You and your mate have in common.

Hi, what is the biggest thing you have in common with your mate and what is the least thing you have in common?

We both like to watch television. Just relaxing after dinner and most of the weekend watching Netflix.

The least is YARDWORK!!!! She loves gardening but im the one lugging all the 60 bags of top soil and mulch. I hate working in the yard. I rather sit on the dock and fish.

He and I have the same core values and that's very important.

We are opposites personality-wise. He's an extrovert and I'm an introvert. It actually balances us out nicely, but it took time for us to fall into a rhythm where we weren't critical of those differences.

Life360,  what a great question and I've pondered this for a while before answering.  I'm afraid my answer is kind of boring -

We have the same basic background.  Parents married happily for life,  middle class neighborhoods.  College educated.  

My husband and I love the same kind of vacations,  and we connect our  best on vacations.    Fabulous.  

Least in common?  My husband has hare-trigger anger with traffic,  or other irritations.  He is angry at things I wouldn't even have noticed.

Also,  he is REALLY good at financial investments,  and I'm at all not clear on that.  

Great question,   Life,  I had to think about this.

We got together to be stronger for our kids, we got clean and sober, so sobriety is something that is foremost in our relationship. I guess the least thing we have in common is ability to know every game every score every players name every stadium every horse every track every casino every off track betting station. I'm amazed by the things that he brings into the relationship that i have no knowledge of. I on the other hand am artistic, and he is amazed by my abilities. The key for us, has been able to see our differences as something that keeps our interest. Opposites do attract.Thanks for asking Life. Great question.

I don't have a 'mate' in the sense that we are so in love that we must be together all the time.  He doesn't live with me, and I only see him maybe once a month.  I actually think that's a GOOD thing, for me AND him, because by the time we get back together, we are so happy to see each other that nothing else matters.  Nothing between us is taken for granted.  I think that may be the key here.
