This is the big thing for me: don't feel as thought you have to do everything together. We've been "an item" for nearly 40 years, living together for 35, married for nearly two. Her sister lives with us. In the evenings they watch TV together and I come in here to watch Jess Franco and Gialli and the like.
We have different tastes (but both dislike the same things) and similar political views. We rarely go out together. We rarely get sick of each other, hardly ever argue (I usually give in first because it's not worth the bother: you prove you're right - so what? We don't argue about big things anyway.)
