Sadly, I am so glad I am not the only one who lives with this!

Oh, yes....
Just in case some of you have been thinking it would be easier if you were a
lesbian (I get this a lot from straight women LOL).... It's the same with Beth!

Oh darn, darn, darn. There goes my backup plan if I finally get too frustrated with Shannon. :) He's not so much offering solutions as snarky responses to my anger or whatever, example, "Well, what did you expect?"
So it may well be a partner thing, not a man thing. Might as well stick with the DH then.

The Chinese have a theory about partners (if anyone knows terminology or has
websites, that would be cool) that you both create a whole (in a good
relationship). So if one is quite one way, the other needs to be quite the opposite.
If both are in the middle, that's another kind of match. The symbol for it
is the yin/yang. And it explains the phenomenon many of you might have
noticed that if one partner is fairly androgynous the other probably is too, and if
one is a total macho football captain, the other might be a totally pink and
made up cheerleader. It's not "opposites attract," it's that the two need to
add up to 100 (if it were done mathematically), 50 female-points, 50
male-points (or whatever ends of spectrums you want to put in the equation).

If that rings true, it should probably work out for communications methods
too, somehow... thought it seems damnably inconvenient. But the two of you as
a team would have the skills to deal with various outsiders.

"Jack Spratt could eat no fat, his wife could eat no lean..."
Perhaps a healthy relationship in terms of that Chinese theory.

LOL!!!

Oh, honey, I sooo know that ain't so. (It being easier.) I long ago
decided that although men are jerks, women are nuts. Ok, this was during a
down phase in the dating world, but still.

Having loved and lived with both, I have to say that while different in
"feel" the same issues remain. We are all human after all.

Well, maybe not that one guy......

This is a consoling thought, and might explain why my husband and I have
lasted 21 years, although we are VERY opposite and drive each other crazy at
times. :o)

Opposites attract, even when you're the same gender!
