Throwaway account: My SO is very passionate about baseball and takes it personally I am not as invested.
My SO asked me to learn more about baseball (e.g. players, game terminology, etc.). I have done a decent job considering I knew NOTHING about the sport before. He loves watching his favorite team play and I’ve been right there next to him to watch them since the start of the season; however, the games are 4 hours long. My attention span runs short so lately I haven’t been paying attention as much as he’d probably like. Today he decided to try and quiz me by having me listen to the game in Spanish and translate in English. I was stressed being put on the spot to translate and I didn’t know all the terminology, which made him upset. He sees my lack of knowledge as me not caring enough about him and his interests to learn. To be fair, I haven’t done much to learn lately, not even on things that I’m interested in. I just need advice from seasoned couples and how they share their hobbies and interests.
