My bf was just playing music and it really made me think of something. I like his music (rap) but it's not MY kind of music. Not my first pick. I listen to rock and classic rock that my dad and older bro listen to. Pink Floyd, sublime, bob Marley and loads of other stuff. But don't get me wrong, I love eminem and a few others though. I live in MI so pretty much everyone here likes Eminem. But I realized that if it was like 10 yrs ago (I'm 28) then our different taste in music would of probably been a deal breaker! Now that I'm almost 30, this seems rather silly to me. When I was younger my bf's and I would hang out in downtown Detroit going to concerts and stuff. I grew up obsessed with the deftones (got a tattoo of one of their logos that I still love. Also have a pink Floyd tat) We listened to mostly a lot of underground stuff and hung out at small venues often meeting the bands and going back stage! Oh man the good ol' days! But of course now that seems so silly! Now I look at things like their history, do they have kids, a good career ect. More serious stuff.

So have your expectations and deal breakers changed throughout the years as you got older and grew as a person? If so, how?

Well you know my expectations and disappointments.
But I've always set the bar high.
I'm scared when my husband retires cuz he can put a guilt trip on me when I feel like doing nothing.
And I've felt this way for a long time.

My bf does the same thing to me! Makes me feel guilty when I'm in bed all day or upset. I gave up trying to make him understand a loooong time ago lol

Good question! I think I am much more accepting of the little differences (& there are many but it makes things interesting, right?). I keep working on the bigger differences b/c, overall, I *know* he is a truly good person. There's a lot of good middle ground too.
I think I was a pretty intolerant goof in the past in areas where we didn't agree. But he stuck it out in spite of my less than noble attitude.

My fiancée sometimes likes to do nothing lol not too much but on occasion. I never not do something. I have hard time doing nothing ( unless very ill). We kind of balance each other by me speeding him up and him slowing me down.

Overall my expectations didn't change much as my life style never really changed over the years. I live the same as when I was 20. Nothing exotic.

Mine haven't changed at all I think...


But then, little things like music never managed to get under my skin. I'm the live and let live sort.


As long as we're on the same page with the big stuff, I can handle listening to Lil Wayne's whiney voice every so often, and he doesn't mind me blasting A7X. Even though its certainly not his cup of tea.


We're very alike on an intrinsic level, yet complete opposites in character, and our tastes in certain things vary greatly, and that's ok.


Keeps things interesting between us, and creates a nice healthy balance.

Tipping, we are the same way. We are very similar in intrinsic values and many character traits but our tastes are different. It doesn't bother us.
