It's a mistake to think you can change someone else.

Better to live life joyfully and fruitfully but always leave door open for him to join you. And vice versa you must be open to his world...if parts of his world is positive also.

Example: I belong to a cycling internet forum where there are predominantly men. It's just reality...even in face-to-face co-ed cycling groups, men always outnumber women.

Quite a number of the men complain their wives don't even want them to cycle any or much at all. My first thought is: he may be shirking household/child care responsibilities or she just has not found a hobby / interest for herself outside of them as a couple or they don't share 1 interest together as a couple.
