DEAR ANNIE: My girlfriend and I are really in love, but we are opposites in so many things.
She loves to travel, and I like my routine at home. She always wants to dance, but I think of myself as a lousy dancer. However, she always encourages me when we’re on the dance floor -- offering compliments and holding my hands.
She works in sales, so her job is to be out all the time, entertaining people. I work at home on the computer. She likes to recharge by going out, while I like to recharge by staying in. When I bring this up, she tells me she loves me and wants for me to be happy, so she will stay in more. But I want for her to be happy, too, so I’ll say no, we should go out at least some of the time.
DEAR OPPOSITES: The fact that you have opposite personality traits isn’t really the problem; sometimes, those relationships can be the best. True love is about supporting each other and compromising, and it sounds like you both do that. Yes, I believe you are overthinking this and would encourage you and your girlfriend to keep doing what you are doing -- by having some nights out and some nights at home, and constantly supporting each other by communicating your feelings of love.
Do I approach her with my concerns or let this go as nothing more than idle conversation? Should I enjoy the journey and not focus on the destination? -- Am I Good Enough?
