Well said!

A relationship can easily work between 2 people who have very little surface things in common but share the same value system and agree on the important stuff.

(Case in point, my relationship)

The same cannot be said for relationships where the opposite is true, because its the important things that form the foundation of a lasting and loving relationship. When your foundation is rocky, there's not much of anything to build on.

I honestly don't understand the logic behind why you and your bf are forcing this relationship to work, because that is exactly what you 2 are doing. Forcing it.

The only time I can comprehend forcing a relationship, is when 2 people find themselves in an arranged marriage...

But this is not the case here

Sad part is, while you 2 are busy forcing things, you're missing out on opportunities to experience relationships that actually work. Relationships which naturally enrich your lives and fills it with joy.
