How do I keep this relationship going?

Question

We are so different.  We’ve been together since teenagers, and ten years and two kids later I realise that we have absolutely nothing in common.  
No shared interests.  Nothing we care to talk about together.  We don’t even have any tv shows we both enjoy.  
We tend to just sit in different rooms doing our own thing.  
Is there a way to salvage this?

Answer

Absolutely.
My fiancé and I have literally nothing in common. Nothing.
We don’t enjoy the same music.
he loves movies, I don’t.
We don’t enjoy the same TV shows.
I’m emotional, he’s not.
We don’t like the same foods.
The list really goes on and on.
Just because you don’t share all the common interests, doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy something BECAUSE your SO enjoys it. We enjoy laughing and making jokes about our differences. We play fight (play argue) about his picky eating and my inability to sit through a movie. We still do the things together that we don’t share the interest in (like tv shows). We pick a random tv show to watch and joke on each other for how much they dislike/like the tv show we share the opposite view of. Ultimately, i think we bond over humor. We make jokes about everything, literally everything.
Think about what brought you together in the first place. You are able to bond over past experiences and your children. I don’t think this is anything to end a marriage over in any way, shape or form. If you want to do more things together or to share interests, communicate that to your spouse. They can’t fix something they don’t know is wrong.

Answer

Unless you both work on it there’s nothing to be saved here. Maybe go for couples counselling.

Answer

I could try to find something in common.. me and my husband are so different.. both mentally.. physically.. spiritually.. but we make it work very easily.

Answer

My husband and I are also very different. We’ve been together since we were 13 & 15. We’ve made it work. I’d say try to reflect on what brought you both together in the first place. you don’t have to be the same to find common ground.
