Can a relationship work if you don’t have many shared interests?

Question

My husband is always speaking negatively about my hobbies and leisure activities. He always says the TV shows I watch are “stupid” or the game I play on my phone is “dumb”. It hurts my feelings because he makes me feel like a lesser person compared to him. Like what I do to relax isn’t good enough for his standards. The truth is, after a long day, I enjoy mindless activities. 
My husband said last night that “we have nothing in common”. Which isn’t true. Most importantly, we share common morals and life goals. We enjoy watching movies together or TV shows and we like to travel. He really likes comic books, D&D, reading, Sci-Fi, and home improvement projects. I like lighthearted shows, puzzles, reality TV, adult coloring, Etc. I also enjoy reading, but I don’t read often. 
I feel like my hobbies are being policed. I try really hard to be interested in what he likes, and have recently started helping him sell comic books. He doesn’t try to enjoy my hobbies, which has never bothered me...but I wish he didn’t make me feel like my IQ was 30 because of what I enjoy. 🤦‍♀️
Do you think not having a ton of shared hobbies makes a relationship doomed? I personally love that we are different.
Edit: Part of my concern is, he doesn’t really have friends. He is very introverted and likes the isolation. So maybe if he had more social interaction all the pressure wouldn’t be on me? Also, his ex wife shared a lot of his interests. 🙄🤦‍♀️

Answer

I mean you’re not identical twins. LoL but he also shouldn’t make you feel bad for what you like. You can pick on anyone’s hobbies and make them feel like an asshole for them. Doesn’t make it right, it just makes you a jerk. So yes, a relationship can work when two people have different interest and hobbies, but no, a relationship cannot work when one person is a jerk.

Answer

Nope nope nope. My hubby and I have barely nothing in common and he says the same thing. I just don't really pay attention to it and stay in my room.

Answer

I love the Kardashian’s he doesn’t and he thinks it’s stupid but he would never put me down for it ever not even for watching real housewives so he clearly doesn’t respect you or he’s just joking or if this is new then maybe someone else is going on and he’s snapping? 
Do you still do lots of stuff together

Answer

Accepting your differences is a big thing. You don’t have to have the same hobbies or interests as long as you can be accepting and kind about them. Him calling yours stupid is disrespectful. I mean some things in common would be nice because then you’d having things to do together but he should at least try to enjoy some of it with you like you’re doing for him

Answer

My mom and her wife and have been together for almost 20 years and let me tell you when I say they are the complete opposite, her wife’s likes to go to the casino and gamble and my mom like to chill, work in her garage and sometimes drink a beer. They had to find things they enjoy together, and one thing they also do is go out of town for a couple days together to like a beach and it seems like they always have a dope time. I’m sure they had to save for the trips but they always found a way. They just went to Florida for spring break and now going to corpus with family (live in Fort Worth tx, family lives in San anto and corpus) I will not be going to the family trip because I’m pregnant and actually care about getting sick rn lol, if I wasn’t preg, I would go

Answer

You dont have to have a bunch if shared interests but you both need to have respect for each others differences. He shouldn't be putting you down because of your choice in how you spend your downtime. And like honestly... he likes comic books and D&D but he says your hobbies are stupid?🙄

Answer

My husband like hockey and sports in general, action movies and EDM. I don’t like any of those things lol but we get along great 🤷🏻‍♀️ I feel like those hobby type interests are what connects you to your friends, not necessarily your life partner. The biggest problem I see here is that your husband is being super negative about your interests but for some reason expects you to like everything he likes? How would he feel if you said everything he liked was for nerdy losers? My husband doesn’t tell me that my spin classes are stupid, but he has no interest in joining me lol

Answer

Not having shared hobbies doesn’t make a relationship doomed. But what does have a negative impact on a relationship is when the other person doesn’t respect your hobbies/interests. It seems like that’s where your issue lies with him. He’s being rude about what you like and making you feel ‘lesser than’. That’s not okay.
