Hey Reddit,
​
I want to preface this by saying my gf and I love each other very much and we’re very happy with one another. We both really care for the other, are great with communication, and trust each other a lot.With that being said, let me begin. My gf is a very talented ice skater and spends a lot of her time practicing and participating in competitions. I am very proud of her and happy that she’s following her passion. However, one of my problems is the fact that we don’t have a lot of activities in common. We mainly see each other during school and whenever we plan dates, but other than that, we don’t see each other that much. Also, I believe having activities in common with your partner is important because it brings you closer and gives you more to talk about. The latest ice skating thing she is doing is a sort of dance on ice, and she has another partner to participate with. She has already mentioned that this partner is in his 20’s and she’s not interested in him in a romantic way, but I just feel bad because this other guy spends more time with her than I do and they just have this thing in common. I’m just upset because i’d like to share in some of her activities, but it’s pretty much impossible for me to start ice skating right now and there’s not much else.Any thoughts or advice would be highly appreciated.

tldr: my gf and I don’t have a lot of common activities and bc of that, we don’t get to spend a lot of time together.

Do other activities together, she’s got a hobby she’s focusing on so she’s gonna do that but when you’ve got spare time do shit both of you haven’t done or somethin
Talk to your girlfriend about this. Tell her how you feel. I bet you could brainstorm an activity or two to do together.
Have you tried finding some new activities you can do together, if it’s so important to you?
