“I naturally lean toward the left side of my brain and she leans heavily the other way. I am prone to internalizing my feelings until they boil over; Hillary is on the more expressive side of things. Then we tend to reverse these roles in the heat of a disagreement, with me continually asking, “What’s wrong?” and Hillary continually thinking, “He ought to know!”
“My default is to be lazy and to procrastinate, hers is more Energizer Bunny. I’ve worked a long time to overcome a tendency toward co-dependence; Hillary is without a doubt the most independent person I’ve ever known.
“We look at things, hear things, and assign meanings to things as differently as seems imaginable to me. And in the early and extremely explosive days of our relationship, every bit of reason and logic within me screamed at me to run (just ask my mom). I’m immensely glad I didn’t listen. My relationship with Hillary has been and continues to be, the truest and most beautiful thing in my life.
“We are so grateful we’ve given each other the gifts of our commitment and our persistence. Through learning and doing the very things we share in this book, a day doesn’t go by now without us having the full awareness that our relationship is indeed the truest and most beautiful thing in our life.”
