    Yes, that's what I'm saying. I think alot had to do with growing up and all the changing you do anyway. When he left the borg he went on the road driving music artists. Some very hard partying artists that he is still friends with to this day. I thought my husband was turning into the devil! Me being the goody goody witless I tried to make him back into the follower he was. It took a few years for the adjustment period.Divorce was a real option at the time. But I would just miss him too much. Now when he comes in at 6:30 am after partying all night I make him get up and take him to the mall-with all the kids. Payback is a crazy mom.

    How true! Being fickle, not knowing what you want out of life makes it quite difficult to be sure of what to accept and what to overlook.

    The older you get the more you know what is important to you. And what you need to do to get it. If this is all about you, I wish you luck, and love. I have a grouchy baby to put to bed.

    Frequent Fader- I , as JK stated used to be a psycho magnet too ! All the ladies who had daddy issues would find me . You know, the type of woman who would not or could not open up emotionally about their deepest inner thoughts , but could open up sexually very well. So, I ended up with half a relationship , a few things in common, but not enough to make it last as a solid secure relationship ! Believe me, I say this from years of experience, if you ignore the differences now, they will come up later to bite you in the a$$ !. Some differences are adaptable, fixable,and easy to adjust to. Major differences like moral values , good manners, politeness, treating others with respect , rudeness , the way you were raised, cultural differences are harder to adjust to in others. A lot of these things people underestimate they won't cause a problem, but they really can if ignored.

    Fortunately, I tried E-Harmony.com, it worked for my wife and I as we have lots in common. Enough differences to make it interesting, however lots of compatibility to make it work. I am of the opinion if you are not compatible in the important areas, move on. The other person will be happier, and so will you. Life is too short to go through a $hitty relationship. Gawd knows, I learned the hard way. But Mrs. Flipper is my dream queen. I could not imagine being without her True love is the answer, not pretend love ! Never settle !

    Thanks for your best wishes momz. I'm accepting them even though this topic's not about me. I've already found luck in love, and am happily married.

    My husband would've gotten rid of me long ago if we weren't compatible enough to have a relationship. Very early on we both agreed that games belong on the playground ... not in relationships.

    Would you stick around trying to change him/her and hope for the best?

    If you are trying to change your partner, you do not really love your partner. You may love the idea of him and what he represents. You may be in love with the dream of being in love; but you do not love this person.

    Let me repeat: If you need to change your partner, you do not really love him.

    Would you be brave enough to forego the security of familiarity, to find true fulfillment in the unknown?

    Yes, you should do it. You'd be doing him a big favor.

    I've personally been in this boat, of loving someone yet realizing he was not right for me, not a bad person, but just completely not right for me or I for him. Polar opposite ends of the pole on very important issues, I didn't want to change him or vice versa. I knew we would both end up miserable eventually, so I ended it and walked away. He took that as me not caring, yet it was because I cared that I walked.

    Sweetstuff, it must taken all your strength and courage to walk away. I admire that, especially since you were viewed as uncaring because of your decision.

    you can't change another person

    physical attraction is not love

    all couples have some incompatibilities

    if its love these take 2nd place to being
    together and supporting each other and
    making sacrifices for each other.

    If you're married to the person, I say try and work it out but know when to call it quits. If you're not married and you know that its not right, RUN! Don't waste your life waiting around for someone to come around to the person you want them to be. It took me awhile to realize this. Even JWs will string each other along. Its not healthy to have toxic people in your life no matter how much you think you love them.
