Ok, by no means do i think my marriage is a bad one. Sometimes I feel very happy in fact. Sometimes my wife does things that make me proud to know her.Sometimes I’m in awe of her.
For the most part we’re entirely different from eachother. I’m into dark comedies, the history channel, reading and anything else that comes down the pike. I also maintain outside friendships.
I’m never usually far from some type of thoughts of wonder. I’m inquistive about the entire universe. I want to know everything. I want to travel the back roads of the world.
She’d rather watch judge mathis and discovery health, not read, not have any philosophical discussion and only vacation in popular vacation spots which are really thinly disguised shopping malls. She doesn’t care if there’s a god or not, doesn’t care about history or current events.
I realize that each person has his or her own philosophy in life so for me to say anything other than we’re different would be biased of me.
I also want to add that she never stands in the way of anything I want to do. She’s always fine with it.
My question is, who else can identify with this situation?
Is it good to have completely opposite interests?
Sometimes I love it and somethimes I feel a void.
My husband and I are very different and I do sometimes feel a void. I love him, but sometimes wonder how that came to be. He’s a gear head. I love art.
He’s McDonalds. I’m a French cafe.
He’s cammo clothing. I’m a shopper.
He reads carburetor manuals. I read literature.
He’d be fine if everything in the world was primer gray. I’m colorful.
He’s German. I’m funny.
I guess the differences are what makes us love each other, but I do wish we shared more. The best thing we have in common is his ex-wife, who is my best friend. We go to art exhibits and cafes together. He changes the oil.
the SO and me are so alike, sometimes it’s a bit scary.
Often enough we finish eachtohers sentences, or thoughts, or we’ll say something oiut of the blue and the other will respond: hey, I was just thinking about that!
We’re into lots of the same stuff, he’s into flyin, I’m into skydiving, we’re both into hiking and generally being active in the open.
We both like to read, we both have the same sense of humour, we like the same movies (well, I don’t like his WWII movies), music…you name it.
We’re both very private people and like our independance, and we’re both very stubborn.
the most important one of all: we both loive eachtoher as we’ve never loved anyone before.
So it works out, and because we have so much in common, we’ve lots to talk about
