So, We're a Little Different

I think it is our differences that make life exciting and worth living each day!

  • We both like to budget. I budget to spend. He budgets to save.
  • I can't live without sweets. He can't live with them, literally.
  • At the end of the day, he hangs his clothes or folds them and puts them away. I decorate the floor.
  • I always wipe the counter after preparing food. He never does.
  • I load silverware sharp side down in the dishwasher, he loads them sharp side up.
  • I have a giant head with giant ears, he has a tiny little head with tiny little ears.
  • He is meticulous at taking care of his electronics (phone, camera, iPod, etc.), me....not so much.
  • I use my car to go places AND for storage, he uses his car just to drive and keeps it clean always.
  • I would never use a dead animal to decorate my house, he thinks he has good taste. (Just to clarify....I don't really like any of it, but horns? ok. maybe a skin? alright. But the whole body or a giant elk or deer head? NO!)
  • I think watching hours of ESPN is a waste of time, he thinks there's no better use of time.
  • He is super good at yard work and can make anything look amazing. I don't like dirt in my nails.
  • He is kind and forgiving, I tend to lean towards the "screw you once you screw me" attitude. I have a lot to learn from him.
  • He is secure and doesn't really give a rip about what people think. I drive myself crazy thinking about what people think, over analyzing every situation and conversation.
  • He wakes up bright and cheery in the morning. I think there is nothing bright or cheery about the morning.
Oh love. It's a wonderful thing.

I think it's great that you already recognize the similarities and differences in your relationship. It will help you deal with the disagreements that arise later on in life.
