I feel strange. I am going out with someone who never makes me laugh but is kind and helpful. He helped me set up my hammock but he doesn't get my humor and when I try to show him what I'm interested in he acts like my cat when I show him that I'm eating something he won't like. Sniffs and walks off. It's like he wants to be interested in my little things but is unable to force himself. When I tell a joke he doesn't get it unless I overexplain it. I have never been married and I hear that people learn to put up with all sorts of things but it always sounds hellish to me.

So I do love him but I don't love love him, and can't see a future with him, but I don't hate him.

I don't know how to hold opposing opinions about someone without getting upset with them. It's my cross to bear.
