Does your significant other play Tennis?

[TENNIS4FUN2]

My spouse does not play and this is fine with me. Tennis is my hobby and he has his. Our teenage son plays tennis, but he also shares some of his father's hobbies so he gets time with each of us individually and is exposed to a lot of different types of hobbies.
I really don't want my husband to play as many of the women I play with do not have their husband playing either and it would upset the great dynamics we have. OTOH, as Angle Queen said, he could come watch occasionally.

Yes, thats actually how we met- playing in a local tourney. He is 4.0, i am 3.5; we play mixed together.

First sentence threw me off but that is OK

Got married last year to a youngster who used to think tennis was "gay" then I got her goin and she is an animal now. We have played together for fun and I usually drill her when it's just me (4) and her (2.5). We can sit and watch grand slams all day and talk and cheer. She likes being a captain now of her own teams and all that. Love it...

Yup...name the sport. Skiing, bike riding, soccer, softball/baseball, go karts, dog walking. Anything physical that involves the kids or dog is pretty much mine. So tennis is well beyond the question...which leaves it as my private escape.

She's not into sports. At all. If the grandkids are playing sports, I'm the one that has to do everything with them. She does not participate at all. I forced her to watch one of the kids play soccer one time, and I've had to force her to take one to baseball practice once. Really ****es me off.
