Re: Spouse of a Book Loving Person?
This is my husband and I!!! I am a total bookworm while he…is NOT! Growing up, I developed the habit of always reading something while eating…book..newspaper…magazine. I have to have something in my hand to read while eating. It was very hard to shake this habit once I got married. My husband didn’t understand and found it quite rude lol. Slowly I adjusted my reading quirks and he also became more forgiving of my stacks and stacks of books all over the place.
Once we had kids, he started to appreciate it though as all three of our boys are avid readers as well.
Like any other aspect of marriage, it’s a give and take and compromise. He appreciates and respects my hobby of reading and I try to make sure it doesn’t get in the way of our time together or overshadow other responsibilities I have.
