Yes, I also have wondered why we have not been able to work it out.  We have been going to couples therapy for over three years now and things still are not resolved. I think I finally gave up. I would not call us "ideal", yes there are some things we enjoy doing together, hiking, eating out, museums and recently cycling.  We are really very different, she's a morning person, I'm a night, she keeps a very busy schedule, often booked up a month or two ahead, I'm more laid back not knowing what I'll be doing the coming weekend, she has to have a full schedule each weekend, I like to plan nothing and do things as I feel like it.  She is very emotional and feeling, I'm more logical and rational and have minimal emotions and feelings (at least compared to her).  Yes, it is a real comfort to have her there when I come home or to come home to her. But that has even been a problem, for me it's a comfort to just know she is in the house and close by, I don't need a lot of interaction.  She on the other hand needs a lot of interaction, talking, sharing of feelings, etc.  I've made some progress at that but it's not a natural thing for me. Well I'm taking a week vacation next week.  I'm going to leave Sunday to go to N.C. to visit my parents.  They have a cabin in the mountains near Asheville so I'll spend the week with them.  Larry
