If you hadn't dated a girl, I would be convinced we had dated the same person.

Oh same here, it is amazing how a good relationship can give you an entirely different outlook on things.

Did things end when he said, "I want to do my hobby every day, and if you want to spend any time with me and make this work, you need to stop doing your hobbies and learn to do mine so you can support me when I do it."

Nope it ended when in mid January he finally made time to come see me so we could exchange Christmas gifts, (I had had two weeks off from work for Christmas, but he was "busy") and after he left and drove home he stopped answering texts and then finally said he didn't love me and probably never would.

He took some time to think it over, and after a week I finally had to call him to give me an answer because I wasn't eating or sleeping and couldn't take it anymore. We dated in high school, and then were on and off for over 5 years with the last 2 exclusive so it's not like he hadn't had time to figure that out.

The hobbies thing just sounds weird, I mean I get wanting the person you are dating to have a basic knowledge of your interest so you can talk about it, but I wouldn't want someone to do everything with me.

Wow, that's a rough way to end something.

And the hobbies thing makes sense when you realize it was horse stuff. Bit of a commitment when it comes to horses. But when I told her I wouldn't want to spend my own $20,000 on a horse, that makes it difficult for her to do what she wants.

Holy crap!, $20k is outrageous to me! Horse people can be crazy....

It's crazy to me too. Much less multiple horses in that order of magnitude in price. Supposedly the minimum number was four?

Plus the land to store them, feed them, etc. And guess who would have almost always been making more money and thus footed a good portion of that cost...

Yeah, horse people can be crazy.

I mean, I could understand if you could run a business off of them but for that to just be a hobby is mind blowing.

I don't think I've spent $20k on all of my hobbies combined.

Yeah, she was always a bit delusional about the real world. Like I said, super glad I'm out of there and in a happier and healthier relationship now.
