People in moden times have become less active and initiative in their affections because of work sress and aesthetic tiredness. There may be bteak between boyfriends and girlfriends or couples since they have lacked of communication for long.
Check your affections, do you still have the same hobbies and topics? And do you thing this will affect your relationship?

Actually, me and my boyfriends hobbies and interests are really different from each other. For example, I love traveling but he is the stay at home kind of guy but despite the differences, we compromise so that any situation will be a win-win for the both of us. It affects our relationship in a good way because we both become open to each others interests that we always discover something new about each other.

We share same hobbie. We both sing. We both love eating. We both love watching same types of movie. We love surfing the net and play games.

At one point in my life, I was doing craft shows, and that involves a lot of tedious work. Hubby began to help me as much as he could. In fact, it became a family affair, with the kids pitching in.
Later, he bagan doing woodworking, so he would build and I would paint. It was a fun time, and we even made a little money from it.
We do share a lot of other interests as well, from amusement parks to casinos, but we have different interests, too. I love to read, he would rather watch TV. I learned to like football because he does, but I only watch the Steelers.
We.ve been together for a long time, so we must be doing something right

My boyfriend and I don't really share a lot of hobbies, but we do like doing things together and I definitely wouldn't say there is a lack of communication between us. He's more of an outdoors guy and likes football (playing and watching). The only sport I watch is cricket, and I am more of an indoors person, but both of us make compromises and I don't mind doing things he likes every now and then and he doesn't mind doing things I like every now and then (like taking me shopping, although he will complain about it the entire time!). We make it a point to spend time together and I think that is what matters, and not that you have the same hobbies.

As far as my experience serve me during the time I still have relationship with someone, me and my lover not sharing the same hobbies. It's kind of funny but for me, it's better that the hobbies are not shared the same. I like to hear something different my lover did on their hobbies but it's bored to listen to something within the same hobbies as what I did. Seriously for me, difference made me feel happy in the relationship.

Yup we do.. 80% of our hobbies and interests are the same. We both love music, watching movies, sporty activities like swimming/badminton/basketball, computers, and lots and lots of stuff. I believe that this can greatly affect our relationship. Because we get to spend time together at the same time really enjoying what we are doing because we are both into.
However I believe that you must also have differences. Like in our case, the remaining 20% is the differences in our interests and hobbies. I believe that this is also very important and can also greatly affect the relationship. Because you learn other things aside from your own likes, you will learn acceptance and understanding.
Having the same and the different interests and hobbies will add an spice to any relationship. :)

me and my boyfriend are together 24/7..and right now e both don't have a job...and are still financially supported by our parents... he is into music..he plays different instruments.., guitar, bass guitar and drums.. he wants me to sing when he's playing but i don't have a good voice so i tend to refuse and watch him pay instead..and we both developed interest in outings last summer..so we went to camping trips at beaches...so we were always together..lately he's into mountaineering and i really want to go with him but he doesn't approve because i don't have the endurance to survive...but i keep on pressing him on this issue..hopefully i'm coming with the next time he'll climb the mountain...so it's nice when you share hoobies with your partner too..
