I'm on my 12th of my first 20 trays and I can't believe how much of a difference they've made in just a couple months. I'm thoroughly sick of my trays but it's already feeling worth it. I'm most excited for when they close the gaps in my front bottom teeth 😅
Firstly, we've been together for about 1.5 years and are like best friends, living together 4 months. We want the same thing in regards to kids/marriage in our future and get along very well most of the time. We never stop laughing while together and support one another in all we do. Most of our conflicts come from differences in how we go about housework.
Anyway I'm quite creative, I always have an art project or two in the works and its how I wind down/ express myself. I'm also big into fashion, writing, gardening, music, reading and fitness. My boyfriend's interests are watching TV, playing video games and his job (sales). He doesn't do anything else or seem to want to do anything else. I'm scared we might fall into the routine of that couple who never grows together because one or both aren't willing to explore new things. I try to plan interesting dates so we can spend time together that isn't just having sex or watching TV. But I feel a bit sad that he never has any suggestions. I find myself wishing I had someone who could match any of my interests at all. Yes I like video games and TV too, but he never is interested in what I want to watch and we prefer to game solo. So we always just end up watching his shows and it just feels like time I could be spent being productive. I know I can never change him, should I just get over it and accept that I'll never have a partner that I can explore those interests with? We have good friends that are dating each other and they're always making art and reading and going on bike rides together. We don't have a single thing that doesn't involve a screen numbing out minds for a while and not actually enjoying each other's presence.
I was talking to him about fulfillment in life the other day and he says he gets all of that from his job, he doesn't need other things for that. I dont think I can ever comprehend my job being my whole life. Are we just incompatible?
TL;DR
Boyfriend and I don't have the same interests/hobbies despite all of our other values aligning and I can't understand him because of this. Is it worth trying to work through?
