Daily Glitches

TV I like movies and Ted likes the fights and big macho
programs such as Ice Road Truckers.

Books: I read constantly and Ted prefers tv.

Movies: I like romantic comedies and he likes war.

Society: I love having a house full of people and
conversation Ted prefers quiet.

Religion: I am agnostic and Ted believes in fire and
brimstone.

I have a green thumb and Ted kills everything to the point that he doesn't even try anymore.

Ted can fix anything and I am all thumbs.

My painting is not up to his standards.

Somehow we get along nicely. He is slow to anger and I
explode and forget it. Like most people that have been
married a good while, we are great forgivers and have learned to compromise. Sometimes I think the nit pickers
that can't be satisfied with less than perfection are the
unhappy ones.

I can't say that I believe in astrology but by some coincidence the men I have loved the most have all been
aquarians. Go figure!

Wow-my sister is an Aquarian, and they're hard to get along with!
Opposites attract so true with you and Ted.

Cool dealio!!! Sounds like things are good.

Reading your post and the following comments, all I can say is love is very complicated--opposites, commonalities, dissimilarities--whatever. Relationships are seldom easy.

I forgot to say Mr. Troutbend votes Republican, and I am registered as unaffiliated so I can vote liberal. And he disapproves of abortion and I'm pro-choice.

Is this a women thing.

possessed him to marry me ... Freudian slip I guess.

I'll post my own list but a lot of it is similar to yours. On a daily basis, almost, Ed will get in a huff about something and say he doesn't know what possessed him to marry him. A half hour later (also at 4 a.m.) he will call out that he loves me.

I think in the end, it comes down to love and acceptance: accepting each other for the way we are, not the way the persons wants us to be, and loving each other despite that. Guess acceptance means respect too.

I really do think that opposites attract. When two people are two much alike, it just doesn't make for the sparks that being opposites does.
