How boring would our life be if we dated only clones of our self.
Terry and I are two very different people, right down to recreational activities.
It's great that we do not agree on many things and I respect his opinion and he mine on things.
A relationship is hard work the key to making it work is trust and respect of other opinions and picking your battles.
It's much to easy to view your partner as an extension of yourself ,but that is so very demeaning to him.
You are both different there is no doubt of that ,but you can make it work by agreeing to disagree on things and seeing the relationship as two people committed to spending their time with each other.
You should hear some of the things Terry and I disagree on , from politics to rugby league teams, authors ,historians, relgion ......
But when it come to ethics and morals we are on the same page and have even managed to accept the others view.
Can you make it work ? Yes
Is it hard work for both of you ? Absolutely
