This is an interesting offshoot of the other thread.
I am more of an introvert, but also have more hobbies, interests, and am generally better able to manage myself and my time alone than H. H is more extroverted, loves to be with me (and tell me what to do, “manage” me, I think after years of working), but has fewer interests and is not as good as occupying himself. When he is out of town, I can have a date for lunch or dinner pretty much every day, if I want. I find that is important to keep me eating healthily and regularly, oddly enough. I get busy and neglect myself that way. This is funny to say, too, because even though I am the introvert, I think I have more friends. H has been too busy working to make new ones—his are old college and army buddies. He does a good job staying in touch with his old friends, he hasn’t done a good job meeting new people.
We do enjoy a number of activities together: swimming, triathlon, hiking, exploring new places, some TV shows and movies, some restaurants, watching some sports live or on TV. We do have some common friends from these activities. I also like reading, so am in a book club, art and history, so visit museums alone or with friends, and volunteer at local organizations. I do invite him to some of my activities, the ones he likes, but I have to say, kind of like OP was noting, he wants me to come to pretty much all his stuff. And I don’t always want to go. I want him to have his own activities that don’t involve me and allow me to stay at home alone.
We do enjoy traveling and exploring. I think that is one of our strengths. We are both fit and bold and like to be active and so have the energy and inclination to have some great vacations—and even small trips to local trails. When H worked in NYC, it was a game to see how many steps we would log in a day.
Sleeping arrangements? We start off together. I am the poor sleeper who snores, so I don’t always finish the night in the bed.
