That's pretty much the definition of insanity. Furthermore; the majority of folks that 'seemingly' have it figured out, have merely 'settled' for the differences. Maybe that's what it takes, but not for me.
I know I won't be happy with someone who wants to change my furniture, the TV shows I watch and where I put my towels. Selfish? Yeah, it's my life and there's no rule that says I have to settle. I'm in a 'seemingly' perfect relationship right now. A long distance one, too. I only see her on the weekends and nothing ever goes wrong (so far). But I know it's either a matter of time, or a matter of living together before everything falls apart. But until then, I just sit back and enjoy the 'current' ride. If it doesn't end, great. If it ends, well... It wouldn't be a surprise to me,, so moving on is easier. For those who are really and truly happy, good for them.
Best of luck.
