My husband and I have been together for 27 years now and we have a lot of things in common, like we like most of the same TV shows. But I was just thinking about some of the things we like that are not so much the same. I like my ice cream a little bit melted and soft, he prefers his as hard as possible, I love seafood, he does not, I like my nachos dipped in cheese so they get a little bit soggy, he dips them and eats his right away so the chips stay crisp. If there is a drawer or cabinet I think it should be filled, my husband thinks they should be mostly empty. What are some things that you can think of that you and your signficant other have a difference of opinion on?

Well great to hear about the 27 years of togetherness. It really speaks volumes about the love and bond between u and your partner. Well marriage is the bonding of two minds and souls and this is the way two partners find solace and comfort in the company of each other. There are some things that the both have in common and in some that they differ a lot and yet the bond is still strong and is going great.
What say?

He loves to watch sports I don't
he is more of a salad person and I am more of a soup person
he loves fish and seafood not me.
he will take crap off everyone, not me

My husband really loves anything chocolate and he doesn't like fruity things. While I like chocolate, I also really love fruit pies and things like strawberry shortcake. He will eat them, but he'd much rather have chocolate. My husband also won't eat ham and I love ham! He can't even stand the smell of ham, so I don't get ham very often. I really like it when I go to a buffet or someone else's house where they have ham because then I get to eat it. He's not opposed to me making ham, but since he hates the smell, I don't like to make him suffer.

I am happy for you since you guys have been being together for 27 years already. It does make sense when you guys have a lot of things in common. But you guys are 2 guys then for sure you are different a bit in life style or hobbies.
Currently i am single, so that..i have to wait to see who is my partner and find out how he is different with me..

Wow, 27 years, congratulations!
My husband and I are going on our 4 year anniversary shortly. However, we were married 5 years the first time, divorced for about 15 years and now on the second go around. Even after being apart for all those years, we still have alot of things in common,such as foods, except he likes spicy foods, we can finish each other's sentences and know what the other is thinking. We have difference in opinions when concerned with money, I penny pinch when he likes to spend. I guess in any good relationship you have to have some kind of differences to keep things going, because we can't all be perfect!

hubby and i will be celebrating our 25th in october and well, we are different in a lot of ways. i love old rock music like the Stones and psychedelic music from the 60s, jazz and big band music too plus, i am a history fanatic and love antiques. he really is not into any of those things. funny, but our tastes are really different in a lot of ways. he will watch shows that i like and visa versa. we really don't have a lot in common but still love each other. i guess sometimes differences are good in a marriage.

My husband and I are together for five years.
have many differences but also many of the same things.
We both love the peace and quiet.
like things to be arranged and we both love the same things clean and wrong is clear.
but we also have many differences such that no one is confused in the privacy of the other to have time for yourself.
nice day!

Wow 27 years, i hope my husband will also last that long together. Most of the time my husband and i had a same taste in terms food, clothes, furniture's and point of view in life but of course like you there are some differences. He love's to eat lots of vegetables and i don't, he like to watch action movies while i love romantic and love story movies. He always massing our house and i always keeping the house clean. He loves to listened to loud music while i love soft music and i think there are more differences. Also for me, the most important things in every differences we have, we learned how to adjust and respect each other to make our relationship strong and last.

I have a lot of interests in things that my other half really does not like. I love surfing the net for news, information and making some extra money, but she does not like I spend much time online. She likes going out more often but I do not. We have almost same tastes in food, movies, music and other things though.
