I’m 32 and my bf is 31. This is my first serious adult relationship, mostly because I moved alot
For school and residency, but also just never really care to be in a relationship tbh. He’s been married before.
He’s fantastic in every single way, truly couldn’t list a negative about him or the way he treats me. We’ve been together for a little over a year and have already looked at rings and are moving in together in a few months.. so the plan is being in this for the long haul of course.
In addition to not being in a relationship before I’m also an only child, so honestly, my biggest struggle has been compromise. I’ve come a long way since being with him, but then there’s things where I’m like… how do you even compromise here?
So I wanted to hear some opinions of even experiences on how do you balance compromising on big things when the love and comparability is so strong otherwise. For reference, the only long term thing we don’t see eye to eye on is number of kids (1 vs 2 so not a big diff) and having a dog or not.
