I am an introvert and socially inept. My partner is the exact opposite. We have been together for 15 years and have never had an argument. This is the first time I've told this story; my partner, on the other hand, tells it to all who'll listen.
Also, I have acute hearing while my partner is half deaf. Neither of us likes to listen to the radio and find excessive noise very annoying. I've just reduced our TV bill by half, reducing it to just the basics, because we seldom watch it anymore except for a few minutes in the morning to catch up on the news.
I could get by with the love of my close family and our dog and a very few selective friends. I dearly enjoy when my partner takes the dog out for a *long* walk but am ever so glad to greet them lovingly when they return.
If I could *find* a deserted beach, I would gladly go there for a while and read. Eventually though, I would return to the responsibilities of my family. We enjoy reading together, often the same book at the same time.
And this thread is just asking for this old favourite:
And recently, I've been enjoying my new friends at MobileRead.
WDE. (coming out of my shell at MR)
