How does your relationship differ from "the norm"?

There is no normal relationship. There is just a relationship that works and a relationship that does not work.

My husband and I have a very dysfunction relationship from "the norm". He like to go to the movies. I don't. Therefore, he goes by himself. I like to go to plays. He will but only because he want to be with me, therefore, I go with my friends that like plays. I take care of all the bills and banking, but he make more of the money. I sleep on the couch some nights because I am a night person and sometimes I don't want to wake him because he has to be up at 5am and I go to sleep at 1ish. I give orders and he takes them (and think he is in charge of a military unit and gives orders at work all day.) I am completely a non military person and he has been in almost 20 year. I am a LA girl and he is a OR boy. Complete opposites. But the relationship works for us because we talk things out. A good fight about every six months. And a lot of core vaules that are the same: work ethics, religions beleifs, and we provide each other with things that the other lacks. We have been married 9 years.

Dysfunction is what other people call any relationship that they don't understand. Unless you are talking about abusive, then that is completely dysfunction. But to me, a working relationship is not dysfunction, barring abusive and other major issue, if it works for you.

We actually don't spoon often. But rather have are side of the bed but something of his is always touching me (toe, finger, hand, leg, or something.) and if I move away, then he reconnects.

I'd say we are are pretty "norm". He is money savvy and protective. I'm like a typical woman, I like to cook and clean, but I also have an attitude, so I can wear the pants, too.

I'd also say that WE as a COLLECTIVE are different than others. We're 20 (him) and 22 (me), we have been together 2 years, live together for one, have a combined bank account and all that. I love him very much.

As for sleeping positions, my boyfriend likes to cuddle and be cuddled. Me, I get a little bit emotionally claustrophobic when that happens. I like my space! However, I don't think it actually means much..

My boyfriend is an atheistic Buddhist. i'm a theistic Pagan. We infrequently ever discuss 'faith,' extra about philosophy and concepts which we oftentimes agree upon. we are both open to each and each and every others viewpoints probably being actual, yet although if we weren't, we are wise, real looking adults who can percentage with one yet another without flipping out. --Oh, extra factors to the question: were we to get married i'd be extremely happy with a mundane wedding ceremony -- i'm no longer large on weddings in any respect. And neither human beings needs youthful ones so as that problem solves itself.

We arent normal. Hes in the army and im at home. i havent seen him since dec 19 when he came home from christmas everytime after that was only for a few hours. We argue a lot! its only about petty little things but its still an arguement. we dont get to talk to eachother everyday like we want but we get through it, our relationship isnt the best were human and every relationship is different some guys wear the pants in the realtionship or girls will wear them. It doesnt matter if your relationship is normal because no relationship is normal..

Sounds like mine hahaha!! The only difference is i sleep on the outside and i am def mor financial savvy but i am def more sensitive. We get along very well and we compliment each other very well. I couldnt ask for better!

We tend to have little arguments about things that dont really matter.

Sometimes I'm protecting him feeding him and making sure he takes his meds, sometimes I'm vunerable and having a bad day and he cheers me up. Its a lot of back and forward with the roles.with everything fespecially decision making. But somehow it works.

I have a male friend like that and he's getting divorced- his wife never respected him because he's so sensitive and most girls won't give him a chance. He needs a girl like you!

o ya it seems to me that im the bad boy only im a girl, for example, i hav a bf when im not supose to, i lie when i need too and never get caught, o and im lets say daddy's little rebel!!!

and hes the one that gets straight A's in geometry and always follows the rules

Well we do everthing that people in a relationship do but we claim that we are only friends.

please answer mine
