Quote: In what ways are you different from your partner? What things might you be able to add to their lives?
Interestingly enough, I think my H and I have become more and more similar through the years in the way we deal with problems. We have been married almost 9 years and together almost 16. I have never liked conflict, but I think living with a conflict avoider has made me MORE of one. Is this true for anyone else?

On the surface we seem similar--outgoing, frinedly, good sence of humor, etc. But in reality, he is not as outgoing, etc. as he may seem after you get to know him. Make sense? He has become more of a loner--kinda sad because I need to be around people!
He has added to my life by teaching me so many practical things. I tend to be more "book smart" and he is more "street smart". At one time these things seemed to compliment each other perfectly....now I wonder!

S~smart, hard-working, used to be....thoughtful, loyal, loving....this is SAD! W~conflict avoider, controlling, dishonest (when avoiding conflict), stubborn
I see so many similarities in out strenghts and weaknesses. Is this a good thing or a bad thing? How do I make the best of it?!
Happiness is like a butterfly: the more you chase it, the more it will elude you, but if you turn your attention to other things, it will come and sit softly on your shoulder.... (thoreau)
