thankful that I went with him, even though he knew I wasn't a big fan.

I get to choose the next concert we go to, so I'm thinking of seeing a symphony or a ballet. He's more than willing come with me too!

Well it's not that I'm not a little into it, but "boxing." He loves it, I like it.... It's alright. Like we watched the Trinidad vs Jones Jr. and it sucked but I was there to watch it with him. I didn't watch the first few fighters. I just watched the main fight.

I go to car shows with him...he's huge into old muscle cars, actually obsessed is probably a better word. I go to most of the local area shows with him, they're sooooo boring...I'm a good wife

I let him think that I think it's cute when he acts like a big baby when he's sick. I don't necessarily think it's cute, but I do like how he just wants to be around me when he feels bad.

NdHerbert - I do the exact same thing - I will sit and watch him play it but i bought it for him so my bad! I too watch the home improvement shows and thought I do like them I don't LOVE them like he does!

Of course I do things just for him! He does the same for me!
I watch him geek out on his vids too, and i watch his car shows with him every saturday and sunday morning (ONLY THOSE DAYS!).
And once in awhile when he REALLY want Pizza73 I let him order it and break my diet rules too.

Car shows!!We go to the canadian international autoshow every year for his birthday....and I HATE it. I tried suggesting he bring one of his friends this year...but he insists on taking me :S
I also watch hockey with him...several times a week. I dont mind hockey...but he is a diehard Canadiens fan...so I pretend I love them as much as he does. He has been trying to get me to memorize the team roster...that I would not do for anyone else

He makes me watch the travel/home improvement channels...it blows balls watching boring azz tv shows. But he'll watch THE HILLS (or any other realiti TV show) and the news. So it goes hand in hand.

Oh, and for xmas I got him the Guitar Hero bundle pack and he looooves playing, but LOVES IT WAY MORE when I play with him. Sometimes its fun, but there are days where I just wanna chuck the damn guitar into the TV.

the things we do for the men we love!

*reality

my bad.

Okay, this is going to sound weird but... I go with him when he wants to go shopping. It's weird, I know, but sometimes I just want to kick back and he'd rather go see what's on sale. o_O

I go to Circuit City and see movies I'd never choose myself.

One of my gift for his birthday this year was two tickets for a soccer match we'll go to see together. I don't like it at all but he's been asking me for a while so I decided it's time for me to give up...

I switched fabric softeners.
Trust me, that was a HUGE deal. Vanilla Snuggle rocks. But he thinks it smells girly (which it does). And its too much trouble to do all of our laundry separately.

I'll watch CPAC, the American presidential races, the fishing channel, and sit quietly while he plays video games. But, since I usually have my knitting with me, or some homework, it doesn't bother me too much.

I feign interest in things related to construction. "Look, another crane!" Yeah, I know, I can see it.

I also am trying to change my sleep schedule to be more in synch with him so he can get more sleep.

I also learned how to play ultimate frisbee so I could see him on the weekends

I listen to him talk late at night when he wakes me up complaining he can't sleep sometimes.

I watch football with him. I don't hate football, but I would rather watch the America's Next Top Model marathon. But he likes it when I sit there with him, so I do it.

Jessie M - you have a good man!
GO HABS GO!!!!!

I listen to him talk about guitars;) And play his electric guitar, even though sometimes I just really want him to stop and let me study.

I go to the Formula One races with him, absolutely do not like it, But he goes to the Ballet for ME!!

I let him watch football allllllll day on sundays even though I hate hate hate hate hate football. Really...I let him watch sports most days of the week.

I eat white rice even though I'd like for us to switch to brown rice (I'm trying to eat better...but he's Chinese and the white rice is important to him). Actually, I make a lot of compromises when it comes to diet. There are a lot of things I love that he hates so I don't cook them. I don't make anything with a lot of cheese and we've never been to a mexican restaurant...sigh, I miss those things.

I played Brian Lara cricket with him on Xbox even though I think cricket is THE MOST BORING GAME IN THE WORLD and ended up beating one of his friends one day, which made the friend a sore loser and my boyfriend extremely proud of me. And I watch Match of the Day dutifully to the point that I'm probably the only girl in England and definitely the only girl in the US who can whistle the theme song.

I listen and I try to understand things about cars and motorcycles. lol He likes the show drake and josh and I am not a big fan of it, yet I watch it with him all the time.

Lots of football. And hearing him talk on end about the technical aspects of the music he listens to.

But I know he could care less when I babble about new makeup or cute shoes. But that's what a relationship is all about, understanding and respecting one another's interests!

he loves watching basketball and baseball, neither of which are sports i'm into, but i do it for him =)

Marynanabananas, that's what friends are for! Grab a bunch of girlfriends, go out to dinner and eat all the cheesy enchiladas that you can stomach

I hate mushrooms but he loves them so if I order something with mushrooms (like pizza), I just pick them out. If he orders food with mushrooms, he'll tell them to hold the mushrooms. It's all about compromise.

Definetly pretending to LIKE video games... BORING but its all about compromise!

when he rents those horrendously gory gross and violent movies..and some action too...not fun, but hey he likes them =) he sits thru some chick flicks too

i listen to his music/go see his type of bands play. he owes me a HUGE concert for all the little ones he's dragged me too
...altho as bad as it sounds i like when i "agree" to it bc then he tries extra hard to be cute boyfriend bc he knows i just did him a favor haha

Bad action movies much? But he watches mine too. We don't really put each other through anything terribly unpleasant, but there have been some hours of my life watching Drunken Master and Crank that I won't get back.

Oh yes, I thought of something else... Tool shopping. He's a mechanic so tools are very important to him. But I can only tolerate it for 10-15 minutes before I start whining and then wander off to find something more interesting to shop for.

I kiss him early in the morning when he has morning breath, even though my form of birth control (Implanon implant) makes me highly nauseous when I smell things like that. He has no idea.

One word - Sportscenter.

I visit his cousins and uncles houses, and listen to the women gossip, which is really annoying.

I watch sports with him. Or go see a movie I know he'd prefer to watch. I cook him a big breakfast whenever he stays over my place. And dinners, and lunch, come to think of it. I bake him cookies and slices to take home with him after he visits me on the weekend. I play with his pet ferret (who bit me on the breast the first time I met him!). I give him massages. I listen to him talking about cars. The list goes on!

I do all this with pleasure though, as I love him and he always returns the favour without ever complaining. For example, he did four hours of hard gardening and pruning for me last weekend with me asking (or even hinting!). So ya, I'm happy to give him a back rub or two.

i went to the star trek cafe for lunch last time we were in vegas. ever been there? freaks! the wait staff is in full costume meaning make-up and all. that is digging deep, lol.

The biggest thing I ever did for him was move to a really sh*tty small town in the midwest for a year - but it was really only for a year, and after that we moved to NYC.

But. On an ongoing basis, the weirdest thing I do for him is fold laundry. I usually do all the laundry, but, if for some weird reason he has done it, he HATES to fold it, and always asks me to do it, and I always say yes.

And. In return - besides supporting me in the manner inwhich I have become accustomed - he buys me flowers almost every week, puts up with me asking if I look good, and tells me he loves me all the time.

Biggest thing is probably multiple football games during a weekend...HOWEVER a) he has not pushed any of the games unless it's a Pats game and b) he watches re-runs of ANTM on VH1 with me. It's a great trade off

My boyfriend is a jazz trumpet player, mainly inspired by those from the swing and bebop eras, so I listen to him talk endlessly about jazz music and musicians. Lately I've been letting him read excerpts from Miles Davis' autobiography to me and if he laughs at a story, I chuckle also, even though I have no idea why it's supposed to be funny. Did you know Bud Powell used to walk around with a smile on all day and he never spoke a word to anyone and one time Charlie Somethingorother went up to him and asked "Bud, what you always smilin' at, man?" and bud said, "You." HAAAAAH! Yeah I don't get it either. But sometimes I even ask him questions and he is more than happy to answer them. He gets so excited, the dear.

Hahaha these stoies are all so funny and cute, they all remind me of my boyfriend too. I sit through hours and hours of him talking about poker..he's obsessed.. and after a big game with his friends he feels he has to tell me every card he got, and how he got a "flush" or a "pair" or a "bad beat", when i don't know what any of these things mean! But I listen, and I smile, and nod, becaus I love him

These make me laugh !

As for myself, I watch him play Call of duty on his playstation, I listen to him talk about golf just about 24/7 because he truly is obsessed with the sport...Though it's all in good spirits that I do these things because I love him and I know he appreciates it.

Well
He sings in a hard metal-core band and he sings with this horrible scary diabolic voice and every time he asks me if i like it.. i try to give him my best opinion.
even thou i wish he would sing with his normal BEAUTIFUL voice which he has... damn...
also he bought a new XBOX 360, which im proud to say he gives more attention to me than to it. and bought a viva piñata game just for me which i havent played yet.. cuz he says he wont bring the xbox to my house cuz he comes to hang out with me * ^^ * sweet.
I just hate when we go out, he knows so many people that sometimes i think he forgets about me when we're in a crowded place where he knows lots of people ...

I hang out with him and his friends even know I can't stand them
