I don't know if it this will help...I had a boyfriend like that once. Treated me well, beginning good career and set on earning good money, had a nice car, was very understanding and would do a lot for me to be happy. Yes, had a couple of flaws, that could be worked on...But he had different values. Looks were important to him, he needed to stay in hotel while I am ok camping. I would venture on a multiple day hiking trip, while he would call me 'crazy' doing something like that. Somehow we lasted in a relationship for a year. Back then, I even said once I could imagine marrying him (because nothing was apparently wrong with him, right!). When I look back now, we were just so not compatible. I think you can make it work with someone who is different when you love them and do not want to live without them despite the differences. But if that is not the case, it is work. There is never a guarantee you will meet someone perfect, but life is so much easier with someone who is compatible to you.
