He makes comments like that a lot. I'm not sure if he didn't do things he was interested in on his own because his ex didn't want him going and doing things on his own or if he didn't want to go on his own. But I cannot imagine a life where, if my family didn't want to do something, I couldn't go do it on my own. But maybe that's why I've been single so long? ATLGuy said some similar things before. We were watching some TV series together- we'd start them at the same time and chat during commercials and then discuss after. We'd decide how many shows to watch. He wanted to watch series because his wife will only watch movies, not TV shows. I have like 4 TVs in my house and if my spouse was watching something I didn't watch, I would go to a different room and watch what I wanted.
Am I the oddball here? Maybe this is why I've been single since my divorce in 2000? Am I too unwilling to give up things I like? Will this be a problem for me later?

You should not have to give up anything you love for anyone, if you feel like you do then maybe this is not the right guy for you. I am too f ing old to care what a guy wants and I am sure as hell not giving up anything I like for them.
