Do you ever feel like your DH does not fulfill every interest/need?

This is why so many marriages end in divorce.

No one can fulfill EVERY NEED someone else has. Hopefully you have enough basic compatibility to have a strong relationship, but there are some things you need to get elsewhere.

I think it is closer to 50/50. There is about half of our lives that have very mutual interests and they are the fundamentals - value system, family, children, church, sports. There is the other half of our lives with different interests and that is what makes us different from each other - work, hobbies, personality types.

I've been married for 25 years and my husband has his preferred music tastes (as an example) and I have mine.
They have never converged. It would be strange if they did.

Let your spouse be their own person.

Just one particular interest/need.

Which very often goes unfulfilled...

Women have this problem, too.

Lololol! That's what friends are for.

If I had wanted to marry a woman I would have been a lesbian.

Ugh- this has to be a troll. What a ridiculous question.

My DH pretty much takes care of all of my needs. Good thing for him I’m low maintenance and very independent. I’m very thankful he happily takes care of the needs that usually require two people.

Ummm...I have friends. We talk on the phone when we can’t see each other.
