How Have You And Your Spouse Always Differed? - Page 4

He's an introvert; I'm an extrovert.

He's up at 5, cheerful, ready to go, and ready to discuss whatever. I'm groggy and don't tell me anything or I won't remember it. (Definitely a night person!)

He has always "decorated" the outside; I do the inside.

He's from the North and likes cold weather; I'm from the South and the hotter it is the happier I am!

When our children were little, I was the disciplinarian. He usually didn't have time, and when he did DD would look at him with her look and he would cave!

He hates waiting at restaurants; I'm OK with it.

After my friends met him when we were dating, they were surprised. I had always dated "life of the party" type guys. They didn't think it would work out! But as I tell my DD ---

Marry you're best friend and you'll never be bored!

He's not nearly as much of a music fan as I am. He likes new stuff when I play it, but he never looks for new music on his own. He does not buy music, he strictly listens to the radio, which I never do. I would be happy to never hear anything on the oldies station or classic rock station ever again. I do not understand how people can be happy just listening to the same thing you heard in High School for the rest of your life.

Don't Change Your Authenticity for Approval

My husband is laid back and I am not. As in nothing bothers him and he is kind of shy, and I am the worrier and the talker.

We do too!

We're very much alike.

We even finish each other's sentences sometimes.

My kids are always rolling their eyes at us because we're so corny and mushy. LOL

@bri20So Sweet!

We've been married 48 years, and I have a hard time thinking of anything we DO have in common....we both like to eat, that's about it ! LOL....but hey, we're still together and we laugh at the same goofy things 😊
