Differences between you and your SO

[Enric]

We have many differences but they aren't a problem. We come from very different cultures, regions and religions so it's natural. And I really admire much of her characteristics.

She dated a couple of guys of her island and had the opportunity of date more. But she finally choosed me, being her first long distance relationship. I've never dated or had the opportunity in real life but I dated online and had the opportunity of date other asian girls

I have a money obsession, it's a part of my culture. I would love saving money and being careful with it. But I've got a big frustration because I don't have money and it really makes me feel bad. She doesn't care about money.

Actually she doesn't worry about many things. She is positive, optimist and she doesn't need much for being happy. But I'm depressed, negative and I worry about many things.

She's thin. I'm fat.

She likes sports, specially running. I don't like them much.

She hangs out with friends. I don't, I don't go out much.

She hates pork and olive oil but I love them She loves vegetables but I hate them.

She has a healthy asian diet three times per day. My diet is a disaster xD.

She's more religious than me (whatever no radical).

She can fall asleep easier than me but I can sleep longer time.

Enric, I really love your signature. I am too, and it IS potentially problematic, isnīt it? :P

I'm an extrovert and he's more introverted.
He loves to read and I have the attention span of a 4 year old.
He's frugal and I have a shopping obsession.
I'm organized to the point of almost being OCD and he's not at all organized.
I'm the optimist and he's a total pessimist... especially when it comes to our sports teams.

Somehow we balance each other our and we go together perfectly desite all of our differences.

I'm what I like to call, an organized mess. And he's almost OCD about how everything has a place and a way to be put away. He has rubbed off on me though. My mess is just more organized than it used to be. He's also very critical of my music, he's critical of any music really, but most of my music has been banned from his car. lol. Luckily I tend to like his music.

Other than that, we essentially are pretty much the same. We mesh and click very well.

Iīm actually quite curious as to what your music is that he has banned LOL.

Thanks.

Yes, it is, but maybe it's our way of be.

[Madge]

When I pick up a book I literally do not move until I have finished it. My SO on the otherhand has more will power than I.

I like to wake up early meanwhile my SO likes to sleep in a wee bit.

I dislike tea. Nick being english LOVES it

Nick doesn't mind if there are a few clothes on the ground..meanwhile I am a neat freak who must tidy

[lademoiselle]

We're pretty dissimilar in many ways (too many to list!) but we respect and try to learn from one another's differences, and see them as being complementary more than anything else. I think if we were to spend time concentrating on the things we didn't agree on it could end up driving a wedge between us, so we focus on our common ground - of which there is a fair amount even though it's perhaps less obvious

[lala]

He is chatty and like to talk all the time. I'm more a quiet and shy person
He likes horror movies and I hate them
He doesn't like fashion and doesn't like to dress up while I'm a perfectionist
He eats unhealthy while I ate healthy
He like drinking and he smokes, me NOT

[Tooki]

I have noticed that I am a lot more proactive than she is. I like to plan things ahead and do tasks as they need to be done. She likes to go with the flow and do things 'whenever she wants'.

Also she gets me to do a lot of things for her. She sits around whilst I do chores

[Carenza LaRue]

mmm... where to start?

he is 13 years my senior so there is a bit of an age gap that might cause problems in the future. I say 'might cause' because I am not too sure about it.
I think he is a bit more conservative than I am, because of that. He is more the type of husband at work, wife in the kitchen. He hasn't said it, but I think it's his deepest heartfelt wish. Too bad for him I've been raised a feminist...sort of.... so I think there will be some struggle for both to meet half way.

I am a vegetarian...he loves meat dearly.

My personality is in the base very open and I do like to ask questions about everything that is of interest to me. I just love to talk to people. My SO on the other hand, is more the introvert type of personality, who gains knowledge out of books and keeps very private most of the time. I was quite surprised to see him opening up to me for a bit when we started to get close. Guess he needed to learn to trust me first, took me quite some time to figure him out.

He speaks very fast by nature and he is very good in saying things with a minimum of words where as I need a lot of words to express what I mean. Have to ask him what he said or meant quite often and because of that sometimes the situation turns out to be very hilarious. He puts a smile on my face with everything he does, but the language barrier makes us laugh out loud quite often.

I always thought there wouldn't be so much cultural differences between two partners, coming from the West. But I think I have to give that a good second thought.

[efish1042]

He is more tech-friendly than I am, although I am pretty tech-friendly. I'm more spontaneous where he is thinks things out before doing them. I'm more organized and structured where he is struggling with that (you'd think the opposite since he's so logical). We have one major issue that we disagree on. I'm living anywhere but the "now" and that's the only place he can really live... there are probably more, but that's what comes to mind right now.

[AEAS]

Ah.. This subject... My SO and I are freakishly similar in some ways, and then complete polar opposites in others like he has really, really strong opinions on things where as I'm more neutral about everything. He's really emotional where as I'm more used to ignoring my feelings and not paying attention to them (That drives him crazy!!). He's also amazing with computers, sometimes I have to have him help me Google things for homework. And then there's things like he's much better at video games than I am, and the fact he takes FOREVER to get ready/stop doing something. I like being punctual...

[11MikesGirl21]

Iīm actually quite curious as to what your music is that he has banned LOL.

Country....the ARMY BRAT banned country music if you'll believe it. I actually told him that the only thing I enjoy about the distance is not fighting about country music.

Also Christina Agulera (I can never spell her name), is banned because of some pact he has with his bestfriend. (I find a way of playing her when the modd strikes me though) And some other "girl music" has been banned. Oh, and he banned my FAVORITE band, Three Days Grace, but he let me play both CDs I keep in his car last road trip, so I think he's breaking.

But still no country. I make a point of leaving the country radio station on "blasting-make-his-ears-bleed" volume after I borrow his car when I'm home. He likes a couple songs here and there. He won't admit it, but when we first started dating I got him to admit that he liked Keith Urban's 'Told You So'. The summer with him is going to be fun again. I (along with my family, friends, and entire neighborhood) bleed country during the summer.

[Kiyama]

Hm we are quite similar in many ways.
I'm maybe a little more tidy than him. I don't like clothes on the floor and I hate open cupboard doors and drawers. On the other hand he can't stand it if the bed isn't made super correct whereas I'm more relaxed with regard to that.
He's a lot more into cooking than I am.
I'm much more into books.
We have completely different tastes with regard to music.
Personality wise is he more easy going and less of a worrier than me. I'm more sarcastic and emotional and tend to look at things more negatively.
Other than that I can't think of much now
