My wife and I are a cliche male/female couple in some ways, in others very much not. We're both over six feet tall, and I'm told we strike a good figure together (whatever that means). I'm coldly logical and somewhat anal about things, and she's emotional and rarely thinks things through, and is all about how she feels or what she wants at a particular moment in time, so I'm levelheaded one, and she's a bit scatterbrained some of the time, not all of it thank goodness. She's all about nostalgia and wish fulfillment and isn't much of a risk taker, and I prefer to see the real side of things, and am more curious and like the rush of certain activities more than she does. I plan things, she doesn't, so I handle pretty much all the money, bills, etc.
We're both very much into theatre and music, but I'm somewhat more serious about it as an actor, into character studies, subtle performances and "going there", whereas she's a lot of fun onstage, all about pure energy and spectacle, and very fun to watch. We both love singing, movies, and watching whatever's on TV, so we're nothing special in a lot of ways. I write a bit on the side. She doesn't have too many distinct hobbies, though she used to knit often for some reason, and is part of a national Barbershop choir called Sweet Adelines now. Kind of old fashioned.
I'm fairly intelligent, and a bit more streetsmart and wise to the ways of the world than she is, but she's much better with people, everyone loves her, and she knows all sorts of random facts that I can't even come up with if I think hard about a subject.
Neither of us has any style or appreciation of style. We're both about instant gratification VS things like dishes, laundry, cleaning, etc, though we are capable of getting things done in a pinch.
I'm college educated, she's not, but she did go for three years. Neither of us is terribly ambitious, though she really wants a family, and to take on a mentorship role.
Background wise, I had what I think most would consider a pretty good, middle class family upbringing in the real world, and some of her family and friend base is bat**** insane, so there are issues that arise from that, but you'll have that. She's very sensitive to some things, whereas I tend to be colder. We're both capable of being drama queens, but usually aren't.
We usually get along very well when one of us isn't morose about something, which is unfortunately fairly often these days, as she's having career/life issues. Our arguments, which are relatively frequenst, I guess, are short and pointless and done in fun, and we rarely seek to actually hurt anyone's feelings or make them feel bad.
The sex is pretty much always good, and she'll try almost anything in the bedroom, or wherever else we happen to be. So she's not completely unadventurous, I guess.
Sorry to hear about that.
