I have a boyfriend I have been dating off and on. We have been heavily discussing marriage, children.
The big issue is....we don't agree on much!
I am "conscious" for lack of a better word, natural, Vegetarian type and he, very conservative, Christian, and he just came to this country 5yrs ago.
With our culture difference there's also the difference in our beliefs and preferences.
I want a big wedding with all of my family & friends celebrating us vs. He wants a courthouse marriage
I'm anti-vaccination, circumcision, I prefer to have my child at home with a mid-wife vs. He thinks it's all stupid and I should be in a hospital
I don't want to raise my kids as Christan vs. Him being Catholic
I want to move out of our small town vs. Him wanting to stay
He also wants me to change my career vs. Him being currently unemployed (first time since we've dated) I suggest him going back to school which he refuses.
I'm also vegetarian which I want to raise my children to be vs. Him being carnivorous
Can two people who are so different make it work or am I being desperate because my biological clock is ticking? Should I try to find someone who shares my same view points or try to make it work? No one can predict the future but is this a recipe for disaster?
