It was not so bad during the summer, I had no commitments. If anything I liked having a "weekend" while everyone else was busy working. It gave us more hours to do what we wanted. Restaurants were less busy. As were stores. BUT, now that I am in school through the week, fuck that. About once every six weeks C has to work the entire weekend, which means he will have all day off tomorrow... and guess who has two thumbs and a butt load of classes. This guy!
The other day someone told me that the whole opposite's attract thing is really a myth. See people need to have lots of things in common to be able to have things to talk about. I don't see that as necessarily true. If you have the same interests, if you geek out in the same way, why do you even need to talk. I really think C and I have so much to talk about is because we are so very different.
I mean think about it, how boring would life be if you were partnered with an individual just like you? I'm pretty sure one of us would be dead by now. C is a peace keeper. I am a shit disturber, though I try not to in a bad way. C is a calm problem solver, and while I am getting better, I still tend to be rather reactionary. C is a planner, where me, I am more of a fly by the seat of my pants kind of guy. But our interests are widely different too.
Chris is ... I am almost embarrassed to admit it. I can't believe I actually love him in spite of this huge character flaw.... but, he's a Dr. Who fan. But I try not to let that really impact on our relationship negatively. Hell, I even recorded the 50 Anniversary episode, because I am all kinds of awesomeness.
Chris was raised in bat-shit crazy born again christian, talking in tongues, laying on hands healing, faith filled home. My parents, Yeah, not so much.

He is blue collar and damn proud of his job.
Now, for me this is probably a pretty gushy post. If you have read this for long you may think I pick on C a lot. But, hello, I married the man, didn't I? Obviously he has short comings, but those pale to his good points. I have 3 rules that are deal killer in a relationship.
1. Must be out, I do not deal with closet cases. (Okay, I broke that rule with C, but we've fixed that)
2. Must NOT be a sports fan. Watching an occasional game I can handle. Team jerseys and crap all over the place, no, get a life that involves YOU.
3. while must be an atheist is a bit harsh, must have a reasonable doubt about supernatural.
Oh, yeah, and HOT. C got away a little from rule 1 because he made up for it in rule 4;)
Jamie, you are always entertaining... I loved this post, it made me laugh and smile. I think differences can be great.
ReplyDeleteAwww, missing your man, are you? You two seem to make up for each other. If I have to be honest, I'm probably more like Chris. I'm a planner and not spontaneous at all.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I love that Adam/God picture, hahaha!
I c that we got his name :)
ReplyDeleteI agree with you. Differences in a relationship can work too. It just depends on your dynamic with each other.
