another time in this life

Just been listening to Damh the Bard and it reminded me of another time in my life, a time when I was with my ex. Although most of the relationship was pretty rough we did have some things in common, a love to wild places and folk music.

Now i am with a wonderful guy who fulfills me in other ways, fulfills other aspects... but he has no real interest in wild places or folk music.

I accept that I will never find a guy that loves everything i love. I am also very much in love with my husband and he makes me happy.

But what about those other aspects? wild places are so much better when shared with others....

So, I was wondering.. what do people here do about those "babies" that were "thrown out with the bath water" so to speak... those things that you miss but have no-one to share them with?

btw, there are things I am happy to do with friends or on my own... but walking in the country is something I would love to share with my husband....

Not looking for answers of how to fix this... more looking to learn what others do.

For me, it's a case of doing them anyway - alone

I've only been in one serious relationship - my marriage- and even that was abusive so I didn't feel emotionally connected enough to share my interests. I don't really have people around me who I can share my interests. I grew up largely alone due to my family circumstances and I suppose for me I'm just used to doing stuff alone. If it's worth doing, it's worth doing alone - that's my motto. I appreciate some things might not be so good unless shared with others but to be honest I wouldn't know.
