Your spouse likes it, but you Don't.

I am married and we don't agree on anything. he is an outdoors man, I am an indoor with the covers on me type. He hates to shop, I live to shop. He is trying to gain weight I am trying to maintain mine and we eat totally different foods. He watches sports constantly, I like wrestling and reality shows. The list is endless but we have been together for 23 years and somehow, it works. I don't know how at times but it does. We just agree to disagree about things and we do our own things. I would like to be more involved with my husband and he would like to be more involved with me. Now that the kids are older, we have talked about a date night or something so we can get to know each other again. Raising kids and working takes a lot of time and energy. Now we can take some time for us. I think, if you love the person, you get around the things you mentioned and you learn to live with the differences. You also compromise. He watches my shows and I endure his spots. I will go to the mountains but we have to stay in a motel rather than a tent like he likes. I would rather stay HOME! But we meet in the middle (and I do actually like the mountains now). You meet in the middle and respect each other's likes and dislikes and hope it all works out!

Where to begin besides we are married I like country music he likes heavy metal I freeze at night he complains when there is more than a sheet and a blanket on the bed. He's quiet and I am loud and obnoxious He loves t.v. and I can only tolerate it if NASCAR is on He has learned to like Chinese food He use to sit here and watch me socialize on the net, now he has his own accounts He loves hunting, I am glad when the season endss and he hasn't gotten anything I take 2 minutes to pick a pair of shoes, he takes a hour I hate the mall, he likes to browse If you really love each other you make your differences work whether you're married or not

I am married and my husband and I co-exist very nicely. When there is a that he likes and I have not tried I will give it a try if I dont like it then it is something he has on special occasions. I am very loud where is quiet and that is ok cause when we need to speak over the kids to get them to be quiet I am the one to do it. He likes being outside I like to be inside. that is fine too on weekends we take 1 day where he ca ngo out and do things he likes and I will stay in and do my things. In the end it all boiles down to having an equal balance.

I am married and my husband is the complete and total opposite of me. It works out great for us. Granted, we have had our share of problems in our marriage, but for the most part we are very happy together. By having different interests, we keep each other interested in one another. He always wants to know what I am up to and I always want to know what is going on with him. I think I would be bored to tears if I was married to someone just like me. Also, I love to be the center of attention and my hubby likes to be in the background, we are perfect for each other. He allows me to shine and I never have to worry about his getting jealous or hurt by it. I think that if you really truly love someone, you can work out your differences and make an "opposites attract" type of marriage work.

My husband and I have so many different interests and favorite. He doesn't care about pizza but I love it. He likes eat fat pork but I don't like it at all. So sometimes we have to give in to each other. Sometimes we will order our own favorite food and then eat together.

i am married for 22 yrs ! and when they said, opposites attract...no truer words were ever spoken ! he loves pizza...i don't ! he loves to hunt...i'm a total animal lover ! he loves to travel, but at the speed of light...i like to take my time getting there ! i love to garden...he doesn't...but likes eating it ! he loves to be a couch potato....i love being outdoors ! the list could go on & on, but you get the idea ! and i know so many others that are married etc...that are complete opposites...and it usually works out....its sorta like....it keeps the adventure, sparks etc going year after year, because we are opposites ! although i will admit..sometimes being opposites...can be a bit frustrating too...but, in the end...it all works out, if you learn to compromise !

I don't think it should really matter what you have differences in. So long as there is always something you can come together on and other things that you can at least be open to learning about or tolerating, then you're good to go. You don't have to do everything together, you don't even have to do the same things while you're together. My fiance and I have a lot in common, but we also have a lot of opposites. I think major things that are important to you should be had in common, but everything else is just gravy. Like if you don't want kids, then you probably shouldn't be with someone who does. Or, like we me and my fiance, we both absolutely adore Japanese culture. He's been going to University to learn Japanese and he's going to move to Japan for a couple years. I don't think it would really work out if we didn't share that.

I am permanently single and I think,if I didn't have at least 5 things that we agree on, why did we get married.I know you can't agree on everything ,but it would be good to have something that you can agree on.I love pizza, hockey, and movies, and I don;'t want children. If a man doesn't agree on these three things, it wouldn't be good or fair for us to even think of getting together.We would either fight all the time or we wouldn't spend that much time together.But if it was something else like he likes basketball and I don't, I would leave him alone to see the games while I 'll do something else.No problem.

i am still single but i think those differences mentioned are not that big if both parties have respect for each other and would compromise solely for the feelings they have for each other. at some point of our relationship, there will really come a time that we will discover differences on our personality but it wouldn't really matter if we know how to deal with it.

I'm engaged, I think I can adjust to anything he likes when it comes to food, and the shopping part. That's all fine with me. However, going naked on the beach, well, thank heavens he's not that type to do something that crazy! However,if he were that type, it would definitely be a No-No for me! I am a flexible person, I can adjust to anything as long as it doesn't require me to do anything beyond my values. I'm glad my fiance is this way too, so inspite of the differences in our culture, we get along pretty well.

i am single,me and my ex boyfriend had a fight with the food, i like sea foods and he donts, he likes pizza and i dont.i once cried becouse of it when we are in bed.and i feel hungry and fighting about food, and he told me that if we both likes thigs together that feel us boring.instead we should give and take then.for me he can do crazy things without me.if i cant,as well as he doesnt hurt me or my feelings its ok. well i cant expect my partner as perfect as my dream.i would love them as he is.
