You like cartoons, he likes sports....what are things you disagree on..?

Hi mimpi1911! If there is one thing that my husband does not really like doing is when I ask him to come with me when I go shop for clothes or shoes. haha..But because he loves me so much or he just fear some retaliation from me, he will accompany me anyway. Shopping is one thing that makes me happy of course but it is shopping that he dislike the most. lol...Another thing is he loves watching wrestling, boxing, etc..all those contact sports and he will always wants me to watch with him which I do not like watching. I will just take a peek and will always find something important to do and he will say that he can't enjoy the game without me beside him. haha..He is just doing that to annoy me! Take care and have a nice day! lovelots..faith210

Shopping and the TV remote. Shopping as that is one thing i somehow canot have the patience to go through and no matter how much i try , the impatience starts to show up after a while. My mom used to grumble at me whenever i used to take her out to do her shopping as i would invariably start to get irritated pretty soon. The TV remote is something everyone in the family invariably fights about and no one ever gets to agree on something. The rest of the things i'm quite amenable about and no matter whether it's my choice or that of my partner/loved/family, as long as we can enjoy it together i'm game.After all it's about happiness isn't it and if done together , is certainly more enjoyable.

The shoe that fits one person pinches another Ooohh I love that! never heard that particular expression before..one I'll have to remember without a doubt... Now to answer your question....lets see..here goes the hubby like History channel, War related books, movies etc and shows like How its Made...I on the other hand like Fearnet/Horror type channels, spirituality, comedy, triller etc books, movies shows....Hubby prefers classic rock and blues and I like those too but I'm more of a goth, punk, alternative and indie music gal...hubby is very proper and private in character, behaviour as well as black and whte in how he thinks and sees the world etc....I'm laid back, outspoken, and very "street" on all levels...Hubby prefers bland foods, I love flavourful and spicy....his parenting style is very 60s (strict and proper, parent/child no in bewteen) whereas I'm like a big kid and parent in a very modern fashion.. the bf on the other hand...well him and I have very similar tastes all across the board but a couple of things that are different would be he's more of a country type guy (redneck as he puts it LOL) and I'm full-blown big city girl through and through..he's high strung and can't sit still or in quiet for very long.....I'm more mellow and can sit in silence very easily....thats all I can think of at the moment though I'm sure there are other things...

Haha... for us, we have different interests... he likes scuba diving and airplanes. I like classical music, my violin, and my laboratory things. See... how different we are! He is a korean, and im an indonesian... He loves korean food, and mine is indonesian food. If we dont respect one another, lets call it quit! or... bring it on... lets call the whole thing off? hehe... For me, to know more someone who is really has different with us, and especially love him the way he is, make me understand that we're different and to love the differences is the key to bring us together. If he wants to go to diving, i may only wait him in the boat but not to dive with him. he has some friends who diving with him, so its enough for him to go to the deep water. I have phobia with dark water, and he understand it. I bring him food and snacks, so he will eat them after diving. He is the one who accompany to go to my music lesson... he loves the way i play my violin, for him, he become a classical music lover because of me. But promise, i never ask him to listen them... to force him to do so will break our relationship. I'll let him to know more about me and respect one another. Im not good in sports, and but he is! He loves airplane, because he is working as aircraft technologist. i dont have any background about the terms that he used to say to me... but anyway, i ask him, and he is always excited to tell bout those things... his eyes always tell him that aircraft is something that interesting...

This is a hard one because my fiance and I like a lot of the same things. I think if anything, it would that I like Chinese food but he doesn't. We are both picky about what we eat but he more then I.

I was the oddball in my mother's family. I wasn't into their rural way of life, i.e., rodeos, cowboy boots, hats, lariats. My brother tried to fit in, but they still didn't like him. Eventually I just decided they were the weirdos and did my own thing. Thank goodness me and my husband agree on most things,and if we don't, we compromise. I remember when my parents used to fight over the tv. Really ridiculous.

My wife and me have the common taste in almost everything exept for one thing.She doesn't fancy the horror and gore flicks but I just adore them with all the other genre.

Yes, if is difficult situation, when family members or you and your partner have different tastes and inclinations. I myself find this kind of situation difficult to tackle. My better half loves to watch soaps and all kind of mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law types of serial, on the other hand, I just cannot tolerate those serials. I would love to watch Discovery or National Geographic channel or will tune into any English News channel, she just does not like to watch these channels (chennals of my choice), when she has to enjoy her serials and soaps. And sometimes, it so happens that both of us want to see the TV at the same time. If such a scenario comes, I do not enter into arguments, I surrender and try to pass my time, doing something else e.g. reading etc. or if the programme is very tempting and enjoyable, I switch on the TV in another room to see it. Good Post! dpk How are you?

I love to spend hours and hours watching Cnbc, Ndtvprofit, and spend in sites that relate to stock markets.. Even in my dreams i think of share market.. and if at all i tune to other channels.. i settle in Ten sports and in other sports channels and sites. But my family, inclusive of my parents and wife.. always prefer to watch common channels carrying news..comedy.. and other tele serials.

Well there are a lot of things that we like and things that we don't agree upon. But I never have a problem with my wife in so far as those things are concerned. We always understand each other and give and take. Sometimes I gave in to here choice of movies and she also gives in to mine. For me, a relationship to be successful needs lots of understanding. Remember that each of you are of different personalities.

I really dont have that special 'special' someone yet so I cant really answer your question to the tee. My parents also leaves me be in what I like and I dont like. However, I do have friends.^_^ Sure we like each other and would be there for each other despite our differences but there are things that I like that they dont and they like that I dont. Its usually about food.LOL! One example would be a donut flavor. My friend loves Bavarian fillings in the donuts and I absolutely do not like them. I tease her about it, like how can she stand to eat that kind of thing? Its just teasing and she usually just teases back.Hehehe We just order and eat the flavor that we want and at least have some fun with the others' flavor.LOL^_^

I love it when I have a houseful of guests for a holiday, birthday party, whatever. I just love having people around. My husband hates it! He'll usually become like a turtle and just pull his head inside his shell whenever I have people over. He's actually made excuses to be out of the house all day, until he knows that everyone has gone home! My sons were visiting me yesterday, as they do every Wednesday. My husband barely said two words to them the entire day!!! I mean, these are his step-sons... MY children! It's not like they were uninvited guests who just 'dropped by' or anything, it's something done every Wednesday. They come over and help me around the house and garden (when it's not freezing cold outside!) because there's simply too much for me to do because of my medical problems and my husband is basically a very lazy man. He's said numerous times that he'll help me with "it" as soon as he can, but never seems to get the time to do it. He's either working, watching TV or sleeping. THEN, he gets an attitude about my sons helping me because he feels like a failure, I suppose. If I felt like a failure at something, I'd make an even better effort to change that, but not him. He just sulks and feels sorry for himself or, as he puts it, he feels angry at himself but, since I'm always with him, I have to take the brunt of his attitude! So, that's a HUGE disagreement we have. It really hurts me every time my sons come over and my husband barely even acknowledges their presence. He does this on holidays, too. I had a 4th of July party our first year in this house and he 'conveniently' HAD to go in to work that day. Imagine that! He was the ONLY person at work that day. He knows how much it hurts me, too, because I've told him. Yet, he continues to do it. Sorry... I didn't mean to rant on about this but it's fresh in my mind right now because yesterday was Wednesday and hubby's attitude is still very fresh in my mind. But, thanks for the opportunity to vent! It helped some.

"Men are for Mars and Women are from Venus" so as they say which definitely partners do have a lot of things to contend about. My case is the Manny Pacquaio fights in which case my wife hated it so much and I wouldn't dare to be listen to her, lol. Other sports stuff and she loves all the drama movies, lol. We also disagree on perfume and scents, since, we do have different taste in terms of fragrances, but definitely at the end of the day, we end up agreeing on something we disagreed on. hehehe.

Hey mimpi! I have to say that I am pretty lucky because both me and my boyfriend really happen to get along great and agree on alot of things and like alot of the same things. We both love to watch sports and watch football and basketball together! We both love the same kind of music and listen to it loud together! We enjoy the same kinds of food which I cook! We can watch tv most of the time together by comprimising! There aren't too many things that we don't agree on! I mean there are times that I don't want to watch something that he does or I don't feel like watching tv at all and I go in and turn on the computer instead, but most of the time if we are together we can agree on most things. The only thing that he doesn't like to do with me is grocery shop because I take too long!

hI mIMPI!Who is this 'him' may I ask/or is it all Abstract and not from your personal example? I have a personal example to share--we are poles apart in everything and sometimes my husband wonders how they ever matched us in marriage. We have passed 30 years wondering about the reason and hope to pass the next decades also without finding an answer and continuing as diametrically opposite in perspectives of fun, perceptions, manner of speaking, behaviour, thought , word and everything else except a fundamental philosophy of life and faith.

I have problem with my kids while watching television programmes. But now since they are at home the whole day and I am out for 12 hours of the day I have told them to watch thier favourite programme during the day and the remote is mine for two hours in the evening. Even some food that I dont like I ask them to cook that for lunch and have. As far as going out for the day on a picnic both the kids disagree with each other and as a result we end up sitting at home!!!!

So you watch cartoons and he plays sports or whatever. I think the basis of any relationship is what you agree on and not on the differences. If you can live with all the differences then you have something good.

My husband and I have totally different interests - he likes sports and singing; I enjoy reading. He is sociable, likes to talk to people. I've lonely habits, would prefer to stay at home. Anyway we don't disagree - just accept that we're different and learned to adjust/adapt.

Well, barely have that problem since I am living in a city far away from my hometown and my bf in another city. We only spend weekends and holidays together and he always agrees with me on how to spend time together, lol. Only once, he'd got a week holiday and then we were spending so much time together and I was a little unused, heehee. I missed mylotting so much while he didn't bring his laptop and he's a little mad at me, haha. He thinks that mylotting is kinda waste of time and always wants me to learn new things. Besides, he also thinks that I've spent too much time and money shopping. But when it come to travel or buying useful things, especially books, he is always overjoyed like a child. But I really like shopping, buying beautiful things, lol. And that's what we disagree on.

Hi Mimpi Me and my partner have difference of opinion on various issues.We both are working and have very little time at our disposal.I usually go back to home from my office at around 6.00 pm and he comes homes at around 8.00pm ,so before his arrival i make sure that i complete all household chores so whatever little time we have ,we can be together,chat for sometime,discuss some matters.But as soon as he comes home he will switch on the television and lay on the bed.I get very annoyed with his habit.He even does not bother to answer my questions.So in the end i am playing with my son and he is watching television.I wish i could just make him understand that i need him and his time.
