Sometimes men and women seem to belong to different species anyway, let alone different languages!
It's accepting and celebrating our differences that can make it work. Along with love and respect. Different relationships work for different reasons.
I find it fascinating looking from the outside at how and why some relationships work and others don't. Maybe it's because some people come into relationships open and without unrealistic expectations, while others don't.
My son and his wife fascinate me. I think they are opposite in some ways. She is hyperactive and he laid back. They found something in each other that they needed. He calms her down and she gets him doing stuff he would never have thought of doing for himself, thereby enriching his life. However, they had some rocky patches. Both came to me separately, a few years ago, and I did my Mummy counselling bit that it was ok and healthy to be different, to accept those differences and let each other live life in the way they are and not try to change each other. They are very happy.
Redfraggle, you seem to have found your way with love. Enjoy.
