Differences in relationships

[CorsacReborn]

My partner and I have had a good relationship with only one major argument in 2 1/2 years, we have a 6 year age difference which is very different to the 1 year age difference I've had with past partners, I think the age difference and the fact that he is older actually brings a level of maturity to the relationship as my previous relationships seemed to have peaks and troughs with this one being very stable.

If I simply looked at the points that you brought up for this thread than I'd say that me and my partner definitely differ in a lot of ways. That doesn't mean to say that the relationship won't work, the difference in hobbies and interests actually enables myself and my partner to broaden our views and even learn new stuff about ourselves. One thing that makes us work as well is that neither of us demands the other changes in any way and we don't try to force each other to enjoy the same things as the other one does.

So to answer your question, a relationship can handle a lot of difference as long as they have the right mindset and can respect each other's differences.
