LOVE: Are we too different for this to work out?

Hi Chris!

I’m definitely the sort of person who loves big social events, noisy conversations and loud music. But my husband’s just the opposite. He’s very quiet, actually likes being alone (which I hate!!), hates small talk, and would rather read a book than socialise. And though I love him to bits, and he’s wonderful when it’s just him and me, I will admit that all that his lack of social skills is beginning to get to me. Like I can’t remember the last time we went out to a party together.
