Now, I have had past relationships that I would have considered a LOT of work. Not even worth it in the long run, and they were so much hassle. I'm absolutely thrilled that I finally found DH!

PS - Seeker, I think between DH and I, his traits (sensitivity, communication, etc.) are probably much more female than mine. I think I am more the "male" in our relationship, lol. Maybe this is why so many women like to befriend gay men (DH isn't gay, but he's really like having a girlfriend - with benefits). He always loves to talk about everything and he's so sappy. Definitely not what I'm used to in a man.
I hear you Debbie -- Nothing pleases me as much as pleasing DH. I love to see that shining sparkle in his eye and the slight grin

Also I can relate to the female/male traits. We, DH & I, can be watching a movie and during the sensistive moments, he will "leak" tears and very rarely do I. Because I grew up with two brothers, I think I pretty much learned to hide my emotional side most of the time; i grew up as a tomboy.

But I too, love the sensitive side to him. And I relate to what you're saying as far as feeling more male myself, at times.

My husband and I have some major differences--different race, he is much older than me, list goes on and on. I think the relationship began in love, but has continued into a conscious decision to be with one another and accept eachother's difference because of that love. It's a two fold thing. But I can honestly also say that the early years are the hardest, too. As time marches on, our marriage has gotten better and better

I don't think luck is the right word to use... "good fit" is a better. Your partner's faulty points / quirks should be things you don't mind in the long run, and vice versa.
