Actually, my T and I are very similar in our literary tastes. What I would really like him to do to understand me better is to listen intently to classical choral works. The place we have the biggest disconnect is that he doesn't really understand how intensely my love for music goes. He thinks he does, but he really doesn't. He isn't a musician, and without that deep understanding, he is missing a major part of what makes me who I am, what feeds my soul. Of course, I also know that is a disconnect that will always be for someone without a music background. I'm used to that. Non-musicians really don't get musicians.
