Dear Healed
There are bound to be challenges when marrying for the second time around and blending two families together. Differences can be turned to positives if you are able to recognise those differences, accept them and appreciate them, but that does take time and effort. My husband likes to start new projects but gets bored when they are no longer challenging, whereas I am very wary of starting something new, but like to see soemthing through to the end even if I have to plod along. He sees the big picture whereas I think the details are imortant. It used to cause real disagreements and tensions between us. Now we try to appreciate what the other is good at and recognise how our different priorities can irritate.
I hope it will be easier for you to talk things through when you can spend more time together without the commuting.
Why not have a look at the resources about
second marriages. Another thing to consider is some
marriage enrichment which can help you get to know and appreciate each other better. If you are not in the UK, many of the programmes are available in USA and other countries.
Hope the move goes well
Kate
