Em, woodworking is fun. Maybe he can teach you some stuff =)
Im the woodworker in my house but my guy has tool sense from decades of working with his hands and he loves when I need his help. it started when I got a cheap table saw to build canvas stretchers for paintings, then I moved up to 1x2 cradles for hardboard painting supports and we have had a lot of fun together in the garage which is now a pretty complete shop with a nice new cabinet table saw.
Try to not go crazy waiting for this good thing to go wrong! I can only speak from experience with my own relationship and observation with others but IMO the best thing couples can do for each other is to attempt to have some common interests AND have a life of their own so they are aren’t waiting for their other half to finish their fun and come home. But I’m a person who needs a lot of alone time so it’s never an issue that my guy goes off and does things without me. Right now he’s gone for 3 days to climb a mountain that I decided was going to interfere with my lifting plans so he just went with his buddies and I’m getting ready to go lift.
I have friends who think that is fucked up but we’ve got a lot years in and they um… don’t.

Well, I would not attribute that to your awesome social skills alone.
Due to your buns of steel you have a higher margin of error.
Emily on the other hand only has one leg, so she scores more points for the same result.
