This is a tragedy to me, one of the many reasons I married my wife is because she's the only person who has ever been excited to hear my info dumps.
Same, I feel so bad for people whose spouses aren't interested. I hope they're exaggerating here, because the story is sad.
My story, I'm a giant train nerd. Any types, got model trains, ride them frequently, it's my thing. For the first few years I was terrified to mention it, and man do I regret not doing it earlier. She is interested because I'm interested! She now shares my interests with me. We've gone on now 6 or so long distance sleepers here in the states and love it. I can't imagine having a spouse who actively didn't want to share interests
That's so freaking cute! My spouse is a dino and space babe and while I've never been invested enough to really get into either, I love learning and I love her excitement. So we take turns info dumping and I now have a new found love for paleontology.
That's so awesome, that's a fun world to explore! I wish you many fun times exploring old bones!
She still asks on occasion, but she takes me more seriously when I say it's nothing all that important.
Oh if I'm thinking through something that we both need to have a say in I absolutely share my thoughts as she does with me. j
That's a bit more comforting to hear. I love a story about healthy communication.
My spouse now knows more about 3d printing and the complex geopolitical state of fantasy settings than most actual fans do.
