We've been separated over a year, but always "working on it" b/c we both still really love and care for each other. Tough b/c last 6 months in different cities b/c of work. There are lots of issues that I can still see solving if we both agree to really work at it.
But my main concern has always been that no matter how close our hearts are, our minds are far apart. Often, he can't understand what's interesting to me - books I read, films I watch, writing I do. He loves sports TV. I have part of a master's degree - he never finished college. I'm a grammar freak and he ... isn't. But we DO have fun at movies, restaurants, sports, and traveling.
Even now, we haven't gone to other people, but I always worried that if I met someone more compatible, I would be tempted.
Basically, this is something I don't see how he can fix, so if our marriage is to have a chance, I have to accept him "as is." Anyone have experience in how to do this? Married to someone with a different language even?
