When I met my husband, one of the things I liked about him (there were many others, of course) was that he didn't watch "sports," which I'd defined as football and baseball. Later, once we lived in the same house, I realized that he might not watch football, basketball or baseball, but he religiously watched car racing, cycling, motorcycle racing, dirt bike racing, snowboarding, X sports, etc. etc etc. It seemed as if there was ALWAYS something that he was watching. At first, this really bothered me. Eventually, though, I came around (I didn't have much choice. I was either be a sports widow and be a sports fan.) He explained some of his fascination to me. Now I understand most of these sports (except for car racing), and I will watch them with him (if I'm not doing something else). I'm no longer threatened by it. But I have to say, I have a hard time thinking that this would work in reverse. There are shows that I only watch when he's not around because I know he would just die if he had to sit in the same room with me. Art films come to mind. So it goes both ways, I suppose.
