I''m sure I could have worded the title better...
I love hearing stories of how people meet and how they settle into life together. My husband and I are alike in some ways, but we''re SO different in many other ways. We joke that it''s a wonder we''re still together after 6.5 years because of our differences. If we had met in high school, there''s NO way we would have even spoken to each other.
I could go on and on, but here''s a snippet of my thoughts.
We''re alike in that:
1. We like to travel and explore new areas.
2. We''re extremely stubborn (although my husband is more likely to back down after some time than I am).
3. We''re movie buffs and we occasionally have movie marathons on the weekends.
4. We''re fairly quiet people.
We''re different in that:
1. We can be home bodies, definitely, but I''m way more likely to want to hang out with friends and have more of a social life than Mr. Bartlett. He''s happier at home I suppose.
2. To go along with that, I can hold my own at parties and feel comfortable chatting with people I don''t know well, but my husband isn''t into small talk. He feels awkward contributing to conversations when he feels that he doesn''t have anything worthwhile to add. Did that make sense?
3. I think I''m more of a packrat than my husband. I do go through periods when I love to de-cluuter, but I really should do it more often.
4. He''s much more laid back than I am. I need to have plans, schedules, etc., whereas he just goes with the flow.
5. I''m more assertive than he is.
6. My husband LOVES to play hockey on his XBox for hours at a time. I can''t stand it, but I guess it''s better than him playing violent games.
7. Our backgrounds are very different, and our parents have different belief systems about certain things. This irks me, to be honest.
